It’s fair to say there haven’t been too many Broadway performances with a raucous applause break for the mention of a forthcoming video game patch. And yet, The Town Hall, a 103-year-old music venue in midtown Manhattan, erupted last night at composer Eric Barone’s mention of “the 1.6 update.”
Apple Vision Pro is a "preview of the future than the future itself", says Mark Gurman

Apple has been talking about the Apple Vision Pro headset for more than a year, and it has finally been made available to the public recently. The product has created a lot of hype in this niche market and it has started to gain immense popularity, something not seen since when the iPhone debuted. However, even though Vision Pro headset is an amazing new advanced mixed reality tech, it still lacks some features and functionalities, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his latest newsletter, he said that Apple Vision Pro would require as many as four generations of improvements to reach its full potential.
According to Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter report, Apple Vision Pro has the capability to replace the iPad due to its wide range of features and functionalities to conduct basic tasks. Whether it can replace something like an iPhone, is questionable. While Gurman talked about the standout Vision Pro features, he also highlighted its drawbacks in various aspects. He said, “Vision Pro is more of a preview of the future than the future itself.” Also, even though the future of the iPad may be at risk due to Vision Pro, it will still take years and years of work in software and hardware upgrades to do that.

Among the points highlighted by Gurman is about weight. As of now, the Vision Pro headset is quite heavier than expected and has a very low battery life which could hamper use.
He added that, VisionOS operating system is not up to the mark and requires several enhancements. Highlighting the device's operating system, Gurman said, ‘At this point, it feels like the software is a beta version and about a year away from feeling refined enough for consumers to use on a day-to-day basis.”
So, how long will it take to get the Vision Pro up to snuff? Gurman says the Vision Pro team believes that it could take “four generations before the device reaches its ideal form.” This same steady approach has been seen in Apple with earlier products too such as iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad.
So, should people be buying it? In Gurman's view, “The reality is that a lot needs to be fixed before I can recommend shelling out $3,500 for the device.”

Rainbow Six Siege Director Comments on the Future of the Game
Alexander Karpazis, the director of Rainbow Six Siege, reveals Ubisoft's plans for the popular online shooter, indicating that the game still has a long life ahead of it. As Rainbow Six Siege prepares to hit its 9th birthday later this year, the shooter has come a long way from its initial launch which was largely defined by technical issues, a lack of content, as well as struggling to find a big audience out of the gate. However, Ubisoft doubled down on the title, and over the months and eventual years, Rainbow Six Siege has continued to feature very healthy player numbers as a brand-new season is set to launch.

Apple Vision Pro Front Glass Appears To Be Cracking Without Being Dropped Or Moved, As Reported By Multiple Owners
The Apple Vision Pro is a sturdy piece of glass and aluminum, but at the front, a previous scratch test revealed that the company used plastic, so getting permanent marks on it would take little effort. However, multiple owners are reporting that the front side of their AR headset are showing a crack while the device is just being stored and doing nothing else. This kind of occurrence would make anyone livid who has to fork $3,499 for a head-mounted wearable, and that too, for the measly base storage of 256GB.
