Wow, the ranking is removed from the main 2D Window. The spatial computing aera has truly begun.
Meanwhile, an €500 Meta headset runs circles around the AvP software-wise, although it has inferior hardware. I'm getting strong VHS-Betamax vibes here.

Otoh, if the Vision pro were made by any other company, it would either be a professional product for a higher price tag or an already forgotten flop from a now bankrupt company.

Apple doesn’t seem sure what this product is for, for business, consumers? Maybe they will get it right with version 2
I feel like this Apple Vision Pro should be renamed to Delusions of Grandeur.

This is the thing I don't get about the AVP.
It seems you can pretty much have any content "coming to AVP" through a 2D display.
I don't think it should count as AVP native unless it's actually immersive.
I'm looking at a 2D display in 3D space right now! No accessories required!
Even today the vast majority of iPad apps are iPhone apps with more whitespace. Very few applications are truly iPad native.
Same thing is happening with Vision Pro.
Imagine if Apple Maps cost £3500, was physically uncomfortable and only had a 2 hour battery life 😆
My point is, let’s not expect things to drastically improve in months. It’s a gen 1 product. Give the thing a few interactions to see how it is.
I won’t disagree with you. I’m looking for a(the) killer app for me. I found it for the iPad and the killer app was the pencil and any given note app say Notability or Goodnotes. for the Apple Watch, it was a combination of having a Calendar app on my wrist, the cell phone and live updating weather conditions.
Medically retired and on dialysis; I’m looking for a or the killer app for the AVP for myself. Basically I’m looking for a reason to justify purchase for myself and haven’t found one yet.

IF the Vision Pro were made by any other company, most of you here who are critical wouldn't even care about it.
Every time someone mentions the 2 hour battery life, it's clear they've never used and don't understand the product.
Gaming is not the primary use case Apple optimized for just like their high-end products outside of maybe the iPhone.
The specs of their displays they use is extremely antagonistic for such a purpose: Until literally days ago there wasn’t single DSLR with the resolution/pixel-density to film AVP, FFS:
As a fellow developer you should be already aware it would take a VERY powerful GPU to run current-gen and even past-gen quality XR games at the ideal refresh rates to optimially reduce motion sickness and other issues with less than ideal refresh rates (90hz+).
The Vision Pro laptop-class APU and its GPU cores is not equipped for that use case.
It doesn’t even have ray-tracing being incompatible with current-gen of gaming.
So, 4 hours b/c I don’t understand the number 2. How many hours is the battery life? Can it be used while plugged in? If not, then why am I mistakenly fixating on the number 2?
Dialysis takes 3.5 hours, so for me, 2 hours is *****.

Took year of r&d to make this.blown up phone app + gorrila arm syndrome
It runs as long as you like as long as it’s plugged in, 3.5 hours is easy and I use it longer all the time… 😉
