After many years and countless products, I was curious, excited, and fascinated by everything software and hardware-related, from macOS X to all the iMacs, to the metal constructions of all the MacBooks, the iPods, the iPads, the advent of the iPhone and its various versions. But this thing here, the Apple vision, evokes no feeling in me other than boredom and apathy.
And yet in the last 4 years, the only comments you've made on MacRumors are in response to the Apple Vision Pro. ;)
 
There is a big difference between transferring power or data via a cable.
Really? Thanks for that. You could use fiber.

Come to think about this, tethering this would serve a dual purpose: to keep it from falling off and breaking, like regular glasses. Forked from behind, they slip, or you want to park it, it's secured. Also, a rear tether might even stabilize a slight weight issue, offsetting it.

Thinking about a heavy thing on my head gives me a headache already.

I think I’m gonna end up buying and returning. I want to try it but it’s just not there yet, at least for me.



Insane lol. If $100 of your purchase price went to raw storage, it would come with 2TB.

Half of the storage as the higher-end Quest 3, for more than 5x the price.

You guys crying already?

I disagree.

What do you gain by waiting years? Save some money??

You might be an expert in not spending your money.

If you cannot afford it - that’s understandable.

Maybe not fourth, but I never ever buy first gen...I'm an anti early-adopter, and always wait at least a few months after any product is released to the public. I gain a more mature product, and less quirks.

Money isn't an issue or even a concern.. I just don't like trying out new things until everyone else has found the bugs and problems.. Being there on day one doesn't do anything for me.
 
What price cut? They went from demanding full "unlocked-like" price up front to an AT&T subsidy model. It appeared to be hundreds of dollars cheaper... and eventually even achieving "free*" but every buyer of a free-to-few-hundred dollar iPhone paid full price too... just spread over time. And with AT&T behind it, many paid "and then some."

$200 price drop just over 2 months after launch. No contract requirement.

And then people complained and Apple sent early adopters $100 in credit.
 
My thoughts exactly. There was a company that released a concept like this recently, remember LTT being extremely positive about it.

Having a super lightweight headset is just infinitely more comfortable. You can have the greatest product, but if for most people it becomes uncomfortable using it more than 1 hour, it's simply a flawed concept from the start.

Big Screen

Yawn.. That's the least interesting part of this.

I can buy big screens all day long, and others can use them at the same time I do (I almost always watch tv/movies with others)...and I can plug HDMI devices into them, Switch, Blu-Ray, I can watch broadcast sports...the list goes on.

As for computer screens, my 27" is pushing the limits of what I like. it's too tall... We don't use Macs at work.
 
I find it hard to understand why the Vision Pro comes with an M2 Chip, instead of an M3. M3 was already launched in 2023, consumes less power, and has much more GPU performance, something critical in a VR/AR product. Is Apple not interested in the success of the Vision Pro or there are technical limitations?

It shows this was planned years ago and even Apple can't/won't pivot relating to their manufacturing plans. M2 chips may be cheaper to produce at this point as well.

No, Big Screen is the company that makes super customized VR headsets that are lightweight.
 
What's special about Zeiss? I've never had any trouble with plain ordinary generic CR39 eyeglasses from eyebuydirect. They are awesome optically. No chromatic aberration, distortion or other issues.
That may be true, but you are not comparing like products. Zeiss lenses cost more (you may not think they matter, many others do).
Paying extra for Zeiss lenses is like paying extra for Louis Vuitton. It's just the brand name and nothing more.
I do not spend much time looking at consumer glasses, but I know that in the Cinema space, there is a real difference between Zeiss glass and low end Chinese knock offs. That is why people still buy Zeiss Supremes rather than only DZO Film Pictors (and I love my Pictors).
 
Agreed. I mentioned in another thread that an event is something that really could have swayed people who are sitting on the fence about this. Not giving a demonstration to show people why they SHOULD get this (or at least want to) is a missed opportunity...

That aside, I would've expected an event simply because it's a new product line for Apple 😂
They probably don't have a killer use case for it -- they need us devs to find that for them. Great for manufacturing but for consumer? What you gonna do with it other than use as a monitor and porn machine?
