Is this what was advertised during last year’s WWDC/Vision Pro event?

Glad Disney keeps contributing new content and experiences to this device. They must believe in it.

I very much look forward to adopting it when version 3 or 4 launches. Hope it’s a no-brainer purchase by then.
 
I respect that.
To each their own. A wonderful thing to have the freedom to choose. I want Vision Pro. The time is good I buy it. Those who bad-mouth the device because of personal factors need to stop. People pay for their own devices, not those who try to convince others not to buy. If I listen to people on fan sites not to buy, I would never own a device.
 
Yep, it’s confirmed: for $3,500 this will be the only thing you can do with the AVP.
Sounds like a you problem. From a core function of a personal computer standpoint, the Vision Pro certainly intrinsically has use cases even by merely benefiting from its factor that allows laptop-level computing that is more convenient and private than alternatives even within Apple’s Prosumer product portfolio.

Hmm... Maybe it's just me, but this looks horrible to me. And if the other recent 2nd tier Marvel offerings are any indication, it would be in good company.

As for Vision Pro, it still seems like it's about 5 years too early for anything really interesting.
 
Meta should be pursuing partnerships for content like this instead of whatever the hell they are doing with Microsoft.
 
The real problem is that the storytelling and screenwriting, which was at least servicable up to Endgame, has become utter garbage.

I’m always good for a Spider-Man movie. Ironman. Sure. These new characters? Not so much.

It’s use case: a limited number of flat screens floating in the air running iPad apps. So far that’s about it. And come on. It’s more convenient than a laptop? There is no universe where that’s even remotely true.
 
Ah, the people who think they are ballers because they spent $3800.

It’s a common comment here. “You don’t like it? Ha! You’re just too poor to buy one! You’re jealous!!”

So lame and untrue. It’s a dull deflection. One of several that people throw out all the time thinking it’s a winning argument. It isn’t. It’s self serving and pretty insulting.

Always? Have you seen Iron Man 2?

It isn’t an issue with characters or actors. No one in the mainstream had the first clue who Iron Man or the Guardians were before the films. The reason they know these characters now is the good writing of the first couple phases of the MCU.

A good writer can make you sympathize and be invested in any character. There’s literally nothing special about Iron Man and Black Widow in that respect.
 
I’ll never understand the hate for this product from actual tech enthusiasts. Tech like this will never be about “value”. If it was about value we’d never have anything. Everything starts expensive, OLED, big tv’s, computers etc. and everything has a narrow use case when it starts out. How many 4K films were then 4K tvs first came out?

Early adopters who are tech enthusiasts are meant to embrace new stuff with the flaws. That’s what it’s all about. Youre part of the journey to get it to mass market where, ten years down the line it’s cheap and content is everywhere. And you’re meant to get a buzz out of this stage. I see so many bloggers and YouTubers who are meant to enjoy the process at this stage just queuing up to hate it.

i thought tech people kinda “got this” part of the whole thing. But now every thing is based on “value“. it’s like asking whether a 200k Porsche has value. It’s just subjective and pointless at this stage. Just enjoy whatever good things the product has if you have the money and time. That’s it.

OLED was a revelation right from the outset. VR glasses not so much, and esp. not $3500 ones. If you have a use for them and like them then that’s awesome but you shouldn’t be surprised that most other people don’t feel the same way.
