Man oh mighty, this product sure is bringing out the entitlement in people. Can't we all just appreciate it for what it is?
You have to get through the first one to get to the second one. There is no skipping otherwise youll never release because its never good enough.
Its a v1 for sure… its just that its not a perfect v1 similar to the iPad and iPhone imo. There is not perfect v1. Thats why its v1.
Interesting how Apple have released support documents on how to fit the device properly and yet there does not seem to have been one influencer video that addressed this issue in detail. Yes there are videos from influences and reviewers that explain about how to fit it upon ones head but as far as I am aware none of them go into detail regarding the issues that Apple have now addressed in the support documents.
The third generation will be better than the second. Fourth will be even better, so best to wait until the fourth gen.
That's my plan.
I have no intention in buying AVP 1,2 or 3…
That doesn't mean I have no interest in the technology or that I need to see this AVP 1 fail.
I am just waiting this out.
How exactly are people being entitled if they expect a better version?
That makes no sense.
Are we only allowed to uncritically adulate Apple Inc?
Count me out of your Apple circle club.
This is a Beta product. Pointing out its current flaws — of which there are many — does not make us entitled.
I agree.
On a slightly different topic, is it just me, or did the definition of “entitled” change in the last 5 years to that of “self entitled”? Like, you are legitimately entitled to certain things, but the insufferable twits who think the world owes them everything used to be called, “self-entitled”.
I said that as soon as it was announced and people really didn’t like it. But that’s the rule for people who have experience with Apple product launches - never buy a first generation Apple product.
Gen 1 generally has significant flaws, but very soon, version 2 will be out and fix the vast majority of them. They very quickly fix the biggest issues and reach a place of stability, and after that it’s mostly missable, incremental updates.
I expect that within 18 months we’ll see a revision which is significantly lighter, with a larger FOV and better battery life, and with support for multiple virtual Mac displays. Apple will say that the power of the M3/M4 chip is what allows that.
Until then, the privilege of being a beta tester will cost you almost $200/month.
The model wearing the dual strap in the photo has a head that is round in the back. My head is flat in the back, and it doesn’t fit my head the same way. My back strap wants to slide up and my top strap wants to slide forward. That doesn’t feel comfortable or secure.
I wonder if it's possible for them to use transparent OLED somehow with blackout shades you can pull back when interacting with the outside so people just see your actual eyes.
Yes, but you can’t deny that the differences between some generations can be much more significant and often that’s very true between the first generation and the second generation of a product. When you purchase a first generation product, there’s an increased chance you just became an unofficial member of the beta testing team. So for anyone who purchases the first generation AVP, would you please report any issues you experience to Apple. They need and appreciate your input to help them refine the design for the next generation.
You have to appreciate the role these early adopters play in helping Apple bring us a much improved AVP if we decide to get one in 2025 or 2026. The input from them will be very important to Apple.
The light leak around my nose is going to be the reason I return this thing. The lack of training the Apple employees have regarding fit right now is unfortunate too. They're too reliant on the flawed scan which I obviously had to do to pre-order one in the first place. I'm going to go into a store one more time just to see if I can nail the nose light leakage and if I can't it's going back and I'll wait until next gen.
