Yes, but it is essentially unchanged from where it was on the prior day of trading.

Mark Zuckerberg Says Apple Vision Pro Has No 'Magical Solutions'

With their core business revolving around a lack of privacy.., low prices and high user base is meta’s wheelhouse. I would have been shocked if Apple chose to compete for that market, and I’m thrilled they are already mentioning privacy protections for focus monitoring.
"We can price ours at $499 because (we're going to harvest and sell your data and your children) we're so much better than those other guys."
People seems to focus on the wrong thing. Not everything is created to solve a problem. Most of the amazing inventions are created to improve solutions.
Again more silly comments. I don't feel depressed when sitting alone on a sofa. I sometimes welcome it after often being surrounded by family and friends. I don't get this all or nothing talk. A dystopic world coming as if these headsets will be glued on!
There is nothing depressing about alone time unless you intrinsically have a problem that results in you being alone. There are many reviewers who have described much more positive experiences with their demo.
I think this is the fundamental difference. Facebook showed their headset providing a virtual environment for people to work in (like second life for corporate), and I don’t know of anybody who would like to work like that, vs simply communicating via zoom.
Mark Zuckerberg knows he has nothing on what Apple is selling - immersion. Apple is showing how people can wear the Vision Pro and still interact meaningfully with their environment. Sure, using it to record your kid’s birthday party may be creepy, but if it can provide you with an immersive memory that you can go back and access in the future, why not?
Construction business already use VR for BIM and collaboration. It is much easier to build it in Revit or any 3D modelling, bring it to VR and finding out any clashes within the design. This is happening right now. Basically we go to an empty lot where a 9 floors parking building is going to be built, wear a VR headset and the virtual building as it was designed appears in front of us with all the cable runs, CCTV and lightings installed. We can walk through the door (obviously only first level) and it looks as real as an actual model. This way it saves tons of money and time before even the building is built to find out any mistakes and correction.
Well the vision pro seems to be a fully functional computer hardware wise and you run with what two 7k displays and apparently accurate enough to not need joysticks to function. Essentially a mac studio strapped to your head
I think it’s because they started at the pro level which is usually the most expensive.
But it requires an iCloud account, pick your poison. Power corrupts.
You know he is not wrong. He made very reasonable arguments, he even mentioned he will see how it goes. Do not forget when iPhone launched it had no app store so it was locked to just a phone with built in apps. No one can tell the future but we can only judge with what we know so far.
because Apple keeps their older products at a cheaper price. the newest iPhone may be more expensive than the original, but it has way more features and you can buy previous models for less.
Some of these comments are wacky! I have no love for Zuck or Meta, but his remarks seem entirely reasonable (especially for a competitor). Seriously, the hater-ade here is unbecoming.
I’d probably be most interested in it for watching movies (in 2D or 3D on a large-scale IMAX-like virtual screen), but hopefully I’d find myself doing other things on it. I guess FaceTime would be fun? Recording and playing back 3D videos would be cool. They really need to put AAA games on it. I could just pair it with a controller. The demoes were pretty solid during the presentation, so I see it has potential.
True. Apple clearly doesnt care abour VR games and VR spaces. Thats why so many VR people are confused about the device. They dont understand whats the point of a 3500$ VR headset…because it’s not a VR headset. It’s something new.
His comments sound like a kid claiming they can dunk when they can’t reach the rim.
There's going to be plenty of VR aspects, especially 3rd party. That's why it's called a Mixed Reality headset.
For you, it offers you something about which you complain. For me and my colleagues, it offers a virtual production headset for less than we currently pay.
I will.
Zuck is a wanker and I don't like his products or his view of the world, but he's not wrong that these are fundamentally different devices for different uses, and, probably, for different people. I'm not sure they'll ever be in direct competition.
But Mark will not say that even if he knows it is true. It is against his interest.
