AirPods don’t go on your FACE.

Something that is directly on your face is ergonomically beneficial in ways you seem to conveniently ignore

- More minimal eye strain when computing

- Far better means of having optimal positioning of screen canvas to get things done and you can be in more versatile positions for comfort simultaneously like laying down.

- Spatial/3D, AR, and HDR content are more maximized/beneficial up close than not

- More private computing

widespread problems exists with motion sickness and hot face giving marks on your face.

up close a screen is seen as larger. Refer to father Ted 😀

There are privacy screens that you add on.

Ps. I am just joking with you. Thank you for your post. It gave me a smile. 👍

That's very old in the tech industry; all people above that age need reading glasses and so on. That's for all devices with a screen if they don't use contacts.


…It is a future of computing, yes. Spatial Computing is in many ways very much a higher-end and more convenient form of computing for a variety of use cases than non-spatial-computing platfomrs .

Replacing your Mac is deliberately ambiguous and left to be varied to user-to-user. It is not intended to necessarily mean COMPLETELY replace a Mac at all. That a straw-man takeaway from their marketing on your part.

The Vision Pro is designed to replace using a prosumer Mac and iPad Pro for a variety of use cases its intrinisically can as a spatial computing device and having several parities with such devices (Prosumer HDR performance/support, Automatically iPad app compatibility unless iPad devs opt-out, Apple Silicon on par with iPad Pro SKUs at time of launch, and so on).

For a Vision Pro to completely replace a Mac, it would need a OS as open and its APIs having full parity to be objective.

What single function does Vision do BETTER than a Mac?

…Not Apple if you have any idea how they typically conduct their business and what profit margins their stakeholders are accustomed to.

Meta is certainly a loss leader in the device category, losing 4 billions dollars to date they justify having aspirations to support their metaverse vision and the idea of making that money back by mobile-gaming-like buying/consumption by consumers–as well as perhaps via their main business (personalized advertising on a very personal device).

Apple does not typically sell products at a loss to attract customers; they deliberately sell products for segments that don't merely settle for products based on price.

They're extremely successful doing so just like Nvidia and Dolby to be one of the most valuable tech companies in the world without being a market leader nor price loss leader in essentially all the product categories they do business in because more niche audiences than mainstream consumers value that focus THAT much (tablet industry maybe the sole exception).

So much so, they're renowned for their supply chain prowess and profit margin floors they can set with in comparison to other companies that cannot compete as a sacrifice of them chasing broader audiences.

It's a trade-off other companies are happy with not nearly as focused on design and advancing computing categories with such risk Apple has elected to have with their business.

Apple does it too.
 
Silly pricing. No thanks. Only someone with more money than sense would buy this! That £3,500 can be put to much better use than a high tech ski goggle.

Just to get the thread back on focus..

what do I think of Apple vision PRO?

It is an exciting new product category that in some further iterations that takes time and much money can be sold to a bigger audience. Thank you all of you that funds this new category, I mean it. Because of you the product will be better and evolve.

At that time the obvious flaws in the construction, for instance - bulk and weight on the face and specially ordered lenses, have been mitigated to light glasses that can be used effortlessly and it will be a product that can be worth having for more People.

Those are design flaws, not construction flaws

For such a technically impressive and future looking device… it is performing abysmally. I wonder what there internal market research is telling them about why such lackluster reception and sales in general.

There seem to be no "killer" profesional apps yet. So this is only a $3,500 entertainment device. But wait until the rediologists start using this for CAT scan data analysis or the 3D CAD users decide they need this to design complex machinery. For them $3,500 is trivial. But today this device is for entertainment and not justifiable.

It goes on your face. None of those bullet points mitigate that fact and several of them are highly questionable assertions at best.

Is it your contention that Apple intends this to be an enterprise product, not a consumer product?
