A huge hat-tip to MacRumors for the ton of work their staff put in with respect to reporting the news, stories, videos, tips, How To explainers, launches, etc on Apple Vision Pro!

Outstanding coverage over the last few weeks! For some, the sheer volume of very useful information hasn't gone unnoticed. Thank you!

What are they supposed to do, hide the User Guid and say "figure out this thing your own damn self"?

Apple used to pride themselves on making devices that were so intuitive that you didn’t really need a manual.

There are always manuals for devices, there is even an app “Tips” telling you how to use the newest features. lol

And I remember a time when everything we needed to know about iPhoneOS was demonstrated at the keynote, but time and progress march on, and things become too complicated to explain on one page.

You missed his point -- the designs (hardware and software) used be so intuitive that one didn't need a manual or a "Tips App"
Original Mac 128k shipped with one. I still have it.

And they would have manuals today if it wasn't easier for people to check the online versions which do exist.
