Apple Planning to Launch Vision Pro by February

I know many said this about iPads (and Apple proved us wrong), but I don't see this taking off with the general public. Super expensive and too many hoops to jump through to get this to work properly.
It's a first gen product. It'll get refined and the price will come down.
because a device which ia largely focused on graphics and games and realism should have ray tracing
Being mocked for using the headset? Yeah that's not a problem
I've never regretted buying a first generation Apple product.
If that is a rule that you want to remember, fine, but it doesn't work for me. I mean, you and will both be waiting years for the second and third generation, but I'll have the first gen product to amuse me while I wait.
I'm gonna buy three: one for myself and another one to sell and pay for the one for me, and a third just because I have more money to burn.
This reminds me a bit about the initial launch of Apple Watch and even Apple Watch Hermes a few months later. Apple had limited supplies so they threw in extra steps such as requiring a visit to a store. But eventually it just became another product to order online for shipment. I expect the same for Apple Vision (eventually they will have a “non-Pro” version).
I can see you're prepared to throw smugness back into the goggled faces of smug Vision Pro users. You've even created a straw man to practice on, and had it say the smug things you imagine at least five smug Vision Pro users will say in the future.
I love me some mockery.
Had a BMW R900 rider mock my Yamaha RD400 2 smoke in a bar.
Went outside and lined up at the light.
He stalled his Beemer and I was off in the distance.
True story, bruh.
Wow! First sensible remark regarding the M3 Pro. I’ve said all along that Apple intends to use the M3 Pro in products the M2 Pro would never “fit” in due to thermal/power constraints. The AVP would be the perfect device for the M3 Pro (and the iMac).
Yeah, don’t believe Apple will not hold another event for its launch. On stage with Gruber, Mike Rockwell, lead engineer on the AVP, said there were quite a few unannounced features and surprises.

If they wear glasses too, then sadly not.
Otherwise, they're magnetic and can be easily removed for when you share them with someone who doesn't need eye correction.
It will be very interesting to see how well it does, how Apple’s technology and marketing savvy translate into consumer appeal in a market where other cheaper products exist.
Personally, I expect it to come down to capabilities versus convenience. Strapping on a Vision Pro is less convenient than grabbing an iPad, but if it yields much improved capabilities for my use cases it may still be compelling.
The thing is, the capabilities are still largely an unknown. We will have to see to how quickly the app market matures and good concepts come to the fore.

I don't think you'll be able to leave it fully sealed since apple will require you to get it fitted in the store. Even if you say it is a gift for someone else, that person will have to go in to get fitted.
I am hoping it is possible to buy prescription lenses for all of my family members so it can be shared. 🤞
It's difficult to see a world in which this sells more than iPod Socks. I've tried VR, and it's great, it has a level of novelty and wow which few products do. But then you wear it for an hour and you can't wait to take the damn thing off your head. They're heavy, uncomfortable, and sweaty.
And there's arguably only one VR killer app in existence, Half Life Alyx, and that didn't exactly move the needle much on VR sales.
This will be an at best mediocre seller just like every other VR hat. It will have its fans and its advocates, but most people will ignore it and get on with their lives.

What a great Valentine’s Day gift - your loved one can tune you out and enter their own fantasy world.
What do you mean? Most/many people fall asleep on flights (so about as "zoned out" as you can get) and don't have any problems. So what do you think is going to be the issue with you wearing these on a flight?
I've slept on airplanes w/ a silk eye mask before. Can confirm I was not robbed or molested - at least I don't think I was.
Also I've used my $4k M3 Max on a couple flights (and a couple train rides) now. It's with me safe and sound right now as I type these thoughts.
Mmmm, better yet, buy the first one because there is nothing like it, buy the second one when available, buy the third one...
