The era of Apple slowly opening up its platforms and devices without government intervention has ended.
When was this ever true? Apple has always been a walled garden.
sadly, you are right, I’ll return to android when ever I will be able to.
Even for an AI image, that’s pretty low quality. The bricks don’t line up.
The geometry and perspective don’t make any sense either.
And thematically I would have gone for something evoking the actual Berlin wall:

I didn’t, the article did by paraphrasing Reagan. And hyperbole is a perfectly valid figure of speech anyway.

It is one of Reagan’s most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.

I’m not op but the post was made in the context of the article. The article which had a title modifying this quote about the Berlin Wall “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to refer to Apple’s CEO.

As far as I can tell, the hyperbole was already present before OP shared the image.
…Or have I misunderstood your point?
Normally I purposefully don’t click on articles with AI generated images, this one was so bad I thought it was a really bad photoshop instead
Apple will “tear down that wall” as soon as consumers stop licking Apple’s boots.
I don’t anticipate it, most consumers don’t take the time to be critical or try alternatives. :(
Which, if the next version of the goggles has a useful battery life, may be no time soon.
Goggles are an absurd joke and yet another example of greed.
They could have just connected that stupid wire that’s already there to your MacBook and saved you thousands of dollars in processors while making the headset lighter and more comfortable but they had to cram it all into the headset so they could sell them for four thousand fucking dollars.

Jesus, MacBooks cost 5K? That’s ridiculous, I’d expect that for a nice gaming laptop.
It’s a good point. The only bespoke thing on there, as far as I can tell, is the R1 chip. I assume a cord with enough bandwidth could be found in order to have a more modular system. The MacBook end may or may not have the port capacity for that, though.

Maybe a bit of hyperbole there but they certainly can be. A fully upgraded Mac Pro is ~$7k.

Yeah, I mean put that in the headset and leave the rest in the laptop. It’s the same chip.
