☆ Apple is still waiting for a killer app for the Apple Vision Pro. It may have to wait for some time.

Apple first showed off the Apple Vision Pro in June 2023, hoping developers would build awesome apps for it when it went on sale in January. Specifically: Where are the apps for the Apple Vision Pro, the $3,500 headset Apple introduced earlier this year? This is a question we've asked repeatedly, and the answer seems to be pretty consistent: Developers aren't leaping to build anything for Apple Vision Pro because they don't think many people are using Apple Vision Pro. But if developers don't build for the Apple Vision Pro, then there's never going to be any reason for people to buy an Apple Vision Pro. Overall, there are about 1,770 apps for the Vision Pro in Apple's App Store , according to Appfigures' count.

Sam Altman has taken a more prominent role at OpenAI as several top leaders have left the company. Altman risks spreading himself too thin, three management experts told BI. Now, as Altman leads OpenAI toward a possible for-profit future, some corporate management experts warn that the CEO could stretch himself too thin — taking on too many job functions. Altman and a spokesperson for OpenAI didn't respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

Opinion Guest Essay The 21 Slivers of America That Could Decide the Election Sebastian Siadecki for The New York TimesIn almost every presidential battleground state, polling suggests something close to a dead heat between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. For Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump, each could be a crucial building block in a winning swing-state coalition. In 2016, with Mr. Trump in the race, these areas began to march to national trends: Rural areas trended Republican, while Milwaukee’s well-off, close-in suburbs zoomed left. Still, loyalties remain potent in Wisconsin, from Democratic-leaning, ancestrally Scandinavian voters in the state’s rural west to middle-class suburban Republicans outside Milwaukee. Mr. Trump lost Nash County by just 0.2 points in 2020 and Wilson County by three points.
