Here's a First In-Person Look at the Apple Vision Pro

Difference: That was Steve's style. This entire presentation was like stand-ins for the Beatles, call them the Onos and everyone trying to project Steve's style and vibe in presentation.

Each time they do so the worse the presentation.

Steve would have demoed the products or not shown them and he would have never released macOS Sonoma with such weak offerings. Same with iOS and iPadOS.

He would have demanded more than 2 glued M2s and RAM options much higher. How do I know? I worked for him at NeXT and Apple.

And when he checked work he was indifferent and coldly blunt about Calling it Crap, but a different version starting with S.

Unless the man was blown away a product never saw the light of day. Now more than ever he would have pushed microOLED onto phones, iPads and Displays while bringing the AR product along, but only release it after several more revisions of that product to be less intrusive on the face.

The entire demo was horrifyingly bad. That is something they would have only shown after the Player One heads up display was no longer a Ski Mask but a slimmed down pair of shades that had a solid state integrated battery power source.

This is a product 5-7 years too early for mass production.

Looks like Tim Cook was too focused on leaving a legacy, he forgot to ask if this product should have seen the light of day this soon.

Awesome. Let the early adopters buy them, use them, love them, then the price will drop and wider distribution will happen.

When have Apple prices ever dropped?

They literally just dropped the MBA 13" price by $100

I meant the prices on newer versions of the product line.

You mean like they literally did with the HomePods?

When have Apple prices ever dropped?

A maxed out iMac Pro, the fastest system available in 2018, topped out at ~$13K. This is close to the price of maxed out Mac Pro (~$12K) + Studio display, if you consider inflation.

A maxed out Studio is a bit over $8K, maybe $10 K with monitor. That's around a $2K price drop for the fastest Mac available.

As someone who tried to use a Quest to replace my laptop, how is the pass-through to keyboard and mouse on this?

Also, are the batteries hot-swappable?

lets face it Prices won’t drop for the pro but the cheaper version guessing will be 1500-2k
