Have you done the demo at an Apple Store? My experience was basically what Tim said. It is awe inspiring. People will buy this when the price comes down.
Got a tip for us?

All good, and you are correct. But I'm glad I had that screenshot to play with
People don't complain about the price when the product is actually useful. How many complain M3 Max is too expensive?
Vision Pro is nice toy for the first couple of days. Beyond that, there's no killer app and most users can't find a practical use for it.
I knew Tim created his own version of the real world, where everyone drives an Apple car and wears heavyweight goggles all the time.
This explains everything …
This explains everything …
He even charges his AppleCar with an AirPower mat in his 7th garage bay
“And of course, it's a 100ft screen. I mean, it's amazing the level of entertainment that it delivers.”
TIL bigger screen equals more entertainment
TIL bigger screen equals more entertainment
“And so the ability for me to get in the position that I want to get in – including lying flat and putting the screen on the ceiling”
I can't wait until they start overlaying a 100ft "Have you tried Apple Music?" AD in there..
I'm gonna step in and say he's prolly not lying. With a product this volatile and uncertain, he has to. I know CEOs don't usually have that much say on individual products but this one feels like his baby and his name is tied to it.
There is a good product in there. It won't be for everyone, but it could replace a laptop and even TV for a certain set of people. Single, no TV in the living room, maybe they have a projector, and someone that doesn't want a big ass screen on a desk to do work, or even someone without room for a dedicated desk, just a keyboard and mouse on a dinner table.
It just doesn't seem like they'll ever get the developer support they'll need by the time they get it down to 1/3 the price and half the weight.
I do know that the giant ultrawide screen mirroring is the feature Vision Pro owners are frothing at the mouth over tho. Then I could really see the advantage over a laptop + regular 27in monitor.
I know I'm rambling but also: they're being just as stubborn as they are with iPad: let these devices run Mac apps. That's all you gotta do. Let them run in an environment that requires a mouse and keyboard and we're good. I'm never gonna get iOS/visionOS ports of these little obscure photo manipulation/PNG compression/gif converting apps that are critical to my work stream. Lemme just run them anywhere. Wasn't that always the biggest advantage of being ARM/Apple Silicon everywhere!?

Man, that sounds kinda.... "sad" 😞
No room for even a desk ....But they are going to buy a $3500 headset for a monitor?
My thoughts as well. His sales pitch is basically that it is a great device for solo watching video content.
You’d have expected him to promote more use cases …
It's honestly the antithesis of what we'd normally expect from the best of Apple
I’ll bet his neck and shoulder muscles have gotten massive since Vision Pro came out.
Omg, this is an incredible news... the CEO of a company trying to convince other people to use its product.
And do you know what is funny... I'm pretty sure he hasn't paid for the device... even if he receives a lot of $$$, no...
for him it is free... ahah...
The real news should be:
"Despite being the CEO of a$$le, he doesn't want to use the two-small-monitors-on-his-face-device "
Why is he giving exclusive interviews to some skeezy tabloid? The whole piece is so weird.
It's sort of hilarious how Tim is like "I use it constantly!!!"
...and most everyone is like
...and most everyone is like
We'd see marks on his forehead and compressed hair if he really used Vision Pro "in all aspects of [his] daily life."
Tim reading the comments in 50ft font on the Vis Pro
This is true, the marks are hilariously ugly. Looks like sunburn.
Add me to the list. if I'm by myself, I would watch on the AVP rather than on a TV.
