    I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.

    Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.

    Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.

      If their events are held to give us news and updates why didn’t they tell us that the new AirPods pro2 have a new chip for extremely low latency use with their VR headset?

      Because it’s not to give us news and updates, it’s to sell you on the latest flashy slab.

        I mean it’s obviously not news, news. It’s marketing. Most people just don’t care about latency on a product, especially when it’s for use with another - not even released product. What do you expect?

          It was reported on by a tech YouTuber. It allows 360 degree low latency audio for VR

            And presumably Apple told them. They aren’t going to list everything in an hour and a half keynote.

      Their software feature announcements are done at their developer conference. Many times they are telling people who make apple software about features. Apple developers don’t care they Android had something first. They develop for Apple and need to know what Apple products do.
