This seems like an unnecessarily unkind response. The post you're replying to is sharing their opinion and asking what people who are in the industry think about it.

FaceID was just one example they gave (which is probably faster and more energy efficient now).

Image recognition, OCR, AR and more are applications of the NPU that didn’t exist at all on older iPhones because they have would be too intensive for the chips and batteries.

Your response feels unnecessarily unkind

This feels somewhat analogous to games like Quake being open-sourced though still needing the user to provide the original game data files.

I think this is about the scale of it. This is going to be running on every iPhone and Mac, rather than a 3rd party app or website you buy or go to.

It’s now built into the operating system.

New update comes with an app dedicated to generating AI images and email and notes have features that generate and summarise text.

Wild that telnet isn’t installed by default on modern Macs. Times have changed.

This is an unkind nitpick of something someone has made.

It’s an app that runs on a Mac. What framework it’s running on doesn’t make it less of an app.

Your reply feels unkind. They just said they lived in Sweden for a time. I don’t think it implies luxury or that they’re a wealthy jet-setting cosmopolitan. It could be for one of many reasons.

I also don’t know what’s wrong with hearing the opinion of a jet-setting cosmopolitan anyhow.

Maybe some sort of cube mapping on the toasters to give them a reflective metallic look will make them blend with the environment more, situating them in the space and harkening to the original

(The APIs don’t let you use the actual environment for reflections, right?)

Maybe if Vision Pro takes off they’ll charge a higher fee for it like they do for higher resolution subscriptions.

I expect a use case for Spotify on the Vision Pro to be multitasking — listening to music while browsing the web or using other apps, same as phones and computers
