Arr, mateys! Methinks Apple be lookin' to stuff their Vision Pro with a monstrous 16GB RAM and 1TB o' storage, makin' their basic MacBooks shiver in their boots! Ye scurvy dogs be fallin' behind, I reckon!
The Apple Vision Pro, set to be released on February 2nd with pre-orders starting on January 19th, is generating a lot of buzz in the tech world. According to MacRumors, the Vision Pro is rumored to come with 16GB of memory, the same amount as the developer kits that were sent out last year. It is also speculated that there will be options for up to 1TB of storage, even though the base model comes with a 256GB SSD. These impressive specs, along with the M2 chip and new R1 chip, show that Apple is positioning the Vision Pro as a spatial computing device rather than just a VR or AR headset.However, this focus on specs could leave Mac and MacBook owners feeling left out, as Apple continues to sell devices with base models that have 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage. Apple has defended this by claiming that 8GB of unified memory in the MacBook Pro is equivalent to 16GB of memory in a Windows PC. But if Apple doesn't think 8GB is enough for the Vision Pro, it raises questions about whether it's enough for their other devices.
Overall, the Vision Pro's impressive specs and positioning as a spatial computing device show that Apple is taking this product seriously. However, it remains to be seen whether consumers will buy into Apple's vision and if Mac and MacBook owners will feel left behind by the company's focus on the Vision Pro.
