Yes, because they didn't have to buy all that furniture and have a ton of money saved up.
A decent living room set could go for over $3000. Add lamps, picture frames and other accessories, etc.
A decent queen size mattress could go for over $1000, and a sleep by number would cost a lot more than an AVP.
$3500 today is not equivalent to $3500 5 years ago.
That just sounds very weird like he is a Borg queen or Davros to the Daleks
If I pull my iPad that close it looks like a blurry mess lol
The goggles get in the way in missionary.
I have an on and off relationship with my AVP. I like using it and it's pretty comfortable for me. I just dont find enough uses for it. Mac display is great, entertainment is good, I really enjoy Juno for YouTube, but I really want a table tennis app, virtual pickleball would be great too. I just want it to do more, especially more gaming/movement type apps. I know hand tracking is difficult but it can't be that hard to track your hand for playing ping pong.
We are Apple. Open your wallet and surrender your earnings. All your financial distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

I would imagine in a few years Apple will innovate with hand controllers for gaming. Or maybe third parties will come up with solution that are better than hand tracking.
You can't even catch this guy on small things. You'll ask him
Which Apple Watch finish do you like most?
"I love all of them. I wear the aluminium Apple Watch sometimes and sometimes the stainless steel one, then the titanium Apple Watch ultra".
Which case size do you prefer?
"At Apple, cases are very important to us, it's one of our core values, they're all so great I couldn't choose one over the other"
Which color do you like most?
"Our Apple Watches come in lots of beautiful rich colors and I love all of them"
Surely you must have a preference?
"No"

The fearless leader. He'll know the good and bad using the device and provide feedback to teams working on Vision Pro.
Where does he use it? Only in the office or at home? Does he test the portability and slipping it on out-and-about somewhere?

Starting with the iPod, all Jobs had to do was announce new hardware and it sold it self. Goes to show you how far Apple is from still finding a proper replacement.
Right?? This is so bizarre. Even leaving aside all the ethical issues of talking to the Sun; as if Sun readers are the target demographic for the Vision Pro in the first place?!
I think the escape hatch for screen mirroring a Mac speaks volumes about how this product is viewed internally. Consumption device first, use your Mac for productivity. It’s a tacit admission this device is not where it needs to be to get real work done. It was released way too early perhaps because the company got spooked by the car project flop. But if it can’t stand on its own like even the iPad did out of the gate, it’s expensive and fairly unnecessary accessory device to the Mac. I dare say even the watch is more standalone despite being tethered to a phone. It’s sad really, the tech is amazing. But if people will only watch a movie or play with their Mac through it they missed the mark. Had it confidently shipped without a Mac escape hatch because it had all the in-built tools for productivity and file management that would be another thing entirely. It’s not successful and Apple has to hedge their bet on the offering. I feel for anyone that bought this thinking it would be a great display for their Mac- it does not excel at this task either. We’ve got a dozen to play with and apart from the first month they collect dust unless someone takes one home to watch a movie. The internal dev team is frustrated by the myriad limitations that basically mean you can’t make a world-class enterprise app experience because the dev tools aren’t mature. I don’t know what Apple is expecting here honestly. I’m sad it’s not selling well but I’m not surprised either. But if watching movies alone is your thing this is the most expensive and impressive way to accomplish that task- and it excels fairly well. I do get annoyed that our group had nicknamed our herd of AVPs the Apple Movie Corner (AMC get it, like the theater 🙄). It’s cool but a dud. And Apple fumbled the ball releasing content, the one thing this device excels at. Big yikes. All the Tim-platitudes and anecdotes in the world won’t spin it any other way.
It’s funny how he says he uses the giant screen feature when he’s one of the few people who could just have that for real in his homes.
Tearing up from using a VR headset is insane. I like fancy tech toys as much as anyone, but if that’s your barrier for shedding tears then I assume you cry over just about anything, like a good cup of coffee or a well-sharpened pencil.
Right?
If I were turbo loaded, I'd just have a full blown home movie theater
I sure wouldn't strap myself into a VR headset for the huge screen experience when I could have a real huge screen and sound system, etc
For me, It cannot beat a good 4k tv with a cinema sound system.
Also it doesn’t work with consoles
One thing I like about Vision OS is that if you have a content window sized how you like it, and then you push it farther away, it covers the same part of your field of view. That means it becomes a larger window farther away. It's more comfortable to watch a movie on a 100 foot screen that's 25 feet away (in virtual space) than it is to watch the same movie on a two-foot screen that's closer to your face so it takes up the same part of your FOV.
Reading a web page that's 25 feed away is not comfortable even if you scale up the window so it looks 100 feet in size. I've tried using a 4K projection screen as a monitor, so I think this is true in the real world as well as in Vision Pro's virtual world.
I don't think the 100 foot screen thing is overhyped. I think it's not yet fully appreciated. With Vision Pro (or other VR system), you can have the 100 foot screen in the distance, and a smaller screen near you for working, and a virtual environment that's at practically infinite distance all at the same time.
