Sure, they'll just do a credit check and verify your income to make sure you can afford for one. You’ll need to sign an NDA, of course, and put down a deposit. But other than that you’re good to go. 🤪

as someone expecting to use thing thing for workouts as well I'm kinda disturbed by the amount of fabric on it. the band that came with my quest too got pretty nasty before I replaced it with a nonporous one lol
I might just die inside if I see this product show up on Jerry rig everything test video
With demo lenses? They may not be able to have every combination of power and astigmatism, but I'm sure they'll have dozens of different options. And they could probably get away with having some lenses in just 0.5 power increments instead of having every 0.25 increment. There will be some wiggle room as the Vision Pro is fixed focus.
It’s Apple’s magical way of saying a small number without saying a small number.
Apple should be demoing this thing now, not February. In advance just like they did with Apple Watch. I get they have had almost daily demos in their labs (there’s one in Battersea, London for example) but these have been for developers and journalists only. It’s like they have forgotten the actual consumer in all of this.
The sad thing is I already use a dongle like this on my Steam Deck since the USB-C port is on the top
The funny / sad thing is I find no mention of an actual USB C port on the AVP. It must be the portless device people have been predicting for years. It is MagSafe power driven. The charge port is on the battery. You can tell the nay sayers aren’t really paying attention or they would be all over this. I can’t wait for them to figure out it’s only 8 gb RAM lol. Apple is marketing this in total absence of specs (except M2 with 256 Gb storage). This is the ultimate iOS device.
Should be interesting.
Or just try before you buy regardless. Your life isn’t going to end because you’re not a day-1 adopter.
I can’t wait to see people in the airport or airplane wearing these; Got to love those early adopters.
I hope they do something like this - very few glasses wearers are going to drop $100 on the inserts (and wait weeks to receive them) just to demo it. I am wondering if near-sighted people such as myself wouldn't need them, though.
I am planning to evaluate the headset for simulation applications for my work, but I'll have to wait to until there's some concrete info about how they're handling prescription lenses.
Yes, you will. The focus distance for these devices is typically in the 1 to 2 meter range.
lol I got the email. I was wondering if everyone got it but they said “select” to make sound exclusive
Did anyone suggest that anyone’s life was going to end?
Did I even suggest I wanted to buy this thing at all? I merely said they should be letting the public try this thing out now to create early buzz and word of mouth.
Only affordable for someone with a Tim Cook salary and a US Green Card. The rest of the world can get stuffed!
