I don’t want something on my head constantly just to use iPad Pro functions. AVP is not iPad Pro replacement, and it was not intended use case.
I don’t know if any people wants to use AVP as iPad
AppleTV, maybe. Depends on usage case.
If I want to enjoy a TV show, movies, sports etc with family, we can watch together with a flat screen TV. I don’t need to buy 6 different AVP to do so.
So this argument is also not valid.
Again. No nobody is buying AVP to replace monitors. This is just not the use case. At least, for a monitor I can hook up with different setup for different purpose. AVP does not.
Your entire argument doesn’t make any sense.
A 3 year old iPhone is at least actually useful for something
BetaMax was a better product than VHS. The problem is that the Porn industry went with VHS and that killed BetaMax.
That was in the consumer market.
In the Pro market, BetaCam continued in used for years for video production.
I didn’t say it’s use case was to be an iPad replacement. I don’t use it exclusively as an iPad. But, when I am using it as a virtual display and/or consuming streaming media, I don’t use my iPad. I could, but it is more convenient to bring up a window in AVP with the iPad app I want to run. The advantage of using the AVP instead of the iPad is that I can open several different apps and have them open in different easily viewable windows.
No. It doesn’t invalidate what I said. The AVP can replace a flat screen in some use cases. You’ve merely come up with one use case where you want a communal television — watching with family. That use case is different from having a personal and portable 120” television that you can use in the backyard, in your home office, in the garage, in a hotel while you are on a business trip, etc.
Wrong. As many people have said on this forum and others, using the AVP as a virtual monitor (especially with a laptop) is a primary motivator. It definitely was for me.
It makes sense. You simply aren’t looking beyond your personal opinions. Other people have different requirements, needs, preferences, and financial resources.

Time to pull the plug on this patient.

Are you telling me Aipords pro are made for Pro only? You realize the Pro word is just marketing right?
I mean apple could even sell a “pro” cable at this point and people would think it si designed for prosumer.
They released a gorgeous product that nobody askled, they slapped a pro tag on it and still no one want it,not because it is expensive, not because iti si made for pro users, but because there is no need for it.
No killer app s(biggest mistake not getting devs in) lame battery life and no killer feature.
it’s cool, it’s advanced, but that alone is not enough, and calling it pro is not making things better.
I’d love to make a “flop” like that, as 500.000 Unit at 3500 dollars is a lot of money, that said, as a reduction it’s a failure, it is making money but still a failing device.

Pro Air Pods are restricted and can only be sold to doctors, dentists, lawyers and former astronauts. Please see the standard ones if you are a part of the proletariat.
I 100% agree here. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to buy one and spend that much money, but I use it primarily for work. It has been amazing so far. I can sit in front of a relaxing lake and have multiple screens around me, including my Mac screen. I have become far more productive. I also use it for entertainment purposes, but primarily I use this for work. I had it in my head that I would potentially return it if I didn’t see value, but I’m definitely keeping it!
Airdrop and continuity will keep me in the Apple ecosystem forever. How has any other computer manufacturer caught up to apple with that? No one is even close
Well that all seems pretty obvious, and is normal, which is the main reason the term “early adopter” was originally coined; for people that put up with V1 issues and prices, not for some person installing the 18th version of an OS on day one.
The real question is why some people seem to be
The Apple I is rare today because it didn’t appeal to everyone, but there seem to be quite a few people that buy Apple products now, so I’m glad they didn’t stop at V1.
I’ve got a Rift DK1 and a Quest 3. The Rift was quite lame in comparison to the Quest, so I guess you should be happy there wasn’t a forum of rabid users calling for Oculus to stop trying. I know I am.
Betamax was actually very successful, but VHS was even more so.
How dare some people state that they think the VPro is a lame duck, with little developer interest, and that it was DOA.
Macbook "Pro" is fabulous by the way. I use mine daily despite not being a rocket scientist. I'm so glad I don't have to strap it to my face.

Trucks are so useful for - well - truck duties - why would anyone half hearted clever use them for jet duties?
On the other hand side planes are hardly useful in narrow mountain roads - yet they can carry many truck loads in one go over huge distances in little time.
See the difference?
There are tasks where a MacBook excels and there are tasks where a head mounted device excels. Ask a F35 pilot to use MacBook at dog fighting 🤣
I have no problem with someone stating their opinion, but it does get tiring to hear some repeating themselves constantly. It just seems far more strange for someone to keep saying "hey, remember how much I don't like that?" than for someone to evangelize when they are a fan of something.
If someone doesn't like something, it seems a really sad way for them to waste their lives, constantly telling people how much they dislike it, rather than just moving on to something they do like and enjoying their time with that.
Like I say, the Macbok Pro is fabulous! As always with C projects and rendering it would be nice if it was a bit faster. Will try the M4 soon.
So many wasted lives. It is tragic. Thankfully there are people with bricks strapped to their faces pretending they are sat by a lake amongst the mountains when they could actually be there.
But seriously, you really shouldn't let it affect you so much. Different views are what makes it interesting.
I agree, being there is so much better, but the IT infrastructure sucks lakeside.
You should try working on the beach in Bali. You’d be surprised at how much lower your blood pressure can be even while being vexed by trying to tackle a tough problem. The AVP is a great way to do it when your employer won’t subsidize daily instantaneous trips half-way around the world. If your health and the boost in productivity isn’t worth $3500 to you, then you need a better paying job.
