I already love the new hand gesture interface, and 3D photo conversions are amazing, too. But I want more, especially for connecting to the iPhone.

Apple’s iPhone 16 line hits store shelves on Sept. 20, and while the new phones get some impressive hardware upgrades, their biggest selling point isn’t the Pros’ larger displays or the lineup’s Camera Control button. It’s the generative AI-powered Apple Intelligence software platform.

HTC has just announced its brand new VR headset, the Vive Focus Vision, and instead of directly going after the Meta Quest's crown (and price point), it seems to be setting itself up as an "everything headset" closer to what Apple did earlier this year… except good.

Apple rolled out updates to all of its major operating systems this week, and the Vision Pro was no exception. With visionOS 2, the company has a chance to show the relative few who bought its spendy headset — and those who might yet — that it’s still committed to the new platform.

Apple's innovation strategy relies heavily on its App Store and developer community, allowing it to maintain a 45% gross margin. Read why I'm bullish on AAPL stock.
