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.

The announcement of the Apple Vision Pro headset in 2023 brought the buzz over VR and augmented reality (AR)—which overlays digital content onto the real world—to a new level.

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.

The Vive Focus Vision has enough firepower under the hood to appeal to PC gamers tethered via the DisplayPort.

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.
