While I agree to a degree, I don’t think it’s that simple. There’s a lot to be depressed about these days. If you can handle it, good for you. But a lot of people can’t and don’t seek help (for a variety of reasons).

I think it’s just another attempt to get VR off the ground. We’ve been trying to make it catch on and be more accessible over the past decades, but it’s only been (arguably) modestly successful. Sure, it’s Apple, but the foundation for the goggles is still the same. Maybe they can pull a rabbit out of a hat and change the landscape… maybe not. Time will tell.
He admitted he has access to certain stuff that some people do not? So the CEO of Apple has access to something that nobody else has?????😂
Appreciate it that he takes a customer call that is awesome. Hopefully he will do that more often without PR that would be awesome.

To experience Ted Lasso's mustache in a virtual environment must have been an awe inspiring experience for Tim. We think you're going to love it.
That show went to absolute garbage after season 1.
It might be a lot more immersive maybe? Hard to say which is better till you actually use a Vision Pro to watch something. Which most of us haven't had the chance to yet.
It doesn't...but neither does a plugged in laptop. The device is tethered and your attention restricts your movement. So I assumed the original author understood that and by analogy....
It was always garbage, right along with the rest of the filth on AppleTV+. Not to say Netflix is any better...
I mean it was never great. I just thought that the character of Ted Lasso was endearing and refreshing during a period of COVID and everyone being miserable. I liked his optimism. Then he turned just as miserable as everyone. Everyone in the show is insufferable and for a show about soccer, it has almost no soccer in it.
These kind of comments crack me up. I’m waiting for cheaper with more features… 😂 it’s a developer device… the non-pro version is coming soon….
Lol.
Don’t you think Apple would release a cheaper device if they could? Launching a new consumer electronics device starting at $3500 (remember, that’s just the starting price…) is going to put it out of reach for most people.
How is Apple going to make this thing cheaper? Remove cameras? Use lower quality screens? No spatial camera? There’s basically nothing they can cut to get the price down while keeping the baseline feature set they’ve established with the Pro.
This thing won’t be coming down in price much for a long time and it’s unlikely we’ll see a “consumer” model anytime soon.
All the people disagreeing with my post that the show is garbage ... I do have a sincere question. Why do you like watching garbage shows?
That “X, formerly Twitter” in most things I read make me cringe. I hope that name never sticks and they change it back.
That’s what makes it so weird. The iPhone probably could have been introduced 2001, if Apple could mass produce it and charge $3,500 for it. Apple has to move fast on Vision because Facebook et al. are already moving in on this space. Apple doesn’t have the early mover advantage the iPhone had, without Vision Pro now they would be on the back foot of the future of consumer technology. Which means a bulky device no one would wear outside with one hour battery and $3,500 price tag.
So, I'm curious why he would consider a headset to be a great way to watch Ted Lasso.
he and many other people also love Ted Lasso so I feel like it’s not much of a chore to do what Tim did.
he did say in the interview that there’s things he’s able to do/test that haven’t been revealed yet. so maybe he’s watching it in a more unique/special way that makes it fun or easier to watch?

I watched the entire show and enjoyed almost every episode, but I guess I can't imagine a headset being the funnest way of experiencing it. So he's either… exaggerating for marketing effect, or there's another shoe to drop wrt/ AVP capabilities. Both are possible, I suppose.
I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if he’s exaggerating lmao. we’ll see.
and I haven’t watched anything beyond S1E1 so far so I can’t say my thoughts on the show.
Messy for customers, certainly not for shareholders. But i'm a customer not a shareholder...
Will see the whole video shortly. Good to hear that Vision Pro is on track to launch as scheduled
