Apple Store Down Ahead of Vision Pro Headset Pre-Orders

I'm looking forward to trying out a new product from Apple. It'll be cool to finally see the limits/capabilities of its ecosystem integration.
There's the seed of a joke in this exchange somewhere. Might one day see it fully fleshed out and in a Netflix comedy special.
Although not on the AVP of course...
Sounds like you're trying to justify to yourself (your conscience perhaps) that you're about to spend $3,500. You do you though.
Interesting (genuinely).
I must have missed this. The AVP has a proprietary connection for it's battery pack as far as I'm aware, and I've not seen any accessory announced that enables you to connect it directly to mains power.
But maybe you have inside info on an accessory that will be launched in 40 minutes. Look forward to seeing it.
Thanks for the heads-up and insight.
I will live vicariously through those who order and post experiences while I do not order one.
To be honest, I am going to order one but am still very much on the fence. If I decide it is not for me, I most likely would resell it vs returning it because why not.
The AVP is not a MBP replacement. it’s a television replacement. it’s going to revolutionize home theaters. especially when copy cat cheaper versions arrive.

I figure I can always cancel the order over the next 2 weeks. But buying today to keep my options open.
Not all heroes wear capes 😉. Thanks for sharing I didn’t know this
I agree. Need to check an order status? Need to place a quick order for something to pickup at an Apple Store for some reason? You’re SOL until the theatrics are over. It also gives the impression their e-commerce system is so ancient that products can’t just be staged before going live.
You're correct (and the other commenter was wrong) about it not being able to be plugged directly into a power outlet. It will plug into an adapter, which will plug into the power outlet.
Let's just think about this. How many Apple products with batteries cannot be used while charging? There's the mouse with the unfortunately placed port but that's it. Laptops can be used plugged in. iPhones can be used plugged in. Even Apple Watches can be used while charging. To think that the AVP cannot be used while charging/plugged in is going against basically everything Apple does with their battery powered portable products.

While I agree, it is really only a home theater replacement for people watching alone (as it stands now). If I lived alone or was in an apartment where a home theater wasn't possible, it would be a game changer.
I was going to Pre-Order this VR headset but as time has gone on and with lack of public interest, I can't be bothered tbh.
Look at this thread for example. On a Pro-Apple board and people are showing next to no interest for a new Apple device. Yes it will sell out because it's not that hard to find 100,000 people with $3500 but it may take an hour or 2 because I can't see thousands sitting on their computer atm waiting for 0500 PST.
Just feels like another VR handset to add to all the others that have come and gone.

If so he is in good company with all those naysayers justifying to themselves on why not to.. lol
Way too uncomfortable to watch anything more than a 30 minute sit com at a time
