  • Why Apple Reportedly Stopped Working On Next-Generation High-End Vision Headset? Find Out Reason Here |

    New Delhi: The tech giant Apple has suspended development on the next generation of its high-end Vision Pro headset reportedly. According to The Information report, the company is now prioritising the release of a more affordable version of the headset, which could hit the market by the end of 2025.

    According to a person involved in its supply chain and one person in the manufacturing of the headsets, the iPhone manufacturer is still working on releasing a more affordable Vision product with fewer features before the end of next year, reportedly.

    The Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is planning to sell its Vision Pro in eight new countries, including China and Japan. This move aims to boost sales of the $3,500 device, which has faced reduced demand following its initial surge in popularity.

    Moreover, Apple had originally planned to divide its Vision product into two models, similar to the standard and Pro versions of its iPhone reportedly.

    To recall, Apple unveiled its long-awaited AI strategy and announced a partnership with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI at the annual developer conference earlier this month. The event has boosted Apple’s shares, which have surged more than 11% this year after initially lagging behind other major tech companies because of weaker iPhone demand in China.

  • Man Sues Apple After Wife Reads Deleted iMessage Chats With Sex Workers |

    New Delhi: USA Tech giant Apple is being blamed and sued by a British businessman for his costly divorce. Now, a British man is suing an iPhone maker for approximately Rs 53 crore. The whole incident arose after his messages to sex workers which he thought were deleted, showed up on the family iMac and read by the man’s wife, leading to divorce proceedings.

    The middle-aged man, known only as Richard, also claims that the tech giant Apple has failed to inform users that deleting a message on one device does not remove it from all linked devices, as reported by The Times. The man has reportedly called upon London-based law firm Rosenblatt to file a lawsuit against the iPhone maker. However, the roughly Rs 53 crore lawsuit is to seek compensation for the financial losses incurred from the divorce and legal fees.

    Deleted Messages Recovered

    A man, who chose to remain anonymous, had used iMessage to communicate with sex workers. He thought he had deleted the incriminating messages from his iPhone. Unfortunately, he overlooked the synchronization feature of devices linked by the same Apple ID.

    In the end, the messages remained accessible on the family’s iMac, leading his wife to file for divorce.

    Impact on Marriage:

    He described divorce as an “extraordinarily stressful process,” especially when children and family dynamics are involved. He blamed the ordeal on Apple’s incorrect notification that his messages were deleted, which they were not. He noted that a message confirming the deletion on the device would have been a helpful indication.

But, after the case was over, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Epic Games owes Apple $73 million in legal fees and other costs, reports Apple Insider.
