Deep dives
Pre-ordering the Vision Pro
I plan to pre-order the Vision Pro by waking up at 7 a.m. and using a face ID equipped device to scan my face and order the headset online. My interest is mainly professional, but I want to experience the product for myself.
Using a VPN and Secondary Apple ID
I have set up a system using a VPN and a secondary Apple ID belonging to someone else to order the Vision Pro. I will log into the Apple Store app with the VPN and Apple ID and place the order, making sure to upload a valid prescription for the prescription lenses.
Overnight Shipping and Customs
Once John receives the Vision Pro, he will overnight it to me. I will pay for expensive shipping and taxes for Italian customs. I hope the delivery is successful and I can enjoy the Vision Pro at home in Italy.
Using mods to enhance the iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard
In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss their experiences with modifying the iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. One of the modifications includes using a Paperlike screen protector to reduce reflections and smudges while working outdoors. They also talk about attaching magnetic mounting clips to the Magic Keyboard to hold an iPhone next to the iPad Pro, creating a multi-screen setup. Another unusual modification involves using additional mounting clips to attach small speakers to the sides of the iPad Pro, creating a stereo sound experience. The hosts share their thoughts on the stability, practicality, and aesthetics of these modifications.
