Imagine having to "work hard for years" to buy this without batting an eye. Such a successful person. So proud.

Make me laugh so hard. It's just a goofy device with no useful use cases at all, just a thing in a drawer collecting dusts or being used to show off in front of your friends once a year...
You can get everything done easily on your computer or tablet. This goggle thing is nothing but complicating the simple tasks.

Tim Cook, a business person as a leader of the tech company, certainly has no vision for the future.
This VR bubble, just like the 3D printer and drones, is already dead. And Apple even didn't catch up the trend in the first place when it was a hot bubble floating around.
It's an epic failure already.

I guess but I don’t do ten finger typing on a physical keyboard either. Im assuming most people do not as an entire generation has been trained not to. Anyway, I’m sure Apple knows the stats.
Very interesting to see this! Markup also seems to be very exciting.
Will it support multitouch? I would need to at least be able to click on Shift, or Alt, or othe such keys while tapping another letter.
Why would anyone be flailing their limbs around on a crowded aircraft? I've never seen a better example of someone that wants something but can't have it, so they make up reasons to hate it. LOL you'll be in line right behind me on launch day. Well not right behind me, I'll be flailing around at my computer at home.
LOL, let's try to think outside of the box. You see a picture of a keyboard that will look nothing like the finished product and assume that will be the only option. Is virtual! It can be a 158 key keyboard that looks like a cat. There will be a VisionOS App Store filled with different keyboard options.
I wonder if Vision Pro will render people’s tattoo’s onscreen. It’s been well over a decade since I have seen my hands bare, and I wonder if I will see my tattoos whole typing and such.
Also it’s a shame they didn’t include Apple Pencil support, Drawing would have been PHENOMENAL to do in 3D. But I suppose the technological hurdles are too big for this version, and maybe a newer Apple Pencil will do it

Apple better make sure that skin color of the hands is configurable, or else they be in big LVBHEOIJA+ trouble...
my current setup is 2x 27" screens and a Mac, so I want to replace that and work from anywhere.
I don’t strictly do ten-finger typing either, more like 6-8-finger typing, but the same still holds. In any case, I was addressing the office/replacement scenario, where this is certainly relevant if you do any significant typing.
It is certainly interesting tech, but it isn’t the next iPhone or MacBook. Let’s be realistic: nobody really needs this thing to be productive and mobile. It’s usefulness is limited to an extremely small group of people willing to pay $3500 for “unlimited” and “portable” screen real estate with lots of strings attached: need to carry a MacBook to be able to run real productivity apps, need to carry a keyboard and trackpad to be able to actually work efficiently, a battery life of at most 2 hours, uncomfortable to use for more than a few hours a day, and so on… Since Apple is a business, they have to spend the limited human and financial resources at their disposal on products and services that maximize profits. Considering its huge development costs and limited profits, Vision Pro will quietly die off within a few years.
A very cheap keyboard + trackpad shaped 3rd party piece of plastic (or wood, or leather, for that matter) might become an alternative to Apple's expensive Magic Keyboard and Trackpad.
Because you don't have the skills OR the vision to see what it can be used for doesn't mean the rest of us aren't already thinking about the possibilities. It only who's your ignorance.
Even at a basic level - Multiple screen working. It's a whole computer so could have this instead of MANY monitors.
Linking to a Mac to do the same thing.
Games! It does do Full interactive AR and VR ( though they didn't show much of this )
3D modelling and animation.
3D prototyping - make a model and look round it - Car design for example.
Production flow design.
Art - sculpture Painting
Planning - Visiting places before going there.
+ all the stuff they showed.
iphone 1 - was laughed at by a lot of people. Took 2 Generations 3gs / iPhone 4 to become mainstream.
iPad 1 - Was a big disappointment. It's just a big iPhone - not a Mac.
Apple Watch 0 - Was underpowered and slow. Was only bought by a few people.
All went on to massive success.
The thing with this... It's actually a MacBook without a screen. I am buying one so I can do work on multiple 50" screens.
Gen 2 / 3 will be much smaller and lighter. And by gen 6 will be True AR Glasses. with Waveguide lenses or Direct eye projection ( this is already a thing not Scifi )
I've looked at all the developer information and documentation and that's the way they are pitching it over full VR, though it can do that too - they are not pushing it as their future is normal glasses - no screens - real world vision and overlaid AR and eventually will looks something like this.
Guarantee that one of the first apps will be Beat Saber that will work in VR as it does on the Quest but also AR.
This. People are not seeing this in the right way... it's an ultraportable laptop with infinite screens.
I do imagine I'd want a bluetooth keyboard.
You are blocked. There will be no spreadsheets allowed. Lol
