If it were more comfortable I would buy it again for $2000. I'm not sure I would buy it for $3500 though.If it were more comfortable would you use it more and/or buy one again, or is it still too much (at $2k) for what it does?
My hope is they do have the smart glasses with a HUD, that links up to Apple CarPlay, so when driving, it had my speed, map directions etc.Smart glasses without a HUD is not as useful as tech bros would like you to think. That's just Humane but on your face, and we know how interested the general public was.
^^ this 1 billion percent. He’s literally saying “it’s a niche device” and people’s reaction are “ it’s not selling in iPhone numbers!” Like the hell people? Did you people literally not listen to a word he said? “An early adopter vision of the future” is pretty telling and if people were listening, they wouldn’t keep recycling these discussions about AVP being a failure based on sales numbersThis: At $3,500, it's not a mass-market product," he said last year. "Right now, it's an early-adopter product.
Every time the Vision Pro gets mentioned people call it a failure. Here’s the CEO of Apple telling you it’s not a mass market product. They couldn’t even produce more than around 400k per year. Not to mention there’s still certain glasses prescriptions that are not compatible with Vision Pro.
Over time it will get smaller and cheaper. Eventually we will be able to get a full Vision OS experience in something that is the size of stylish sunglasses. There was just a recent breakthrough with holographic lenses.
It’s an m2 chip actually but yeah. The m4 or m5 version should be coming in a couple monthsI'm ready to buy one, but they need to update it first. I think there are probably a lot of people like me who are just waiting for the second iteration. It's still on an M1 chip. My luck, I buy it tomorrow, and then they announce a new one next week.
I said this in another thread, but the AVP starts at more than the average American’s monthly take home pay.^^ this 1 billion percent.

Agreed, virtual travel/immersive video is cool as hell: reminds me of my flying dreams. But, that puts it in the bucket with the iPad: a consumption—not a production—device. How do we get it into the productivity box to justify the investment? Or is it just a toy?Many people keep forgetting that there is a limited supply of certain, unique components of the AVP. I think the 8k screens are the main ones.
It is a chicken-and-egg situation where the investment required of suppliers to 10x the supply doesn't yet make financial sense...at least not yet. So Apple really isn't trying to sell 5 million units...because it can't.
Two years in...Apple has enough in the field to supply developers and early-adopter/testers. Heck, Blackmagic just started shipping the $35k camera to make immersive video. The footage I've seen is really, really good - but $35k makes the AVP look like an inexpensive add-on.
And I'll keep saying this until Apple hears me - the real killer app is telepresence. When I visit places in the AVP (with footage shot via Canon R5 or better), my brain thinks that I've been there. There's only so much time, money, access to travel to all the places I want to be -- telepresence via AVP makes it relatively inexpensive, easy, and convenient.
Last week, I rode a camel in the Sahara without getting hot or dirty...or smelling the camel. That was 'good enough' for me. It is not the same as actually flying to Africa and doing it - but so, so much cheaper and faster and easier.
And it is A LOT better that viewing the same thing on a flat screen. To me - it is night and day. I've never watched a movie and thought "I've been there". With AVP, I feel like I have.
On top of that, the Apple Immersive content is simply stunning - much of that is something I could never experience myself, regardless of time or budget.
And finally, I can do it all for 15 minutes at a time.
The only productive application I've found so far is creating a giant screen (not quite ceiling to floor, but 5-6x my 27" screen) to view and navigate giant mind maps, fully expanded. Not quite Tony Stark...but great for simulating a full-wall white board.Agreed, virtual travel/immersive video is cool as hell: reminds me of my flying dreams.

"I was thrilled with the release from the team on visionOS 26," said Cook
It actually is MacOS 26.Apple's version numbering system has become a joke.
What's next, MacOS 26? Now we can really own Windows 11 because it's 15 higher.
It actually is MacOS 26.
