Apple is selling a $300 USB-C dongle for the Vision Pro headset
This USB-C dongle lets you connect the Vision Pro headset via USB-C to a Mac, which will come in handy when creating graphics-intensive vision apps and games.
Additionally, this USB-C dongle is technically a whole right speaker module as it features individually amplified dual-driver audio mods, thus justifying its 300$ price point
it’s only available to developers with a paid account, and Apple will use these to do diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Apple’s 3500$ Vision Pro lacks Find My Location tracking
Tim Cook in an interview justified the Vision Pro's $3,500 pricing by claiming it as ‘tomorrow’s technology today’ LOL
However, it lacks a pretty basic Apple feature — "Find My Location Tracking"
Unlike other Find My-compatible Apple products, turning it ON with a Vision Pro will NOT enable tracking or the other services for missing or stolen devices like playing a sound, Lost Mode, or remote wipes.
So, If you lose your $3,500 Apple Vision Pro, you won’t be able to track it

The World's First kernel exploit for Vision Pro Headset
Someone managed to manage to find out a kernel exploit of the Vision Pro on the launch day itself, leading to a kernel crash
However, when the Vision Pro gets this total system crash, the camera pass-through keeps working!
If it’s extreme, it will prompt that you have 30 seconds before it goes dark
Pretty impressive move by offering 30sec timeout warning even after kernel crash!
Good Job Apple.

Summary of changes announced by Apple for EU users
Apple has announced changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store, impacting developers’ apps in the European Union (EU) to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
These changes create new options for developers, including how they can distribute apps on iOS, process payments, use web browser engines in iOS apps, request interoperability with iPhone and iOS hardware and software features, access data and analytics about their apps, and transfer App Store user data.
Since a lot of changes have been announced, it is not possible to summarize them in a single post.
Thus an article by Fonearena has outlined the announced changes in a brief.
Check it out to learn about the unique privileges EU Apple users will get which are not available globally.

Apple unveils changes to iOS, Safari, and App Store for EU’s Digital Markets Act

Apple is COPING!
Apple announced changes to the App Store wherein Apple is introducing “alternative app marketplaces” or 3rd-Party App Store on iPhones.
However, the wording in Apple’s announcement indicates that Apple is coping
“Apple is introducing new safeguards that reduce — but don’t eliminate — new risks the DMA poses to EU users”
“The new options for processing payments and downloading apps on iOS open new avenues for malware, fraud and scams, illicit and harmful content, and other privacy and security threats.”
“the unavoidable increased privacy and security threats this regulation brings”
“a less intuitive user experience”
“the new options for developers’ EU apps create new risks to Apple users and their devices”
“may negatively affect the user experience, including impacts to system performance and battery life”
“more opportunities for bad actors to steal sensitive financial information”

Apple is so anti-consumer Company
EU successfully forced Apple to allow users to set 3rd-party web browsers as their default ones on iOS, which was previously limited to Apple's Safari browser only
However, since Apple is an anti-consumer company and is just unwillingly complying with EU DMA laws, it notes that EU users will be "confronted" with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them.
By using the word "confronted", it becomes evident how annoyed is Apple by the EU laws because it was forced to offer "choice" to its users now XD

Apple’s 3rd-party app store announcements guarantee the company will end up in court
Apple is allowing a 3rd-party app store on iPhones instead of sideloading to comply with EU DMA laws
But, Apple requires that anyone wanting to make its own App Store on iOS must provide a 1 Million Euro ($1.09 Million) letter of credit
So, FOSS App stores are NOT allowed on iOS since they do not have a Million-Euro business
But remember that Apple is a greedy company!
Thus, Apple is even asking €0.50 (55c) per app install annual fee from app developers of 3rd-party app stores if their app crosses 1 Million downloads
This means that for 8M app installs, developers need to pay $310k monthly OR $3.7 MILLION per year as a FEE to Apple
So if you offer a free app that goes viral, you could be filing for bankruptcy rather than celebrating.
EU has warned Apple that if 3rd-party companies do NOT like the proposal, EU will take an action
