Here's What Tim Cook Looks Like Wearing Apple Vision Pro

What is this iPad with the Pencil attached on the side instead of top?

Good question, it looks like it is a regular iPad though. Since it is on the left side of the pic, the distortion from the camera lens making the proportions look weird.

Love the photos of Tim in his office.

By the way, whats up with this trend to have picture frames on the floor? Why? How is this convenient? You get more dust on them. And then to vacuum everything is a pain, cause you need to lift everything up from the floor, vacuum, and then put it back. Why why why? Who started this trend? 😀

He looks hot.

Nice article. One of the first to be reflective about the product, rather than just focusing on this or that tiny detail.

I can't tell if you're being serious (e.g. the Tim Cook and James Cameron comments in the article) or sarcastic (see the headline) so I assumed the latter and laughed with you

People wear all shapes & styles of glasses/sunglasses. There was a time in history where wearing a beanie hat with a propeller on it was popular. There was another time in history where coonskin hats was massively popular. Cowboy hats are still popular in some places. Baseball hats. Skiers & Divers wear all kinds of Vpro-like goggles when doing their thing. Some divers cover their entire head. Bicyclists wear these thick helmets on their heads when doing their thing. Motorcycle owners (should) wear helmets that cover their entire head & faces. Surgeons & Dentists wear upwards of several layers of masks while doing their thing... with "eyes" (creepy or not) peering out.

In a little over a week, hundreds of millions will gather around their TVs- and some will pay more than $9K per ticket to watch it live- to watch a bunch of guys in football helmets with these extruding handles across the front bash each other over and over for a couple of hours. Not only will they be wearing a full-head covering helmet, but some will also be wearing face shields, have colorful mouthguard and some will paint their faces too. We'll cheer them, we pay them millions to do it, then we'll interview some of them after with messy, sweaty hair in some kind of hero-like worship.

That is all abnormal by this opinion and yet, millions of such people do it every day. Why? Because wearing that stuff fits their wants/needs or their situation at the time. They have something to do or enjoy and opt to pile up some stuff on their heads and/or faces to do or enjoy their activity.

Again, this thing is not permanently affixed to anyone's head. When they want to return to not looking "undeniably weird" they can remove Vpro... just like someone can take off their glasses, bicycle helmet, motorcycle helmet, dental shield, etc. In my wildest imagination, I picture few Borg roaming around 16/7 in VR goggles. Why? Apparently the best Apple can sell in all of 2024 is up to about 400K units. Apparently, Meta and others have sold many millions of similar products over the last few years. How many social gatherings have you been to where some/many are obscured by Oculus, Sony, XReal, etc? Why is that going to be different if Apple succeeds in selling all they can make?

I didn’t say people look ridiculous when not wearing it, so not sure what you mean. But in any case you’re entitled to your opinion. As am I.

It feels like we've reached into the future and grabbed this product

That's exactly the definition of a non-product. It's like releasing an iPhone or iPad in the Eighties. This is so no Apple, so not Steve, so not Jony.

 

[DaPhox]

Its not Tim. Its Ellen!

 

[Surf Monkey]

He looks stupid in it. No surprise.

 

[Glideslope]

Is that snow on the rooftops?? Where is he?

 

[jimbobb24]

What a weird way to title this post. How about Vanity Fair Features Interview with Tim Cook about Vision Pro.

 

[GLS]

Great article. To me, it goes more in depth of why Apple did this.

The author's apprehension and skepticism towards this device based on his previous experiences with other headsets, and how the Apple device won him over is pretty compelling.

 

[G5isAlive]

Tim is as awkward of a human being as there ever was.

When I said he was slick at marketing, I meant he can figure out the angles. and I think you are confusing a sledge hammer approach with something more subtle... but hey I agree that as a showman, a circus ringleader, standing in front of a crowed, Steve set the bar and Tim falls short. but hey, not really the point so okay you can go on with your happy meal 🙂

 

[jimbobb24]

I can't see it being much more successful than the Microsoft HoloLens.

In 8 years HoloLens sold 300K. In less than 8 days AVP sold 200K. Buckle up....it's going to be much more successful.

 

[DarthDon]

Can anybody add the Airpods Max to that picture? 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[DarthDon]

That Vanity Fair cover deserves every laughing emoji imaginable. 😅😂🤣🤩🤠🤡

Made my day!

Plus; Timmy got the version with the wireless battery 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This article is rediculous… Tim has been seen using ‘passive’ devices. Apple Watch on arm, phone out during keynotes. Of course he’s not going to be wearing VP it’s not something you passively use because it obstructs you from general activity when you’re wearing ir.

 

[Pinterra]

I'm surprised this picture didn't come out sooner. We need to see Cook wearing it to believe anyone else might want it. Honestly should've had it at WWDC.

They did a darn good job hiding the cable in these photos, though...

 

[rizzo41999]

But everyone is saying it’s not VR! Hahaha

Breaking: CEO of technology company says he uses latest product (“prawduct”, probably) to consume media from same company in breathless article.

Interestingly, he uses it for media consumption, not AR (he mentions productivity generically, with no specifics), having to watch on the ceiling to mitigate the weight of the device.

 

[makitango]

It's not COOL to be the most valuable company in the world. So that's why they've not pursued what would inevitably be an even more valuable company. No, better to sit back in all-knowing judgement and sip your coffee. Sans AVP, of course.

So I need to lose an arm to know it's bad?

 

[klasma]

Honestly, just the ability to use a device while lying in bed (and not worrying about dropping it on your own face like with a phone) is worth the $3500. 😛

Use a tablet arm like this one, it’s great and costs barely more than a polishing cloth.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Honestly, just the ability to use a device while lying in bed (and not worrying about dropping it on your own face like with a phone) is worth the $3500. 😛

I just don't use tech in bed; phone, tablet, tv or otherwise, nor does the wife.

It's bad sleep hygiene.

 

[joecomo]

looks silly. they really need to work on slimming it down. it's been a while since i said that about an Apple product. I think all new Apple products start out chunky then lose weight. Maybe by the 3rd or 4th gen it'll look good.

I think it looks surprisingly slick for a 1st gen product- gives hope for later versions

Tim Cook has been finally pictured wearing the Apple Vision Pro headset. The photographs accompany a Vanity Fair article about the device, which leads on the digital cover of the magazine.

This is the first time the Apple CEO has been seen wearing the device since its unveiling at WWDC 2023 in June. Given that Cook is usually keen to model and be seen using Apple devices, particularly during keynote events and speeches, it's interesting that the company appears to have been a little more reticent to take the same approach with Vision Pro, until now.

The article includes interview quotes Tim Cook, Greg Joswiak, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, and others on their experience with Apple Vision Pro, how the headset was developed, and more. Here are some select quotes from the piece, which was written by Nick Bilton:
You can read the full review on the Vanity Fair website.

Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 and launches in the U.S. this Friday, February 2. Apple has said the Vision Pro will launch in additional countries later this year.

It's amazing to read all these comments from people who, in their real life, must be about as cool as you can be. I envision them strolling down a tree-lined street, wearing their ever so cool hipster sun glasses and designer clothes. And passing judgement on everyone else who, in their estimation, is not cool.

Thanks for all the cultural help judging the AVP, cool kids.

Hey I buy all my clothes at thrift stores and trade comic books with homeless people to avoid being a hipster fashionista. Checkmate Poindexters ( lol satire )
