I wouldn’t think the nerds using it are big worried about their hair style?

Apple Gearing Up for Launch of Vision Pro Developer Kits

I was initially self-conscious of wearing AirPods in public as well, due to how different they looked at the time. It’s probably only a matter of time before the vision pro is deemed socially acceptable to be used in public, and probably sooner than later too.
I mean to be fair, I still chuckle at people wearing AirPods when I'm out in public. Nothing has changed there. They look as stupid as they always have, to me.
Nothing will make this thing look cool or appropriate. Ever. Newton 2.0.
Point being that in order for this to be a success Apple will have to sell millions and millions and millions of them. The fact that it messes up your hair is just one of MANY serious hurdles it will have to clear in order to achieve that goal. That’s why many of us are… skeptical about it.
For the price you pay for this I wish Apple would somehow make it compatible with our video game consoles, or at least let us connect 2D video input. Ridiculous to spend $5,500AU on VR headset only to have to buy another headset for your playstation, and another for your PC games. In 10 years time my closet will be stuffed full of various VR headsets piled up next to my plastic guitar controllers and Wii balance board.
That is probably what people said when the first cell phones were introduced. And, oh, what a surprise, they got smaller and smaller over the years. Who would have thought this could be possible?

Not really. People saw a pressing need for mobile phones. That in and of itself renders the comparison moot.
No, I’m certain it will not. ☹️
You do realize that you’ll be able to have as many monitors as you like and that it’s made to use a keyboard as well, plus unlimited battery life while it’s plugged in. Yes you can add an external Mac monitor to what you’re looking at, but why would you when you’re wearing the most advanced spacial computing device (that is the most advanced Mac) built in?

They didn't.
Seriously? Everyone had land line phones at the time, there was no compelling use for huge clunky expensive and expensive to use mobile phones. People were actually OK with being outdoors without a phone since humans started roaming the planet.
So you have to restart it to get up and go 😂
Maybe, but tech had been moving that way for years regardless with car phones and pagers/beepers and the like.
Lots of 'landline' phones were cordless and it was common for people to use pagers it was just an extension of that.
Yes, that came much later, after AT&T was broken up, you probably don’t remember party lines do you?
That was all very recent from a communications standpoint.
I got a motorola bag phone very soon after they were available, and I had an overpowered CB Radio before that -- my commute is mostly rural and I knew I *needed* it before I could get it, and it's no surprise to me everyone else agreed later on. I also have bought many many cell phones of all kinds after that!
There's no reason someone with long hair would need to tie it up to wear a Vision Pro, if anything more hair offers more cushioning. The model wears her hair like that, it's a common hairstyle for that type of hair.
