Episode notes
YouTube On Vision Pro Is Underwhelming
- YouTube finally shipped a Vision Pro native app, but spatial content quality is poor and downloading isn't supported.
- The app fills an important gap, but Vision Pro's spatial video library remains low resolution and limited.
Demand 120Hz For Desktop Displays
- Push back on rumors like the Studio Display 2 shipping at 90Hz; prefer waiting for confirmed specs before assuming limitations.
- Demand 120Hz on desktop displays; it's become standard on many Apple devices and expected on external displays.
Apple Balances Process Choice With Scale
- Apple may choose slightly older TSMC process variants for volume and cost reasons over bleeding-edge nodes.
- Using N2 instead of N2P gives modest performance gains but improves yields and lowers manufacturing cost for large production runs.
