Apple has released its first new product category in years. The jury is still out on whether it will be a hit or not, but stay tuned.
The commercials show users wearing the headset all the time – which is odd given the battery only lasts two hours, but you can swap batteries out.
But lets assume that people do wear it all the time.
The beast contains two depth sensors, twelve cameras and six microphones. After all, with all of that audio, video and data, what could possibly go wrong?
The vision pro uses four cameras to track your eyes and LEDs to scan your iris. They use that data for among other things, to unlock your device and authorize payments.
Apple claims that none of this data is sent to the cloud. DOES THAT MEAN THAT NO RAW DATA IS SENT TO THE CLOUD OR NO DATA IS SENT TO THE CLOUD?
Apple is not allowing third party apps to access the camera to capture photos and videos.
Until these apps figure out a way around that.
But, of course, with a subpoena all that privacy is gone in a heartbeat.
Apple is saying what is NOT being sent to Apple, but they are also NOT saying what is being sent to Apple. As Apple expands its ad business could Apple use data DERIVED from all of those sensors to make a lot of money off of ads. Technically, that would not require them to sell those photos and videos.
Certainly, as a business, if you are going to allow these things in the door, you should get a lot more information first. In the meantime, a ban seems like the prudent thing.
