Apple Shares New 'First-Timer' Ad for Vision Pro

[zombierunner]

I like how they've gone to great lengths to hide the cable.

Well if this replaces a tv, monitor and a game console, then the price is justified!

With a 2-hour limit on usage.

A $3,500 virtual movie theater. So here we are.

I mean people pay a lot more than that for cinema set ups so. I paid £1800 just for my Sony HT-A9 (That's about $2,200 of your weak dollar)

So based on this ad Apple’s use case is someone laying on the couch watching a movie on the ceiling? That’s the future of computing?

Interestingly Apple’s stock is flat today while Meta’s is up 21%. Intraday market cap is now $1.2T.

That's a fair point!

spatial computing!!!


not bad though. not going to pay $3500 for it but commercial is fine. Does a good job at showing a specific appeal.

That being said...I am not sure at the end of the day if that isn't more of a novelty than anything. ...oh you laid down on your back to watch the movie on your ceiling? Man I had to lay on my couch and watch the movie on the wall.

WALL-E here we come! The ad does a good job of demonstrating the "big screen on the ceiling" use case but the overall tone feels really depressing to me. The couple seem totally disconnected, both lost in their screens.

I can't personally see the appeal of having that heavy thing wrapped around your head, especially to sit and watch a movie. Maybe you get used to it ? Good luck to the early adopters, but this really doesn't appeal to me, at this time.

Wait for the 6GS it’ll be way faster



It’s hers, of course. She’s getting ready for work.



World’s already kind of a dystopian nightmare. People might as well have blinders on when they’re lost in their phones. They already act like this, that ship has sailed. Just wait until we’re getting direct brain interfaces. Cause it’s coming.

Only a genuine idiot would have someone put a chip in their brain.

It weighs as much as an iPad Pro 12.9.

It’s HEAVY.

Well it's Elon Musks's pet project. I'll just leave it at that.

Also possible to have a non-invasive version someday, but not sure I like the idea of that either.

Yeah but more than one person can use that cinema setup at the same time

 

[farmboy]

People got very upset last time I called this a dystopian nightmare, so I will avoid doing so here.

"dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice." (Oxford).

Sure, because people are so unaccustomed to ever seeing electrical and electronic things with cords and cables. /s

Hanging off their faces??

Basically, yes. These kinds of systems are control devices.

 

[svish]

Good ad. Waiting to hear about the impressions from actual customers.

You've already forgotten about wired headphones?

 

[Surf Monkey]

You've already forgotten about wired headphones?

Nope. I have a bunch of them. But they don’t go on my FACE.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Actual customers are too busy enjoying it.

I agree, it was a good ad.

No they go on your HEAD instead. We're actually more used to seeing people in glasses, shades or goggles than over the ear headphones, which IMO look daft in public - as do hats. But hell, let people wear what they want. It's still not a public device anyway, people are only doing it for memes and attention.

This isn’t glasses. It’s a bulky helmet that looks ridiculous. And yes, according to Apple it IS a public device.

I obviously just find it hard to care as much as you about what someone else looks like. It's not meant for public as in walking around and using. You can use it sat down in a cafe or on a plane. I just wouldn't care if someone did, what harm are they doing to you? How does it affect you negatively in anyway? I think people who can't dress look ridiculous and that's most of the public not into clothes, but I don't care, they can wear what they want.
