I'd be more interested in it if it were a full-blown Mac. Vision Pro is wearing an iPad on your face.
Got a tip for us?

You mean watching movies while plugged in to an outlet, unless the movie is under 2.5 hours?
I don’t see a compelling case either.
Especially only really being focused on entertainment like it doesn’t show anything NEW like what extra value does it bring me?
I am afraid developing something truly „emerging“ is just too time consuming / expensive and therefore most productivity apps will simply be ported or made to work on like a flat surface / on a virtual „screen“ floating in front of you, just like on a laptop display.
What I’d be looking for is Apps, taking you „inside“ and be „part of the UI“. You know what I mean? but I am happy to get proven otherwise.
Imagine having crappy depressing weather outside, which is bad for your mental health so you open something like a virtual „Calm“ app and it makes you feel like you are in Hawaii right now (or any place in the world to choose from). That would be amazing. Oh and I am not talking about a Nintendo Wii looking virtual world like on Meta
So if I wear the Vision Pro I am a super hero ? (With a small battery attached to my B…t)
The bar is high for apple to win here no doubt, but this type of interface will fundamentally change the way we work. The old mouse in one hand and keyboard in the other is such a severely limited interface. Imagine trying to cook dinner with only point and click mouse and maybe some keyboard shortcuts. Really think about that for a minute, it’s incredibly limiting. Think of how many mouse clicks, how many control-shift-option clicks it would take to just make a decent pot of pasta. I’m not saying I think this first version from apple is going to be a home run but it will start a lot of us on the path to a vastly more productive, intuitive, and effortless way of working with our little machines and for that I am stoked to see how it works in my kitchen.

They will get outraged if any visual contents do not iclude every races, every religions, every single diversities in it. If one accidentally left out, they will berate it as a failure for not being all inclusive.
"Buy another Niche Expensive Apple Product®"
Exactly the right product for all Apple Watch Gold Edition owners out there!
Whatever one thinks about Vision Pro that's one cool teaser and walk around memory lane.

Why does this product make so many people angry and unhappy?
While this is true, movies also almost never show people watching movies or TV, because, well, it's boring as heck to watch other people just sit and watch.
Great question.
My hypothesis is that people secretly desire something new and exciting in their lives, but for whatever reason, they think this product isn't it.
But rather than just leave it at that, they feel they have to convince everyone that the thing is junk in order to live with their own cognitive dissonance.
This way, they are not the only ones missing out and their unhappiness seems justified.
Sidenote: I am sure this theory will also make many people angry and unhappy here, but fear not, my arms are open and the hugs are free

like the intro part, but when she puts the glasses is a bit meh, only Apple purists will understand those random icons floating around.
I suspect a few recent apps/features on other devices came out of Vision Pro development process, such as Stage Manager, Freeform, and SharePlay.
Stage Manager seems redundant to spaces and wastes screen real estate, but in VR you don’t have to worry about how much space a stack of apps takes up.
Freeform works best with a big canvas.
With SharePlay, you can have someone next to you while watching a movie instead of covering up part of the screen.
But what is 70% as nice? You could argue that resistive touchscreens were “70% as nice” as the iPhone capacitive touchscreen, but the experience was black and white. I think there a bare minimum where AR feels like reality, and it’s very complex and expensive to achieve. If you check videos of a Quest 3, no matter how acceptable it can be for VR games for its price, it’s miles away from displaying convincing AR.
Apple users use those icons every day. It’s not about being a purist.
Journal, Music, Keynote, AppleTV, Safari, Pictures, Notes etc. Hardly a list of purist apps, rather ones that could be useful on the Vision Pro. And all Apple Only Apps unsurprisingly.
