Real life isn’t that great these days lol if the oasis from ready player one existed, I would be in it more than I’d be in the real world
Man, I dont get the hate here. I went to the Apple Store and tried out the AVP on a whim. I was blown away. The crispness of the screen, the ease of use the video. It is sooooooo much better than a quest. We have 2 of those and while fun the AVP is unbelievable. So I sought out a used AVP on eBay for $2000. It also is the 1 TB version. I use it at work daily, I am a videographer/photographer. It is AMAZING for work. With AirPods Pro you are in your own little world, watching tv off to the side and working on your photos or videos jumping into safari for different things... you get a text and jump over to that then. IT IS AMAZING! If you haven't really tried it stop at an Apple Store and try it out. you will be amazed too. I love it. And taking it home you can stream your PS5 to it, watch moves, record or watch spacial videos you take with your iPhone.... They need to get the price down to $2000 or less to get people in the space. I agree on that... but it is so wonderful!!!! Please just try it out!
Could not disagree more. Plenty of times when a product wasn’t quite what I wanted so I returned it and waited until it became better. Good enough for me.
The very first iPhone in 2007 is an example. Loved it. Returned it because of slow internet, dropped calls on AT&T and no mms messaging or App Store. Super basic. But the foundation was there. Jumped back in iPhone 3GS when things improved.
Just because someone doesn’t like the initial product, doesn’t mean it can’t improve enough to finally fit their needs
You’re of course right, but in this context, since only the chip and the head strap have been updated, it’s essentially the same product. The issues that applied to the first iteration still apply almost entirely to this version as well.
I know someone at work that tried the first Vision Pro on release and complained about different things that are totally fixed now. He got the new m5 with the new head strap and is happy with it now. He’s an account manager and i routinely walk in on him using it and we’ve had conversations about his issues with it a year ago.
Not only the comfort angle, but vision os has grown so much in the past year and a half its crazy. More content, more apps, vision os has fixed usability isssues like being able to unlock and use your iPhone without issue while wearing it as well as call handoff. Guest mode with saved setups. Mac virtual display ultra wide. New gestures that make things easier.
This is the first gen in a long line of products that will grow over time. Even those in the vision product group that worked on it said they thought vision wouldn’t hit its stride until gen 4.
If your only issue a year ago was “it’s expensive”, yeah? Not totally fixed? Although the used market is great for it right now and people are buying them up used for 1500-2000 which i consider more than worth it. We got a few more years before the vision air brings it mainstream
