Apple Vision Pro Sets Its Fan Speed Based On Noise It Hears
Apple Vision Pro apparently sets its fan speed based on how much noise the microphones hear.
With Apple Vision Pro however, temperature doesn't seem to be the only factor in fan speeds. According to Max Thomas (aka Shiny Quagsire), the main developer of the visionOS port of the SteamVR streaming tool ALVR, the headset also sets the maximum fan speed based on how loud the fans are, measured with the headset's microphone array.
The idea is presumably that in louder environments, those with more ambient noise, the fans will be harder to hear. So the overall goal of ensuring you rarely hear any fans can be maintained while maximizing performance.
This all leads to the bizarre conclusion that Apple Vision Pro should perform better in noisy environments […].
They should set its price level based on how much value it adds.
Prices for luxury goods are set by what the market will bear.
They do. That’s why RAM and storage upgrades are crazy expensive for Apple products.
They are priced by what people will pay, which is the result of what people think they are worth.
I'm sure all 3 people that bought one of these POS's are elated to know that it will work better with Spotify playing in the background.
A lot of developers bought these. I’d classify the Apple Vision Pro as an early adopter type product right now. Hardware capabilities look impressive, but software has rough edges from what I have read. I don’t think Apple really has a feel where this device is going to go yet either.
