    Even Apple’s Vision Pro can’t escape dongle life.

    In Apple’s WWDC Platforms State of the Union video, the headset is shown on a table with what looks like a USB-C dongle, as pointed out by MacRumors. It could be a way to connect the headset to a Mac for development, a more convenient power connection than the battery pack, or maybe some kind of Apple-only diagnostic tool.

    Whatever it is, it looks like no Apple product can escape #donglelife.

    xrOS lives!

    Apple’s Vision Pro virtual reality headset (yes, it’s VR) runs on “visionOS.” But if you dig into the developer sessions at WWDC, you’ll notice “xrOS” on various slides and named videos. It was the rumored name and also probably the internal name for the operating system. And now it gets to have a legacy.

    Volvo’s gone cluster-less.

    Remember the jeers Tesla got for having no instrument cluster or HUD in the Model 3? Now Volvo’s getting in on a similar design with the new EX30.

    People worried about Model 3’s spartan design, revealed in 2016. And when it was finalized, people complained to CEO Elon Musk. He tweeted “you won’t care.” Now he’s got a world’s best selling car to prove his point.
