Apple Vision Pro Launches in Two More Countries

Johny Ive is no longer at Apple, but Tim continues on a path that has not worked out in any way - maybe he misses him, and I do too, but Tim doesn't seem like one. The Watch Series 0 also had an absurd sales model. Finally, it was Tim and other eggheads who came up with the idea of returning Apple to the people, cooperation with Nike, no idiotically priced gold model, and normal distribution.
Start removing the boring negative VP comments that show-up in every MacRumors article about VP.
Does this mean that K-Pop acts are going to follow in The Weeknd's footsteps (literally) and launch "Apple Immersive Videos" for the Vision Pro? 👀
Because if one of the groups that like to promote Apple products (like, say, NewJeans) start promoting the Apple Vision Pro, I think K-Pop fans might actually be willing to spend surprising amounts of money to buy the device.
Why they keep adding countries to the launch list? At this point every “release” is an even bigger drain of resources for a product that is not selling at all, they would actually save money if this thing was only available in the US.
The Apple TV is a good product, fast, cheap and reliable, it’s so affordable that buying one is a good idea even if you’re not an apple person because it can work just fine on its own.
Now buying an AVP is a really bad idea in the vast majority of scenarios….
I just watched Silo S2 E1. It looks great on Vision Pro. If you go Reddit, there are complaints that it is too dark on the TV. VP is oled and looks as good as my LG 77 G4, just bigger 😆

Having no “killer app” that showcases how “spatial computing” improves productivity for most of us is definitely a huge problem for the AVP.
I”m not so sure about cross-headset development. I think making apps for multiple traditional headsets (vive, meta, etc.) is relatively simple but they all share native support for AR/VR controllers as a core concept. Not sure the AVP belongs in that same group.
I disagree, the same jokes repeated for every article get funnier each time. /s
I don’t doubt what you say about your experience with the AVP due to the micro-OLED displays, but IMHO the general complaints about a show looking too dark on the TV is only an indication that the vast majority of people simply own average to low end TVs, and/or those are uncalibrated or poorly calibrated. A lot of people also give little thought to how much ambient light is in the room when they are watching.
I’m reminded of similar complaints towards the end of Game of Thrones years ago, including colleagues at work. But at the time, I was still rocking an old plasma Panasonic TV and I saw details in the dark scenes without trouble.
I've been at the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit all week, and a couple of us have brought our Vision Pros and given demos to curious people. Everyone who's tried it has loved it, and at least a few have bought it or are now seriously considering it.
I've found that the Annapro head strap makes a *huge* difference to how the device feels for long-term comfort, in no small part because you can remove the light seal. This obviously doesn't provide total immersion but it's fine in a darker room, and is especially important if you're sharing your device with anyone wearing make-up!
Apple have given many private demos during the conference too, but personal demos including spatial photos and videos are the best. It's pretty great to take a spatial photo of someone while they're wearing the AVP and then AirDrop it to them.

Because these few ( 400 k probably ) are the ones with the money.
I own one and I did not hesitate a single second to buy a maxed out plus Apple Care for roughly € 5 k and I could afford to buy pricey APPs n case I wanted to.
People who constantly complain are normally not the ones spending tns of money n content.
Correct - they get even more hilarious every time repeated
These jokes are already over used and worse than the ones about the Chupacabra.
These people remind me of those hanging around the stadium and talking about how bad the game is just because they couldn't get inside.
That is some tortured logic.
If Apple wants to end the VisionPro, they can just do it. They don't need to introduce it in two more countries as some kind of excuse. That makes NO sense. Is it something YOU would do if you were in charge?
I've never been to the UAE or South Korea, but I have seen "Crazy Rich Asians". Apple will sell a bunch of these as party favors at bridal showers.
I’m using mine right now!
