There has always been snark but I swear it has been really excessive lately.

    There's also just a growing number of the simple contrarian perspective mixed with the growing "anything new is bad" cultural lens.

  Tim Cook burned goodwill kissing Trump's ass like Elon and Zuck did. The old "Apple is different!" attitude was replaced with a police state.

Its brutally expensive and probably doesn't fit in a pocket well. Do you expect hn being an uncritical apple fanclub?

  Both could be said of the iPhone Pro as well, which continues to sell and sell well. It's obvious to me there's a market for this stuff I'm not part of, same as the Vision Pro, and that's fine.

    You can still critisis it and not just accept free advertising from apple on hn.

    There's no a market for the vision pro it had extremely poor sale numbers and there won't be a vision pro 2 as far as I know.

      They sold at least a half million of them, surely not all to app developers trying them out. There's some market, I'm not part of it, maybe you aren't either. I'm sure there will be a Vision 2 some day, we're talking about a company that won't release a new Apple TV until they have a good reason even though everyone I know in THAT market wants one.

Beauty is subjective. That's not snark, that's reality. Nothing is "genuinely beautiful". You can't just call something beautiful and have everyone agree that it is in fact "beautiful". It's the most overused word in marketing.

I'm not the market for it (I don't watch youtube, etc on phone), but I've seen some Samsung folds IRL and they are pretty amazing for video content. This is a gorgeous design.

People have always complained about HN being too snarky, or snarkier than it used to be. Comments like this don't help; they just compound the snark!
