Apple Vision Pro Testers Share Impressions: 'By Far the Best Headset'

they spent billions on Beats as well - you might want to confirm that "no charity" statement with Dr. Dre ...
You know, this keeps coming up every few years that Apple designs something cool... but there are lots of regulatory loopholes to go through for any product that comes close to the medical sphere that isn't (like the Apple Watch).
The real big bet is going to be on No Click purchasing... you see someone on the street, "I want that jacket" and it buys that jacket. The global retail market is worth $26 trillion. Apple set in motion its last 20 years by quietly licensing one-click purchasing from Amazon and acquiring Casady & Greene. Their next twenty will be defined by how they position themselves as the leader in no click e commerce.
Forget gaming... imagine standing in front of a mirror, seeing yourself wearing a product you just saw someone else wearing on the street, and so that sizing and product information gets transmitted to the retailer, ordered, shipped to your door. Forget going onto the metaverse... Rich people would pay through the nose (or visor, as it were) to have a Chanel boutique that materializes in their own house whenever they want.
Lol. Really??? That’s the best you can do???

Cool!!!!
And have it so you can show any eyes. Friendly eyes when you 'like'. Snake eyes when you don't like. Hypno eyes when you want. Like that.
Do you have any idea of the complexity of this device and the research that went into it's development? You're making your bolded statements over and over and over again. Other high end VR devices are in the same price range, or more. I think the price is very fair and will be happy to buy one on day one.
There’ll be a 5.4" Vision mini that for some reason won’t sell well.
That feature would sell more units than all of the selling points they pushed in the launch video. Have you seen the limited series Years and Years? One of the kids uses a product that does something like that.
Jobs is dead. Give it a rest already. I really don't give a crap about what he wouldn't or would do. Frankly, I think he would have approved of this.
There’ll be new Eyemojis with each visionOS release.
I mean, you could watch the review on the article you're commenting on.
To be honest yesterday I thought that this is one of they very few products of the past ten years he might have been really proud of, but you both might have a point. Time will tell, but I guess this might be a case where he would have been proved wrong - just like he was when iPhones bigger than 4" seemed to be out of question.
He should have said to the developers “this must work with glasses too, go and make it better”
So you’d rather pay $3000 for surgery than $300 (guessing) for a pair of prescription inserts? They will never design this for usage with glasses. They have no incentive to, plus that’s almost impossible without making it too bulky, especially with the return of large frames into common fashion.
I think it might be a little bit further out, but that would be right around the time mainstream adoption could really pick up. Exciting times ahead for sure.
They didnt ever show that...on purpose I think. But...yet I think that is the next step if it becomes popular. Right now no two people with these will ever be in the same room...
I use my iPhone a lot while lying down in bed or on the couch, and can't stand the weird angles required for my arm to hold it up or the tension in my fingers to keep it in my palm (my pinky hates me for using it as a platform), along with having to lift my other arm to use the screen half the time or type.
Problem solved.
Sometimes I want to lie down and do serious work, but the MacBook Air is clunky and limits body positions, and the iPad mini has the same problems as the iPhone, just bigger.
Problem solved.
I've never cared about 3D stuff, particularly TV's. I'll actually watch 3D movies in this, since I'll already have this device for other purposes.
Problem solved.
All the other headsets out there looked/performed so comical or half-baked, made for games or whathever. Apple turned theirs into a new computing platform.
Problem solved.
I do a lot of camping (vanlife) and of course have my MacBook Air for a main screen and iPhone for portability, but a 50-100" TV can't fit inside my SUV camper.
Problem solved.
I've personally never wanted a TV in my house. Just a nice sitting area that is inviting to the occasional company, or conducive to lounging without distractions. But I'd still like to lounge in that spot and sometimes access/create content … but not use iPhone, iPad, or MacBook as I discussed above.
Problem solved. (Apple depicted this TV-free environment several times, so I'm not the only one dreaming of it.)
AVP solves many problems which I've endured for years.
Just not everyone has those problems.
