Your comment is already over used and repeated by other haters. I have read it about 1000 times and it’s getting boring. Perhaps you could make a constructive comment instead.Great for the three people who own a Vision Pro.

Being spatial computing hardware, the Vision Pro solves and makes far more convenient various computing use cases more distinctly than Apple’s other products.The iPhone 1 was far more successful and almost universally lauded. The masses that couldn't afford it, still saw a real potential in it. It only took Apple an year to release an updated version that was infinitely more popular.
The iPhone solved a basic need for the masses to have a great handheld device with mobile internet access. The need was already there, Apple just found the best way to make it work.
Comparatively, Vision Pro doesn't solve any particular need. Apple can try all it wants, but no one cares about "spatial computing" besides fat nerds and technophiles glued to their desks. The masses absolutely don't care for it, and it's not even because of it's ridiculous pricing.
It’s a very personal device in which Apple makes it abundantly clear it’s not meant to be walked around with like that.If it weren't for visits to this webpage, I'd never hear about AVP. None of the tech regulars mention it much, never see an ad for. No big name celebrities are walking around with one on.
how many Bugatti commercials do you see, or lambo's etc..the target audience will always get what they want regardless of numpties online being overly critical about every little thing lolIt’s a very personal device in which Apple makes it abundantly clear it’s not meant to be walked around with like that.
Also… the target audience is not buying this merely because others have it or that certain celebrities use it.
That’s pretty nonsensical to buy a prosumer product for; that’s like asking and giving weight to who Ja Rule or Kim Kardashian think should be president: Who cares?
So I take it you haven’t tried their immersive demo amd are just making snide remarks?I'm yawning in anticipation.
💯So I take it you haven’t tried their immersive demo amd are just making snide remarks?
The immersive demo is one of the most impressive things to me. I was blown away the first time I saw it. I’m really looking forward to these new vids.
I bought a 3rd party strap add on from Annapro. My first stint tn the headset after I got it home was 10hrs.For a lot of us apple fans, it’s not about the price necessarily but the degree of uncomfortabiity and what I’d rather do more comfortably and quicker on an iPad or my laptop/desktops. I had tried the Vision Pro, fully expecting to keep what appeared to be the best tech ever, but dreaded putting it on more than 15-20 mins for anything. I really enjoyed those 15-20 mins and also tried multiple light seals at the store, but ultimately it was always something on my head weighing it down the entire time I used it. Returned it in the end and until the comfort improves, I would rather use devices that don’t need to but put on my face. At least in the meantime, I have a pair of XR glasses which at least I can watch shows/movies without too much pressure resting on my face and much more ease of use. Looking forward to see where this tech goes. I’m glad for sure for people who have this device that apple is slowly trickling out some more content.
Generally things I can’t afford, I don’t spend my time posting about terrible the products is. Because I don’t care lol.People for who it is actually “in their price range” don’t need to make posts about it being in their price range.
Waiting for the Studio to be updated is an interesting thing. They are already out with an M4-based iPad and their laptops all have M3 options. The M3 laptops are really nice. You would have expected the announcement of M3-based desktop Macs at WWDC. It makes one wonder if they will skip the M3 desktop models and go right to M4. And if they do that the only investor-acceptable reason is that refresh demand on Macs isn't high enough to support an aggressive release schedule for desktops. We don't know what numbers Apple is looking at, but we can infer something about them based on their actions.I need to replace my 2015 27inch imac and I am waiting for mac studio to get updated ... or maybe imac pro?
That's true. And that is really the main reason they are doing it. They aren't at the point where it makes sense to develop a "House of Cards" (the first investment made in significant 4k content for TV).I think it’s great that they are adding more content like this because it shows a lot of its strengths
It will come in time. We are only five months out from the introduction of the device. Apple is trying to create a new market cartegory, one different from the gamer market that most inexpensive headsets are optimized for.but what they really need is to make a version $2000 cheaper
The market will determine the killer app. It will not have been predicted by the experts. A killer app for phones right now is TikTok. No one at Apple in the early 2000s thought that one of the killer apps for a smart phone would be an endless scroll of short videos of people lip synching, mugging, dancing, repackaging random content, and trying to sell you something you neither want nor need.and have a killer app.
I'd like to see a link to that not some snippet of unattributed rumor. On release, analysts were reporting that preorders were 180k to 200k units, over twice what Apple had stocked for release day. I've seen no reliable source, actually no source whatsoever, quoting numbers like this horse hockey.
I do understand that things are different now. Tourists are everywhere. 27 years ago I was in Spain. Peaceful and not crowded at all. Last week my friend went there with his wife. They were not happy at all with the trip as it was crowded everywhere.I spent last year > $ 8 k for a three week vacation in Canada's wilderness and it was not worth ⅓ of it - with all the wildfires and tons of tourists one of my worst vacations ever - I liked the east cost a few years earlier much more.
Hopefully no money ever is laying around - it's better invested in Apple shares these days 🤣
I would rather spent 5000€ for a couple of weeks trip and be there in person than sitting on a sofa with AVP.Then return home without 5000€, with mosquito bites and some photos and souvenirs. Then wait until you can save again for another trip.
With the AVP you can continue 'traveling' places every day.
Then you can save money to go on your next safari with a 3D, 180º or 360º camera to bring amazing new memories home that you can relive everyday on your AVP.
Can’t find it in Canada either 😡No sign of any of the new content here in the UK yet.
A while back ran into some apps that had some interesting content. Don't remember their names but are free.Can’t find it in Canada either 😡
And this is the point right. Let’s go back to 2007. 6mill original iPhones sold. So 8x as many for a new class of product which was (relatively speaking) a fraction of the cost of AVP.According to reports it’s about 400,000, which is every unit Apple was projected to be able to make. So a few more than 20.

It's sad that your trip didn't go well but you were there in person, not just sitting on a couch and watching on a 100 foot screen
You are correct. I think the reason they left out “is” was to have a shorter headline. I’m not sure if there is a technical term for doing this, but it is analogous to the way that contractions work (e.g., ”they’re“ for “they are”), but for words, in that the “is” is sort of “read into it” by our brains.« Apple Launching New Apple Immersive Videos »
Question from non English speaker , I thought the correct way to say it would be « Apple launches » or « Apple is Launching » ?
