The new Blackmagic Camera for spatial video. Maybe we'll see more movies made for Apple Vision Pro now there's a Blackmagic Camera, and maybe we'll see different cameras on the iPhone 17 Slim, but we'll never see the end of Apple nonsense on TikTok. There's also the never-ending and sometimes ever-increasing set of rumors about Apple making folding devices. This time the claim is that we'll see a foldable iPad Pro, but it's definitely not coming soon and co-host Wesley Hilliard has reasons to lower our expectations of it happening at all.
What is definitely happening is that Apple Vision Pro is getting more entertainment in the form of short films and documentaries. It's also definitely happening far too slowly, though, so the launch of a dedicated spatial video camera from Blackmagic is welcome — even if it's costly enough that only studios will be able to afford it.
Then while we wait for incredibly immersive, 3D video environments in Apple Vision Pro, we can be watching six-second long portrait-only TikTok videos. Lately there's a little sub-genre of them, too, in which the absolute wackiest claims of Apple's misbehaviour are treated with the kind of absolute seriousness that only hysterical videos can sustain.
