Consider this the week of other shoe-dropping by Apple. Thanks to the new availability of spatial videography on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max – and my experience with it – we’re finally understanding the point of Apple’s cutting-edge mixed reality headset. I shot spatial video on an iPhone 15 Pro, and had the rare opportunity to see it played back on a Vision Pro headset. Consider that other shoe dropped – and the Vision Pro’s possible killer app identified.
I guess we helped Apple drop another shoe by reviewing all the Macs based on its brand-new M3 silicon. We reviewed the new 24-inch iMac, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the new MacBook Pro 14 running the powerful M3 Max chip – that thing was cooking with gas.
When we weren’t fielding Apple’s fusillade of updates, the team has been focused on finding amazing Black Friday deals across all your favorite tech categories. I’m personally stunned at the low prices for some of these huge big 4K TVs, and I've also just realized what a good gift an air fryer would make for my parents – why didn't I think of it before?
AI was the other big theme of this week, with OpenAI trying to turn various versions of ChatGPT into almost iPhone-like apps, and Samsung announcing its own entry into the field.
Finally, if you could do me a favor and, after reading all our Loki season 2 coverage, not email me about any of it? I have yet to start it. Thanks.
It’s been a busy week – let’s look back at it together, shall we?
