Even if Vision Pro fails, these 3 features need to live on in Apple’s other devices
One of the greatest strengths of Apple’s product line is its ability for interplay. Not only do its devices work closely with each other, but features that begin life on one platform often make their way to others. Touch ID, for example, started on the iPhone before jumping to iPad and Mac models. The same goes for Retina and True Tone displays. Heck, Apple silicon began as part of Apple’s mobile efforts and now powers its entire lineup.
As demonstrated by the proceeding, this shift tends to happen especially with devices at the more cutting-edge end of Apple’s portfolio. No surprise, really, given that those tend to be the places that the company is investing the most time, money, and resources in pushing the technological envelope.
Of course, the latest in cutting-edge tech from Apple these days is none other than the Vision Pro. It’s chock-full of expensive, complex technology and frankly, it would be a bigger shock if none of its advancements ever made their way to other Apple products. Now that the Vision Pro has been in the wild for a couple weeks, it’s a bit easier to figure out which applications might actually make sense on Apple’s other products.
