He has some interesting points. And to be fair, it does seem to have a pretty high quality build that might justify the cost. However, I hate Apple's closed ecosystem and anti-consumer stance, and this won't be any different.
Nope. VR has been "about to take over" for 40 years, the tech has been horrible for 40 years, nobody wants it. Even gamers, supposedly the best audience, don't want it.
I think skepticism is very fair. I think this will either be a bust, or a real success. I think Apple’s put too many resources in it to let it die quickly. If it does become a success, I think it’s going to take time to find its audience.
So is this AR or VR? It seems like once again, Apple has "invented" something that has already been around for years. 🙄
Microsoft came out with the HoloLens like 8 or 9 years ago. But Microsoft is run by the smartest bunch of morons in the world. They couldn't sell water to a man dying of thirst.
More AR than VR, but both to some degree. The most apt non-Apple term would be “mixed realty.” Apple rarely claims to have “invented” a product category. What they’re saying is, “Here’s a great new product that we think you’ll love, and here’s why.”
Ha! Thats ok! I used to try to get people to like the things I like. But eventually I realized that I don’t have that power. All I can do is tell them why I like what I like and ask them why they like what they like. :-)
I have no expertise beyond being just a bog-standard Apple consumer - but I’m just wondering what the chances are that a product that LOOKS so silly could ever take off? Apple are know for their aesthetics, right? Having said that, I guess the model for getting huge numbers of people to wear silly looking masks has been well proven recently - so maybe I’m wrong.
This is an interesting take on the Vision Pro.

This needs a bullet point pres for busy people without half an hour to waste.

Thanks for the insight. And I agree that Apple doesn't usually claim to have invented products...they let their ignorant fans do it for them.
Ignore my saltiness. I'm sure it's a great product. I just have an unreasonable dislike for Apple. Lol

Well said. Cheers!
Thanks, Matt! I’m a fellow Volkswagen driver as well. I had a Golf for many years and now drive a Passat.
We’ll never know what these companies could have done with the years affected by COVID. One of the many tragedies of the last few years!
