I didn't even need to read your convulted post once you mentioned AVP being a mass market product. It's about as mass market product as the Apple car!

2025 Vision Pro Reviews: How Comfortable is Apple's Dual Knit Band?

I haven’t been on a train or a bus, but I use it all the time whenever flying. I have a travel router, a power bank and a 2 TB SSD drive filled with movies strapped together in my backpack, connect Vision Pro to it and watch a movie or two to pass time. Best entertainment device ever.
I do totally get the use cases. I’d love one for certain situations but (for me) a device at this price point just isn’t worth the limited use cases that I’d feel comfortable using it in.
As a father of two who loved our quiet house before the kids arrived I hear you. 😂
The smart glasses won't be running VisionOS. Nothing developed for the Vision Pro will carry over to the smart glasses. You'd be better off developing apps for the Apple Watch in preparation for the smart glasses launch.
I never said the AVP is a mass market product. Why dont you actually read my post before you dig yourself deeper and deeper
Based on what? META even copied the UI for their new glasses. Apple has routinely said and been rumored to be using vision OS in glasses
I did a search on “travel router” which led me to devices like this one. I know nothing about this company and am not trying to promote it, but I think it answers your question.
GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX) Portable Travel Router, Pocket Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Internet Router, Portable VPN Routers WiFi for Travel, Public Computer Routers, Business, Moblie/RV/Cruise/Plane
late AX (GL-AXT1800) is our first Wi-Fi 6 travel router that comes with IPQ6000 1.2GHz quad-core processor. With the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, you can enjoy more capacity for connected devices and faster wireless speed on the road or at home.

How has Meta copied the VisionOS UI for the Meta Ray-Ban Display? All the screenshots I've seen look more like what I'd see on a smartwatch.
Displays on smart glasses aren't big enough to support a spatial interface, and their hardware isn't powerful enough to run VisionOS-class apps. It won't have enough sensors to run a spatial interface.
The reason the Vision Pro is as big and heavy as it is is because it needs that to run VisionOS at acceptable performance and usability. (I mean, I'm sure it could be cut back some, but not enough to fit in moderately normal looking glasses)
Most routers have USB port where you can connect a hard drive or SSD to use as network storage device. You just have to enable DLNA in the router settings.
Yes, it’s a great company and makes great routers. I have their MT-3000 travel router.I did a search on “travel router” which led me to devices like this one. I know nothing about this company and am not trying to promote it, but I think it answers your question.

I agree with you that it’s not for everyone at this price point.
I have four Rugrats at home. It is great that while they are watching TV or more like taken over my TV, I can put on my Vision Pro to surf the net or watch TV or do other things while at the same time watching them.
You know the difference between hardware and software right? It won’t matter if the hardware is an AVP or smart glasses, both will need the same app development. So tell us how developing for different hardware will make it DOA? I’m trying to understand your simple thinking here.
Same. I’ve said this before, but a lot of other things that were once exciting peaked. Smartphones stopped being exciting years ago and now we have such marginal improvements the everyday person can’t tell the difference. Same with smart watches and iPads.
The Apple vision? We are at the very beginning of a new computing platform that’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. People don’t like to wait for progress to happen. They see the first version and are like “ew it’s heavy and expensive and blah blah blah” not even realizing that this is just how the progression of technology works. At some point it’s going to be half the size and half the price. We are all early adopters. This is like brick phones before the first iPhone. Innovative. Amazing. But very first gen and early to the game
I have never seen one in the wild. I have never even touched one. I know absolutely no one who owns one. Pretty crazy when you think about it considering it’s an apple product and the ‘future of computing’
Because there are almost no apps specially designed for it. Just iPad apps.
The idea of strapping a 3500 dollar iPad to your face to check Carrot Weather is beyond ridiculous.
This thing might be great for niche markets though.
I don’t know why people keep talking like Apple Vision Pro is intended to isolate you from the world. One of the fundamental design principles, as emphasized in the keynote, is that you can see others and they can see you. Yes, it’s still early days and implementation is crude - it’s a bulky device and the EyeSight feature is a bit low res - but the core idea of the AVP is to NOT to isolate, unlike the headsets that came before it. AVP killed the metaverse idea. Yet people continue to mislabel it a VR device because it has an environments feature where you can go into immersion when needed. But the default is that you can see your environment and people can see you eyes - that’s the whole point. The size and weight and realism of seeing your face will increase over time.
Hilarious attempt to reconcile malicious rumors that Apple has lost interest in Apple Vision Pro with the release of a brand new model and new OS version.
I wonder why they didn't realize themselves that the headset becomes quite uncomfortable after extended use
Owners , at least the non-dorky ones, don't usually walk in the street wearing VR headsets . They're used at home or inside architects/industrial designers offices ( in the case of the VP).
