Didn't stop them from putting 8GB RAM into a "Pro" MacBook just a few months ago.
No because they haven’t showed us yet. They released a video, are we supposed to be sold on it?
Kinda funny they held up showing that strap in all the previous advertisement but even the journalists and developers were given one for testing. They just didn’t want to show how ugly it looks.
That’s because they did a really bad job. You don’t do a video to demo a new product. People expect and actual demonstration, not a prerecorded video, that’s really f lazy.
It ships with both the Solo band (the one used in marketing) and the Duo band (the new one with headstrap)
I think the reality is that the weight isn’t quite where Apple want it and you will likely want to use the Duo if you’re wearing it for any length of time. A different version of the Duo was briefly shown in the launch video (essentially a head strap added to the Solo) but it seems the design has changed.
Apple wants everyone to use iCloud, so it makes perfect sense for them to encourage their users to save their spatial photos and videos to the cloud. Plus, people talking about downloading movies, the future is streaming, not downloading and storing. I get it, you might want a couple movie’s while you’re on a plane. Cool. 256GB is plenty for a couple movies on a plane. The storage is a non-issue if you stick to iCloud and streaming for the most part. The storage is mainly for the apps, and unless Apple decides to get really into high-end games (yeah right), 256GB should accommodate plenty of apps.
Apple provides everything except telling us why anyone would need this. I think they are counting on some dystopian future where it is preferable to bury your head in this thing rather than in real life.
1 million ipad/iphone apps. Which I have 0 interest in. The only relevant apps on the AVP to me are apps designed specifically for the hardware, that offer new/compelling use-cases. And Apple has esentially shown 0 of those.
It's so weird the way people look at the price and then look at the storage and then pass judgement. You don't have any idea what you're even going to do with this thing. You have no idea if storing large media or content ON the device is even a practical necessity. For all you know 256 GB is more than enough for all forms of usage of this device. It's not a Mac, or even an iPad. It's basically a fancy monitor. How much storage is it really going to need when it can just stream content from the internet or from other devices around you?
Because that's what you're paying for right? The storage?
Good grief.How about you describe how the experience will suffer with 256Gb storage compared to 512 Gb storage.
Ironic that for a product called Vision Pro, Apple has zero vision for it. Their argument is that the spatial experience is "reason enough". That's it. The spatial experience is supposed to justify that it runs baby iPad apps. It's supposed to justify wearing a giant, world-isolating, wall-tethered headset. It's supposed to justify an outrageous price point.
Spatial experience alone doesn't justify any of that.
Is there any way to find out if this will be eligible for any discounts in the Education Store?
It was presented at a developers conference. Sure, the average customer might not be the person who buys this product but still. Apple likes to show off third party apps before launch to incentive purchases. There were no public hands-on videos yet. It's clearly a different launch compared to other products.
Why would they? They need developers to make them. Which has only just started
