They just have to dumb it down for everyday applications. You think the drones they sell at Walmart are something they just developed in the last couple of years?

Maybe from their analytics the majority of people who own their devices spend time on a laptop and charge their phone on a laptop. Thats the sort of data they collect. They make informed decisions for the majority of people who own their products and if it makes sense and saves them money at the same time they will consider that decision. Those who complain mostly either: A. dont own a apple product B. own 1 apple product and don't want to buy the rest of their devices. What it goes to show is that a lot of people own two or more apple devices. I for one don't mind purchasing a dongle for the headphone jack as i don't mind plus i spend more time on my laptop as i use it for work. Not just browsing the Web. I enjoy their products despite their decisions. Their products last many more years than the traditional laptop for example. Ive been through it all. Ive had my Macbook Pro since 2014 and I'm happy with my purchase I also own an iPhone 5s sooooo. ye. My only issue with them are the price hikes. But my products are going strong.

11:41 best feature so far.. it's really nice to be able to skim through articles like that

great but I still think this technology is in its early stages. one of the problems I see is you can't interact with something if you don't look at it, as you can see at 9:12. she turns and leaves the bird behind. it might be a small thing but I guess people will tend to do these kinds of mistakes while multitasking and it takes away from the experience. I hope the next generation of hololenses will come with 360 degree cameras. also, it doesn't seem very responsive to me. overall I think it has many areas to improve but it will be exciting to see it happening.

This technology opens up a lot of possibilities. I wonder if this could be done on a slightly larger scale. Example, place it on the windshield of a car. There you could get augmented directions to locations, see names of stores as you pass them by. Cops could see reported stolen vehicles pop up with icons next to them as they are detected. You could clearly see where to go without having to look away from the road. Using these glasses, you could load high level instructions on how to repair your car or electronic devices. Race car drivers could install it in their helmets and get real time car conditions and instructions from the pit; lap time info. It's almost turning life situations into a video game HUD. Hmm, the more I think about this, the lack privacy could end up becoming an issue. Reminds me of the movie, Anon on Netflix.

add a distance camera that can see you face so you can video call people and they see you. another camera on the back of the handset so you can see around yourself without actually moving. add a voice Assistant that's like the new Google Assistant that will take it to a new level. make calls more powerful and personal than ever. that's what i would do with this technology and im just getting started
