In the middle of this year, Apple released the most blockbuster product in the past ten years at the WWDC conference-
「Apple Vision Pro」
Virtual interfaces, operating out of thin air... It's like putting a scene that can only be seen in a science fiction movie in front of your eyes.
But even Brother Ji and I have been preparing for the first rush of Money for a long time, and in the face of its distant release date, I am still a little bit more than enough.
However, Brother Ji wanted to say but roared.
Although the sword indicates the release date next year, it is a little unattainable.
But one of the most core functions of Vision Pro, we can use it directly now.
Just two days ago, Apple officially launched the iOS 17.2 RC version update, which is also the most anticipated feature before Brother Ji-
"Spatial Video"
Sharp-eyed friends may have discovered that what Brother Ji said was "the most anticipated before".
Why.
Because, after the joyful Brother Ji actually experienced this function, his heart was somewhat uneasy... Of course, that's all for later.
When your iPhone 15 Pro series is updated to the latest iOS 17.2 version, open "Settings" - "Camera" - "Format".
You can see this, Apple's freshly baked "Apple Vision Pro Spatial Video" button.
Turn on this feature and go back to the Camera app.
When recording a video, you can see the lower right corner of the screen, and there will be an icon that looks like Vision Pro glasses compared to before.
（上：未开启 | 下：已开启）
Once it's lit, you'll be able to start recording "extremely advanced" "spatial videos"~
It's just that before that, Brother Ji advises you to wait for the "space video" that will be shot later, and don't expect too much for now.
Because it's not only when it's recorded, it's no different from a normal video.
Even when it's played, it's not like a so-called "spatial video" should be...
What about space?
What about stereoscopic?
What about 3D?
What about Tifa?
Okay, okay, Cook, you play with me, right?
And that's not all!
Since the computing power of the iPhone is not enough to support high-bitrate "spatial video" shooting, even if it is as strong as the A17 Pro, it can only live in the form of 1080P+30 frames.
So after filming and comparing it, I can't fix Brother Ji directly.
On the contrary, the extremely advanced "spatial video" not only does not give people a dazzling rush, but is even more "stuck" than ordinary ordinary videos.
Who do I talk to about this ™?
Oh no, Brother Ji, who had calmed down his mentality, suddenly thought that it seemed a bit unreasonable to experience the "spatial audio" of dual vision with an iPhone with only single vision.
I'm sorry Brother Guozi, I just spoke too loudly.
But that's what I said.
But nowadays, the Vision Pro, which can best reflect the true strength of "spatial video", is still lying in Apple's base camp, it can't, it shouldn't, Brother Ji, I'm going to Apple's headquarters now to prostitute a piece back...
诶,白嫖?
Say it's too late, then it's too fast.
I saw Brother Ji and I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and life was in a hurry, and I recalled the previous operation of using "Xcode" to prostitute VisionOS.
You say, in VisionOS, you should be able to experience it~
Just do it!
I saw that Brother Ji was as fierce as a tiger, and finally in the "Xcode" virtual machine, he got a glimpse of the "spatial video".
It's a pity that Mac, like iPhone, is a single-vision screen after all, and it still can't bring a true and original video experience.
However, since the camera is inside the virtual machine, the camera can be moved freely.
Coupled with Brother Ji's powerful and extraordinary brain replenishment ability, I think the final appearance of "spatial video" is likely to be a "depth of field" video that moves with the movement of the perspective.
Like it used to be -
It's a little interesting, but not much.
In short, Brother Ji is also looking forward to what it will look like on next year's Vision Pro.
The future is promising, all right.
As for the other features that are synchronized with the iOS 17.2 update, they are very ordinary.
Widget updates
If nothing else, Apple will add three new widgets to the Weather app in the iOS 17.2 release next week.
You can see the detailed information of temperature, city, precipitation, air quality, wind speed, and perceived temperature.
Abbreviated daily weather forecast for the coming days.
and the last one, a widget that shows the local sunset and sunrise times.
Compared with the previous simple and crude weather forecast, and even the operation that requires clicking into the App to see the details, this widget update is indeed intuitive and convenient.
Especially the sunrise and sunset.
For those old mages who like to shoot the sunset and blues moments, it is quite practical.
and a less important "digital clock" widget.
Customize notification ringtones
In addition, Apple has added the function of customizing notification sound effects in "Settings" - "Sound and Touch" for the first time.
Xi the ancestral "three tones", or have their own micro-operation ideas, now you can DIY to set the notification ringtone.
Some miscellaneous updates
In addition, according to the official website, after upgrading to the latest system, users holding iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 series can use the wireless charger of Qi2 protocol, which is directly on par with the latest iPhone 15.
I squeezed the toothpaste two years ago.
In addition, AirDrop, personal hotspot often go crazy problems, according to Apple's update documents, these have also been solved.
Netizens have been shouting for so long before, but now they finally admit it in disguise.
As for the most final, the daily use experience that everyone pays the most attention to.
Due to time constraints, Brother Ji can't bring you a detailed battery life test at the venue, so in this part, let the friends share the upgraded battery situation by themselves.
Brother Ji simply tested the performance changes.
In Geekbench 6 testing.
iPhone 15 Pro Max在原先iOS 17.1.2版本下,单核2842,多核7048分。
升级到iOS 17.2 RC后,单核去到了2909,多核6815。
The single-core score has improved slightly, and the multi-core score has shrunk a bit.
It's just for everyday use... It doesn't make a difference.
Including what is called, "improved iPhone 15 Pro telephoto focusing speed".
Brother Ji Kaka held the two mobile phones and took pictures for a long time, but he didn't feel any difference.
So, as for the question of whether the old iPhone is worth upgrading...
Brother Ji is still the same sentence, it depends on whether these new features are right for everyone's appetite and whether they have solved everyone's previous problems.
Otherwise, Brother Ji doesn't recommend everyone to upgrade immediately anyway.
After all, iOS is so stretched nowadays, why do you have nothing to do with it?
