I would get contacts if I were to get an AVP simply because otherwise I’ll need new Zeiss inserts next year since my eyes will be worse.
Precisely the problem. I am a iphone/ipad/aw ultra/MacBook Pro nerd but this goes too far beyond my pension budget LOL
Imagine somewhere at Apple, a “100’ screen” filling with faces of people scanning for their headsets. Maybe something like those late 60s/early 70s Oldsmobile commercials with all the headshots at the end.
The big question I have as a nearsighted person I do not need my bifocals (they were for reading geological maps and such I can sit here on ipad and almost see as well without glasses as with. Wonder if the readers would be enough to save a little of course if I had $3500 the cost difference not consequental LOL
Damn, I was going to get one for my Dog... He will be so disappointed.
Wow I was literally going to post the same thing minus fertility index and heart rate. I assumed Apple knew those already. Also that emoji perfectly describes this situation. Lol
At this rate 2030 is when they will release version 2 lol. Wait until 2040 for version 5.
No like the M2 to M3 they will release version two this fall ;-)
Sounds like me. Also not getting one, but my prescription has gotten so weak with age that I can do most things without any distance correction or magnification, but not everything.
$3,500 is Ultra expensive for a high end computer?
yes, it contains a computer, you can consider it one perhaps, but its a very expensive display device... and has a limited market.
No, it is an incredibly versatile standalone computer, and is mid-priced at that. Multi monitor capability is a feature as is Mac virtual connection.
This could be one of the most successful products Apple has ever produced. It is, however, extremely complicated, at every level. Everything at every step in the experience has to be perfect for it to succeed. Unfortunately the complexity of each step may conspire against it. It has the potential to be a true gamechanger, but it may be doomed by having so many 'moving parts'. The custom optical inserts requirement alone will cause many potential users to decide not to buy. 90% of people over 40 need some kind of glasses, so that means mostly younger people with uncorrected vision will be the first users.
Apple today emailed customers in the U.S. with some tips for pre-ordering the Vision Pro starting next Friday, January 19 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.
First, Apple says to have an iPhone or iPad with Face ID nearby.
"When you order Apple Vision Pro, you'll need to scan your face with an iPhone or iPad with Face ID," says Apple's email. "This helps us determine the right size Light Seal and head bands, which work together to give you a precise fit."
Second, make sure your Apple Store app is updated, as the latest version released on January 11 supports Vision Pro face scanning.
Third, Apple says customers with vision correction needs will be required to upload a valid, unexpired prescription from a U.S. eye‑care professional after checkout.
"Because Apple Vision Pro is designed to be worn without glasses, we've partnered with ZEISS to create custom optical inserts that accommodate most prescriptions," says Apple, with fine print noting that not all prescriptions are supported. "When you order, we'll ask a few quick questions to find out if you need optical inserts. If you do, you'll upload a valid, unexpired prescription from a U.S. eye‑care professional after checkout."
You can add and store your vision prescription in the Health app on the iPhone.
Following pre-orders, the Vision Pro will launch in the U.S. on Friday, February 2. Starting at 8 a.m. local time that day, customers are invited to sign up for a demo of the headset at their local Apple Store, with slots to be available through the weekend on a first-come, first-served basis, according to Apple's email.
Vision Pro starts at $3,499 in the U.S. with 256GB of storage. For more details about the headset, read our Vision Pro roundup.
