M-series chip might be the biggest leap in newer time in computers. I think that's pretty well made by Apple at least.
What did Meta innovate? AI profiles?
-
The only place Meta innovates is in data-mining.
-
Avatar…legs!! 😆
-
Just because meta sucks doesn't let apple off the hook for anticompetitive behavior
-
no love for apple but what has meta done that was good let alone great in ever
and why did he throw away mainstream appeal just so he could go on a losers talk show only nazis listen to?
-
Because he wants to appeal to republicans in a time when they control all the levers of the federal government. He’s desperate not to be in their crosshairs and is trying to offer up an alternative is my read.

Who cares?
-
I mean, he's the wrong guy to call this out, and he and Meta are a cancer on society, but he's still not wrong. It is bullshit. And it's worth calling out in front of millions of people.

Why are the capitalists so complainy?
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps 😤, facts don't care about your feelings 😤, Apple is mean make them stop it 😭"

Oooo who has more money to throw at chancellor trump to make sure their business becomes the Brawndo of the new age???

What’s really rich about Meta and Zuckerberg’s incessant complaining about being restricted by Apple’s rules for third party software on Apple’s platforms is that Meta doesn’t allow third parties any sort of access to their successful platforms.
This is a bit of a false equivalency; "Apple's" successful platform is a general-purpose computing device owned by the user while Meta's are hosted services.
These traditionally have different expectations, with game consoles being the exception. Occulus devices seem more like game consoles to me, while iPhones are closer to general-purpose computers with a few weird restrictions. I don't like either, but I see game consoles as less problematic because their use case isn't important.
-
If you go by usage, I'd say the iPhone is primarily an entertainment device.
Meta has been promoting their Quest 3 AR desktop mode for productivity.
-
By time spent, the iPhone is probably used for media consumption more than anything else, but media consumption is not just entertainment.
-

If there is going be insistence on platforms being open there shouldn't be these distinctions.
All of these devices are capable of general purpose computing at a hardware level, phones, tablets, PCs, headsets are now very similar and generalised in that regard. I don't see why a phone platform should be forced to be open while a games console gets to remain closed, when there is now only a hair's breadth separating an Xbox from a Windows PC.
-
Apple should add "console" into their branding to solve all their problems.
The all new iPhone 17+ Console.
There isn't any significant difference between a Switch and an iPhone

Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp are important. Imagine if Gmail didn’t allow you to use other email clients, you had to use a google made app or the web interface. Would that be a write-off as “not important”?
-
I did not say that they're not important. I said that they're hosted services, which traditionally don't have the same expectation of user control as computers that users own.
-
-
Oh I thought it wasn't that great ? Now it is an amazing general-purpose computing device owned by many.
Huh.

Says the guy that won't allow Meta Quest developers the same level of access to their own hardware. Example: How would someone develop a 3rd party controller for the Quest VR headsets? You can't. They haven't exposed that API (or the cameras fully!).
They don't even let you set the clock on your Quest headset! Need to change timezones? Factory Reset
