No double. You've seen the video when heard news of the catastrophic flooding in valencia, spain last week. A report in the BBC over the weekend put the death toll at just over two hundred, with emergency workers then continuing the search for more victims and hopefully survivors has happened this ball with hurricane hulin and milton here in the states. Apple CEO tim cook has pledged support for relief efforts in the european country, and piece for mac rumors had cook kidding twitter saying we're thinking about those impacted by the devastating flash floods in the region of valencia, spain. Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground.

This is mac O S cana.

new O S betas for developers, some shuffling for a couple of apple le stores and a few stories on vision pro and mixed reality. IT is tuesday, the fifth of november twenty twenty four. I can, ray.

And this is news from maco can brought to you by yours truly and sponsored by in cognate, helping you take back your personal data, get sixty percent of an annual plan with code macos can. And in cognate, don't com slash macos can. The show was also supported by people like you patrons through petron find out more in that newer support at patron, don't comm lash macos can.

I tend to be fairly relaxed about dot number O S updates because they tend to be fairly home home with the exception of killing bugs zero days. They don't well, they don't usually offer a lot new, not so with the next round making news of developer beta kind of exciting these days. Mac rumors did something unusual on monday.

IT ran one peace about all of the OS developer datas. Apple ceded, rather than the huge world. One article. Pr, according to the report, the cupertino companies seated the first beta of watch s eleven dot two, T V O S eighteen dot two, ambition O S two two two developers, along with the second betas of IOS eighteen thousand two, ipad O S eighteen dot two, and Michael s.

Securi, the teen two, those last three, or where the fun is found being the homes of apple intelligence, the iphone, ipad and mac Operating systems are letting developers play with image playground mage warned chen mog, syria ChatGPT integration and visual intelligence. Then I say play with, I meant test and develop for that doesn't mean there's nothing new to the other Operating systems. I saw a few pieces, including one from nine to five mac.

That said, the vision O S beta adds new wide and ultra de settings when using mac virtual display. In addition, the piece as audio play back while using mac virtual display now comes from apple vision pro itself rather than from the connected mac. General display quality also appears to be much higher resolution as promised by apple a wwdc back in june.

No word on when apple will started hitting with beta for public testers, though you get to think you're it's going to be soon 了, the next round of O S updates to do out to the public in december, but the second half of december dedicated to holidays and end of year staff, a public release in the next five weeks would make sense. That should put betas for public testers high on apples to do list. News of a couple of three models for apple retail mac rumors takes us first to garden, sitting new york, where apple is renovating its rosabel field store.

According to the store site, IT will be moving to temporary digs in the same mall, while the twenty two year old location is bruised up, by which, I mean, got IT and made completely new. Probably no official word from maple on what the store will look like, but probably going to be in line with renovations made since until the errent ruled the retail rust, the mall will have no apple store for a little over one day. The old location goes dark on thursday, the seventh of november, with a temporary store opening on saturday.

The month changes in fairfax, Virginia are a bit more permanent. Mac rumours says the company is moving at all based apple fair oxe location. The new location is across inter state sixty six in the affair facts corner shopping paluda apple sight indicate that the affair oak's store will close for the last time on thursday, the seven of november, the immediate area will be without apple store for about thirty six hours, with the fairfax corner store opening on saturday, the night of november.

More news in the moment, but first to working today's sponsor in cognitive ping. You take back your personal data back from data brokers, companies that compile info about all of us, then sell IT for all kinds of uses like targeting us with ads or spam. Plus, having our info in so many places leaves us more vulnerable to identity theft and other criminal activity.

You can ask those data brokers to take your data down, but do you know who they are? And do you have that kind of time? This is what great about in cognate.

They do all of that, and they do repeatedly checking my personal and cognitive dashboard. Of the nearly two hundred requests they have sent on my behalf, over one hundred have been completed, while over thirty of those have my info on their suppression list. That means they will never recollect any personal information that could be associated with me, all thanks to and cognition.

They can do in the same for you, make an account, give them permission to work on your behalf. And in cognitive, goes to work IT might feel strained, giving them your information, but your information is out there. In cognitive helps you take IT back.

So do IT take your personal data back with incognito, sixty percent of an annual plan with cold macos can at code dot clash macos can. They got plans for individuals as well as plans that cover friends and family. And they come with a thirty day money back guarantee.

I N C O G N I join the huge community of people who have taken control of their personal data within cognate get sixty percent of an annual plan with code macos. Can at incog y don't come ash, macos can. There was a decent amount of A R B R X R M R at last week and over the weekend and sunday was a particularly busy day for IT.

That's when tf international analyst ming ji quote took to twitter with a statement that both hard to believe and bound the causes. As I understand that posted Young MC production of the cheaper vision pro has been delayed beyond twenty twenty seven for a while now. This means apple's only new head mounted displayed device in twenty twenty five will be the vision pro with an upgraded m five processor and is pretty crazy that the current one only has an m two.

Isn't IT anyway? His post continued, I think what really drove apple to delay the cheap er vision prose that simply reducing the Price wouldn't help create successful use case. It's some little to the hometown d situation.

Even after launching the cheaper homemade d mini, apple smart speakers failed to become mainstream products. Pretty sure I disagree. I was talking with a friend the other day who has an apple vision pro. He told me all about IT when he got IT and never mentioned that again. I assumed his use had dried up.

Quite the contrary, not only is he using IT a lot for content consumption, when he at home, he uses IT for work, when she's travelling and away from his dull monitor, set up back at his home office. That said, he is aware that he had the means to buy the thirty five hundred dollar device and how IT might fit into his life, which takes us back to twitter. In the T.

F. International analyst, after his talk of a cheaper vision pro delay, another twitter poster pointed out that there is no such thing as cheap at apple with them. The Prices is only at the xi mum, although their products are not at their maximum with features.

According to the poster to that, mj quo responded in another post saying apple's Prices are high across the board versus competitors, even homes pod mini. That's another issue. What apple considers affordable information probe might still be pricy versus competence. So what all comes down to whether they can provide successful use cases. So sounds like a chicken egg thing doesn't IT. Does apple need a killer use case to get people to buy a thirty five hundred dollars? Or does apple need to sell less expensive models so people can find their own killer use case on the same day that min g quotes that apple might punt on a less expensive handset?

Bloomberg mark germen had apple considering a different path, one that might address the issue of expands, at least he is said to have done so pieces from both nine to five mac and mac rumours had gone, saying on sundays, y's power on newsletter that apple is seriously considering a vision device that would use an iphone for compute rather than having its own computing power. Bell ten back rumors quoted government and is saying, I also continue to hear that apple is seriously considering a device that offloads the computing components to an iphone and serves as necessary for watching movies, that something that would be reply, the glass, is offered by companies like x real. The benefit for apple is that that would reinforce the iphone as the center of its product, the ecosystem, and offer something that could be a much more popular option than the thirty five hundred dollar vision pro.

Now I was curious to see what he had to say around that statement, but that's when things got weird. The quote is no longer part of sunday's power on newsletter, which is almost as interesting as the original quote itself. As for the vision pro model available today, another bees from mac rumours says apple's going to Carry a new accessory for IT.

That's what I said over the weekend, though. Monday mornings saw a number of sites, including eyebrowed load box, saying sales of this new thing and actually begun. According to the report, the belkin head strap can be used with the vision prose solo nit band for added comfort and stability while wearing the headset, the mac rumours report said.

The adjustable strap features a secure locking mechanism for additional stabilization, and that offers a precise bit for a wide range of head sizes and shapes. The additional band for the thirty five hundred dollar had set will run buyers an extra fifty bucks. IT is available to order now through apple or this place today show shipping in the second half of the month.

And finally, today, talking to creative strategies, principal analyst bend, by hiring about apple vision pro a few months ago, I asked whether the mixed reality raised was already over. What had the apple meta and I heard of also around? He said then that I was too early to say that that the whole mixed reality space is far too Young to name winners or losers are even know who'll end up being a player. With that in mind, news of another player and gadget antipas late last week that had samsung teasing an extended reality, or xr, play and among its third quarter earnings results, the company said that IT plans to improve connectivity among products, including upcoming xr devices, to further elevate user experiences in the galaxy ecosystem. It's not much to go on, but still interesting to see .
