And then in June, Apple will show off Vision OS 2 and all those reviews will quickly age.
Got a tip for us?

Here's something 100% objective: an 100" 4K OLED flat panel is more expensive than the Vision Pro.
I almost got motion sickness just watching the demo of The Verge trying it.
@DelayedGratificationGene you thumbs down'd this comment. Are you saying this didn't happen to me?

This isn't a new product category, just Apple's entrance into it.
Ok? A Range Rover is more expensive than a Hot Wheels car.
I dunno, The ones I have watched so far seem reasonably balanced.
Which… might be a problem for Apple, if this is the bes reviewers they could come up with.
Apart from iJustine who delivers the usual gush-piece, the others seem very middle of the road, luke warm.
I mean, even Apple have been lukewarm in their build up hype.
You can plug it in while on the plane, but swapping the battery isn't going be that big of deal.
Translation: I'm jealous of her success.
I thought I was imagining it, but I also started feeling a tad queasy.
Oh good grief.
Joanna Stern's (WSJ) is a pretty good first impression. The cooking example really shows the future potential, but only in a future where this thing is 10% as heavy, not warm, and doesn't cut you off from the real world. Seems like it's just interesting tech for now, but early by maybe 10-15 years.
Good recommendation. It's probably the inverse of a "extension of Apple PR department", @canadianreader should take note 🤣
Vision Pro is above 4K resolution. Vision Pro can provide screen sizes much larger than 100".
I'm guessing Apple hopes the market for this is a couple orders of magnitude larger than the 100" OLED market, because very few people are buying those lol.
A lot of people view this product as a portable device, but I view it more of a desktop computer with the ability to untether for short periods if necessary. It will allow me to set up my workspace or entertainment space anywhere I have a spot to comfortably sit. I can only see myself relying on the battery to move from one spot to another or if I'm using it for cooking (but I think I'll keep it away from steam).
Hardly. She is annoying listening to and just a hype man for Apple. That being said, wait for real world reviews to hit.
Until everyone's head is the same size, it's gonna be tough for Apple to sell something that is fully ready-to-go right out of the box. I guess you could get a scan done at the Apple Store before you order and have them ship your custom version to you? That might be an option for the future.
Come on, Nilays video from the Verge is as balances as you can wish for. His conclusion is even that the tradoffs arent worth it. Do you consider that message to be Apple PR? If you haven’t watched the videos, then don’t give comments that are basically calling into question professional journalists unprofessional.
I think my favorite thing about Apple Vision Pro (TM) so far is that it’s hard mode for YouTubers to make ridiculous thumbnails. They’ve got to figure out some way to make a ridiculous face while having only their mouth fully visible.
I’ve only watched the half-hour The Verge review so far, but it’s a real review, with a conclusion of “it’s magic until it isn’t” and “not worth it right now” and “unclear if this can ever work well enough for mass-market adoption”.

Yeah, for most people, it will be something they use a couple of times and then store away; I'm sure there will be people that will make good use of it, but most won't get $3500 in value worth.
