Apple Vision Pro: Here's Everything You Get in the Box

So many missing details. Very interesting launch.

Will there be more storage options? What size power brick is included/what kind of charging brick will max it out? What is the charging time on the device?

I really hope the packaging acts as a "case" for the device, it would be a nice touch (And Meta did this for a $500 headset...so, come on Apple :D) For a company that touts their environmental impact so much, the box should have a purpose for being kept around.

I’m at that age where my eyes have gone through the change. I’m nearsighted and wear glasses and since the change, I have to lift my glasses to see up close. I wonder how this system will work for people similar to me. Even with prescription inserts, it’s going to be tough to see things up close.

It definitely will depend on how Apple is going to implement the whole system. From my experience with other AR and VR devices like the Xreal/Nreal or Quest 3, they all actually project the screen "far". I'm also nearsighted. For the AR glasses, I definitely had to get prescription lenses to see the screen clearly, but only because it was projected far (I don't need to lift my glasses to see up close). Quest 3 was a little better than the Xreal as I was able to make do without my glasses/contacts/prescription lenses. My guess with the VR headsets in how I could make do, was that I wasn't doing anything like reading small text and the world is projected around you.

I am so curious about the same thing, and I've seen so many conflicting answers about it I'm not really sure what to believe. Like I understand the focal distance isn't "up close". But the screens are still only a couple of inches or whatever away. I wear contacts, but just like you I need readers when wearing contacts, or need to remove my regular glasses when not wearing contacts to see up close.

The built-in lens directs the light from the display as if (approximately) it came from much farther away. You don’t need any different glasses or contacts than if you were looking at a real object that far away. The fact that the displays are actually close to your eyes is irrelevant with regard to near- or far-sightedness.

There is the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) that can cause eye strain. However, this can’t be corrected with glasses or contacts (or else VR goggles would already be correcting for it with their built-in lenses).

Airpower = Disappointment
HomePod = Disappointment
AirPods Max = Disappointment
Vision Pro = Disappointment in 3,2,1….

idk if I would lump AirPower in with those other two considering it never released.

what exactly do you think will be disappointing with Vision Pro? or what *is* disappointing to you?

aside from the price and lack of fully immersive VR-type apps.
 
Touch Bar vibes on this product for me. I salute the entire team for making something like this possible, but the audience seems even more niche than the iPhone mini crowd. The promo video on their own website of the woman packing for a trip wearing an Apple Vision Pro is such a reach.

Oh she looks cool 😎

The more I see the more I have doubts that a device that costs almost $4k after taxes will be a runaway hit that some users believe.

I don’t want to hear what it can potentially do… I want to know what ar/vr experience is worth four thousand dollars.

If you have to ask this question …. this device may not be for you. People will use this as another consuming device — and then there are those who will innovate and push “whats possible” further. The prospect of pushing other fields/domains further by showing what possible is what im excited about.

That is absolute true my friend, AirPower never saw the light; but i was very excited for this product since i am until this day a current user of iphone, watch and AirPods.

I actually was going to mention the Airtag too but for some reason I didn’t.

Now talking about AVP, in my opinion i believe is an unfinish product, just take a look at all previous post about the AVP software that indeed need more work on. This new product it’s called: spatial “Computing“ but does it really? Because Mac users tremendously use a computer device according to their needs of profession; AVP it has been advertised as an entertainment product showing multiple times been used in a airplane watching movies, So this product obviously is not for an every day use at all, where now it comes down to the price; does this product really justifies the 3500 dollars STARTING PRICE so a consumer decides to really buy this device?
Comes to my memory another apple product that probably turn into a disappointment and that’s the Gold 24 Karat Apple Watch, How many people bought this product for over 10K?

the YouTuber JerryRigEverything exposed Apple on How much titanium they add on the new iPhone 15 pro series, it was around 30 bucks invested, does it really justifies the current price tag?

What kind of breakdown this device needs to impact the market and loyal consumers to convince them to get this device?.

You know that the battery life is going to suck ...as soon as you see Apple throwing in an external battery for free.

I don't even think the AR/VR stuff is the killer feature of this. It's the eye tracking. If it's as good as they say it is, I believe this is simply Apple trying to apply a revolutionary new input method to the constrained tech of the day. The way I see it, the real power would be in applying this eye trakcing and the little lobster finger move to ambient computing. Imagine unlocking your front door as you walk up my looking at it, adjusting the temperature in your house with a glance and a pinch, etc.

Maybe I'm totally off here, but I think the goggles are just too awkward. Even as sunglasses they would be weird in a lot of interactions.

are you going to pay $4k to be an early adopter? I think it's intriguing.

To be fair it only has an external battery so it’s not really something they are “throwing in for free”.

I wouldn't be surprised if soon after release Apple offers extra, or even higher capacity (longer running), batteries. And probably 3rd parties will do so as well.

Nothing to fret about.

I wouldn't. But people collect Apple products and other tech products, and first editions in sealed boxes are highly sought after. A 1st gen iphone can get $20k on ebay. An original Lisa, or Newton can get even more.

That eBay listing is asking price(not completed sale), there are very few collectors.
 
Now we can see what's going to be included in the next-gen vision.
- Vision Pro Headset
- Solo Knit Band
- Light Seal
- USB-C Charging Cable


And all other items will be sold separately.

Pretty sure the front glass cover gonna be $99.99

It's a vague concept that could be useful in many ways. I'm not suggesting that we switch everything over to this one input method, just like we shouldn't switch everything to touch or voice input and get rid of physical buttons and dials. It would be another tool in the drawer that could have meaningful applications, thinking especially of people with physical disabilities.

Precisely, what future would that be? Are you the self-appointed arbiter of what people want?


That reminds me of Jobs introducing iPod on stage years ago, saying: "A thousand songs in your pocket."

With people here replying with: "Who asked for a thousand songs in your pocket?"
