Macworld On the heels of the unveiling of the Vision Pro headset, it has emerged that Apple has acquired Los Angeles-based Mira, which makes AR headsets for the Mario Kart ride at Universal Studios Hollywood as well as the U.S. military, according to Mira and Apple.  It’s unclear when the purchase was made or if any of the technology is used in the Apple Vision Pro headset unveiled at WWDC this week. The price of the acquisition wasn’t disclosed and Apple issues its standard statement about the company: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.” The Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge ride at Universal Studios uses “cutting-edge technology” to…

Apple’s latest iPad Air might not be as cheap as the newer entry-level model, but it’s still a better value. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference may be right around the corner, but we’re not expecting to see a ton of news on the tablet front outside of the next iteration of iPadOS. That means now is as good a time as any to pick up Apple’s latest iPad Air, which is currently matching its all-time low of $499.99 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy in the 64GB / Wi-Fi configuration.
