And I did. Trust me, I did. My wallet was emptied frequently when I was cheering on the Crazy Ones… Showing off my new Apple and Mac stuff. I was wall to wall Apple. God, if Apple made bed sheets I'd probably have been sleeping in them.
I can't think of an Apple product said blonde female member of Apple's marketing department didn't consider earth shatteringly revolutionary. If Apple ever goes back to real keynotes over the pre-recorded, canned BS they should consider using this particular employee to fill the role Steve Jobs once held in those events... Her reality is about as distorted as his was.
Steve Jobs hand-picked four reviewers for the original iPhone and that did ok.
Correct. But Apple seems to be positioning it as a new way of computing, not as a competitor to existing VR headsets.
Companies create a marketing strategy to portray their new products in the most positive light. What a bizarre thing to be upset about! Your complaint definitely falls into the realm of a First World Problem; this one may even be a Zeroth World Problem.
Perhaps you would benefit from a list of useful things to complain about...
You still miss the point. It is highly likely that few (if anyone) in this thread has ever attempted to create a computer/cell phone/spatial computing device to sell at scale. Therefore, whether it's iterative iPhone designs or potentially ground breaking new categories of devices, who are we to throw stones at those trying something we lack the knowledge, resources and courage to attempt ourselves?
Because it's a new product category for Apple and the rest of the industry if you take into account all of these features in a single device. Most developers don't understand Apple's vision enough to ask the right questions, much less Youtube influencers and the general consumer. Apple cannot rely on their usual presentations and narratives here because it requires every curious customer to wear the device for a prolonged time in order to experience it. If reviewers aren't doing that, they will only ask irrelevant or softball questions. So while Apple is doing themselves a favor by orchestrating these initial reviews, you could also argue that Apple is doing us all a favor.
The hate it got was because Apple made it essentially useless for SPOKEN WORD audio.
That shill is going to shill the hardest it has ever shulled in
Literally nobody anywhere had that reaction to the iPod. It took all of 3 brain cells to understand the advantage of Walkman + Case full of CDs vs. cell phone sized pocketable device. Hence why it was immensely successful.
Pray tell, what is Apple's vision for Vision Pro? Because as far as I can tell there isn't one. It's an iPad, for your face, that costs $3,500. Apple has not told us a single reason for its existence, other than that spatial computing is supposedly good, and the ridiculous hardware you have to wear, the limitations it imposes, and the price, are all worth it.
Yes, it will. It's sad that you are unable to recognize the difference between this and other products.
LMAO oh no, not people here, the metric of the world!
You probably shouldn't even try it then but thousands of Apple engineers have been developing the hardware for the past 5-7 years so it's not like they're just throwing stuff against the wall. The software always follows the hardware and they've barely revealed their own software yet so most analysis and predictions of Vision Pro are premature.
