My 14Pro gets hot anytime I use the camera, and has ever since I got it.
Got a tip for us?

Meta Debuts $500 Quest 3 as Apple Prepares to Launch $3,500 Vision Pro Headset Next Year

Anything that covers your face is going to make you look bizarre, creepy, uncool, nerdy… a battery pack hanging off you is just insult to injury.
Yeah, you will look far less "goofy" in your AVP. 🤣
People initially laughed at the AirPod's appearance, and Apple has owned the design and it's now regarded as iconic and synonymous with Apple.
Because it's Apple, there is a higher chance of the vision pro being seen as "cool" and people being willing to be seen in public with it, thanks to the power of their branding. It's cachet Facebook simply doesn't have.
I feel that Apple is right to begin at the high end with a headset offering significant capability and utility and then work on product line expansion (i.e. lower pricing) over time. It also helps that the vision pro is designed to also work with other users who don't own the same device (eg: you can use your AVP to FaceTime someone without the AVP).
This is in direct contrast to Facebook trying to go for mass market appeal by lowering headset pricing (they probably aren't making much on hardware margins) rather than focusing on offering features and utility that people crave and would be willing to pay up for via high-priced headsets.
Either way, I don't think the secret to cracking the VR market is by offering low-cost devices that don’t do a whole lot.
Meta ads: People happy and moving.
Apples headset ads: people sad sitting down.
There is a winner here.
I bought the quest 2 with the intention of returning after I saw Apple’s presentation. I thought it was trash but I wanted to try anyways. Months later, I still have it and I think is amazing. It has most of the feature Apple announced. (At least the ones I like) for $299

Because both are used for gaming with similar specs (when tethered to a gaming machine, be it PC or a console). I bet 99% of the Meta Quest market share are VR gamers on Steam.
He didn't say AR.
He said virtual surgery. Which is hilarious.
Don't shift goal posts when people are saying absolutely dumb tech jargon.
The virtual tourism stuff he imagined is an absolute nightmare. The things that would happen would be worse than all the trolling, stalking and perversions we see already.
I guess the hour long presentation on what you can do with it wasn't convincing. So why do you want people on the internet to explain it to you when you have gone out of your way not to "get it". It's probably going to flop but that a different problem form I dont know what it's for. Apple tried to show you what they think it's for.
You do know that a huge proportion of surgeries are now done "virtually" correct? With robots being controlled virtually?
Yet the people who have tested all the existing AR headsets (including ones far beyond the Quest 3) said it was like nothing they have ever experienced.
I think apple is ok with extremely modest numbers for a long time in this category. Tiny numbers. Numbers that will look pathetic.
People went over this already to death. Dads have been behind giant cameras for over 50 years. This isn't a big deal to anyone. But....the iPhones can now capture 3D and apple couldn't show that in their ads so in the future my guess is that is what we will see.
Most abdominal surgeries, most gynecological surgeries, many oropharynx surgeries, increasingly thoracic surgeries, many male pelvic surgeries. Yes, a lot of them. I guess I dont have specific numbers but it's increasing every year.
You have posted a link to robotic sugerical appliances.
These are not 'virtual surgeries'. Virtual implies remoteness.
All surgeries require a medical profession present for the operation, which is what the devices you linked to require. Do you really think patients are to sedate themselves and cut themselves open and care for themselves in an operating theater?
Man VR people suck.
The only flaw in your thinking is that people "run around" with macbooks and mac studio's and don't use them at a desk or table within their own homes. The vision pro isn't replacing the iPhone. It is replacing the Mac. Literally zero promo shots of the Vision Pro had it in use in public - the closest to it was someone using it in an open office at work, which I think will be a valid use case.
The ad use case is already solved, the 15 Pro can take spatial video.
I think some people delude themselves by watching too many Sci-Fi movies.
This is still quite a way off. 🤣
There’s too much tribalism us vs them nonsense on this thread.
How about we acknowledge (like grownups) that Meta has had a strong head start in VR. AND, also consider that Apple getting into the market can only be a good thing.
If Quest 2 was any indication, Quest 3 will be extremely successful with these upgrades. Let’s hope that the $500 tag keeps Apple on their toes and forces them to deliver on both price and quality in the future.

We all know what industry tipped the scales in the BetaMax vs VHS format wars.
Wonder if the same industry will play a role in the AR/VR wars.

Goal posts? I didn't realize goal posts were established.
And by the way... virtual surgery is hardly hilarious as it has been used for quite a few years as an effective tool in training surgeons, in addition to using cadavers.
VR has its place in many applications. That said, I believe Apple's strength with AVP will be more aligned with AR applications. And as I've been saying all along, VR will come along for the ride.
I guess we are using virtual differently. The doctor is not doing the surgery with his hands. He is looking at a specialized screen using a ... essentially a "controller" to manipulate the robot. He could be in the next room or the next building. It doesn't make a difference and both have been done but in the majority the doctor is present initially but does the surgery separated by the pt on the machine.
I never said any of the things silly things you are saying. Of course they are silly right now. It doesn't mean that the surgery isn't done in a virtual manner by the surgeon who is doing the surgery over a screen using a robot.
It sure feels like sci-fi when you dont know anything about it..but it's pretty commonplace now. Your local hospital in a city with a population above 100K most likely has one.
well yeah..... its made for playing games and costs 7 times less lol. If it wasn't made by such a scummy company that peddles in collecting and selling your data, then it would be a pretty cool device.
