Ioniq 6 named EV of the year
Hyundai's Ioniq 6, the brand's latest electric vehicle, is making waves in the automotive industry. After its successful preview at the 2023 Manila International Auto Show, the all-electric midsize sedan is now open for reservation in the Philippines. The Ioniq 6 recently earned the coveted Car and Driver’s EV of the Year Award, an accolade that further underscores Hyundai's position as a global leader in the EV market. This award marks the second consecutive year that Hyundai has triumphed in this category, with its Ioniq 5 model taking home the trophy in 2022. To secure the award, the vehicles were subjected to a grueling three-week test, wherein the Ioniq 6 outperformed 13 top-rated competitors, seizing the No. 1 spot. Car and Driver's assessment criteria encompass four key areas: value, mission fulfillment, technological advancement, and driving pleasure. Tony Quiroga, editor-in-chief at Car and Driver, commended the IONIQ 6 for its power and range, stating, “The Ioniq 6 lineup has available power and range that puts Tesla on notice. An 800-volt architecture reduces DC-charging times, but best of all, the Ioniq 6 is a car that we love to drive.” The availability of the Ioniq 6 in the Philippines is a significant development for the local EV market. According to Hyundai Motor Philippines, Inc., the vehicle is priced at P3,798,000, and reservations can be made at certified Hyundai EV dealers in Alabang, Commonwealth, Makati, Pampanga, and Pasig. The Ioniq 6 is being offered in a solitary GLS 2WD Long Range variant, available in eight striking colors, including Abyss Black Pearl, Serenity White Pearl and Ultimate Red Metallic, among others. With the Ioniq 6, Hyundai delivers a distinctive blend of technology, performance, and design. Inside the vehicle, a unified screen panel consisting of a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen provides connectivity options such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth multi-connection. The safety features are robust, with the inclusion of the Hyundai SmartSense, which offers advanced driving assistance systems, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, and Forward, Side, and Reverse Parking Collision-Avoid Assist. HMPH President Mr. Dong Wook Lee has emphasized the unique value proposition of the Ioniq 6, stating, "There’s really more than what meets the eye with the Hyundai Ioniq 6. It’s ‘Beyond Electric’, providing owners a more tailored and immersive driving experience". One of the standout features of the Ioniq 6 is its range of 545 kilometers, making it an attractive option for prospective EV owners. This range is backed by the car's impressive charging speed, which allows it to charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes via a DC fast charger. This rapid charge rate is enabled by the vehicle's 800-volt system. Additionally, the EV’s Virtual Engine Sound System and electric-Active Sound Design enhance the driving experience with immersive sounds. HMPH is offering a comprehensive package to customers who reserve the Ioniq 6. Each purchase comes with a five-year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty, an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty, and a free preventive maintenance service for five years or 75,000 km. The deal is sweetened with the inclusion of a free home installation of the standard 7.4 kW AC wall charger. The introduction of the Ioniq 6 expands HMPH's EV lineup in the Philippines, which also includes the Ioniq 5, an electric compact crossover. With its sleek design, advanced features, and impressive performance, the Ioniq 6 is poised to make its mark in the local market.

Apple unveils Vision Pro, its first mixed reality headset
Apple on Monday unveiled its first-ever virtual reality headset challenging Facebook-owner Meta in a market that has yet to tempt users beyond videogamers and tech geeks. The release was the most significant product launch by the iconic iPhone maker since it unveiled the Apple Watch in 2015. "Blending digital content with the real world can unlock experiences like nothing we've ever seen," said Apple CEO Tim Cook as he unveiled the Vision Pro, a sleek VR device that resembled ski goggles. The Vision Pro will cost a hefty $3,499 and be available early next year, the company said. The headgear was introduced at the close of an Apple event in Cupertino, California in which the company announced a long list of product updates. Disney partnered with Apple for the headset launch and the Mickey Mouse company teased streaming content from Marvel, Star Wars, and live sports that would be available on the device. "We're so proud to yet again be partnering the greatest storytelling company in the world with the most innovative technology company in the world to bring you real-life magic," said Disney CEO Bob Iger. The Vision Pro would require a lot of computing power and run mainly by being plugged into the wall, with a battery only able to keep the goggles working for two hours. Apple did not deny the gaming audience and said that over 100 Apple Arcade games would be available from the day of release. The device would also put a projection of a user's eyes on an external screen in order to ease interactions with others. The headset has been in development at Apple for years and will focus on gaming, streaming video, and conferencing, as well as health and fitness. "It would be drastic to say that Apple Vision Pro will replace a computer or cellphone in the immediate future," said Rolf Illenberger, founder, and CEO of VRdirect, a software company for virtual reality devices. "But that day will happen soon, most likely starting with those who enjoy having a second or third monitor at their workstations," he added. Collision course The release puts Apple on a collision course with Facebook owner Meta, which had taken a head start on doubling down on virtual worlds, sometimes referred to as the metaverse. Just days before Apple's event, Meta ramped up its line of Quest virtual reality headgear. A new-generation Quest 3 with improved performance and slimmed design will be available later this year at a starting price of $500, Zuckerberg said. The Facebook founder described the coming model as Meta's "most powerful headset yet" and promised it would provide the best wireless way to experience virtual reality. Zuckerberg has been adamant that Meta remains devoted to building a future in which internet life plays out in the metaverse. But Meta's experience with the metaverse has been humbling despite it being a leader in the emergent sector and many questioned whether Apple would in the end jump in. And less than two years after changing its name to Meta to reflect a metaverse priority, the Facebook giant has fired tens of thousands of staff and promised to get back to its social media basics. Apple also unveiled a new 15-inch MacBook Air, offering a large screen to users who are less interested in powerful computing needs. The company also updated its iPhone operating system, with updates that in many cases played catchup with features that exist on Android phones or WhatsApp. The post Apple unveils Vision Pro, its first mixed reality headset appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
