I’m curious of the apple crowd on here, who of you would pay this price?
I mean vision pro looks cool, I can imagine working with it and obviously watch a movie and gaming. For $2000 I would have not thought twice about but.. $3500 is just a lot.. for a toy..
who else had to laugh when they showed that guy film his kids with it? None will pull out these things at a kids birthday..way to creepy
Looking forward to the quest 3 actually!

I think they want the right way with the battery pack. I wouldn't want a battery attached to my head. I wish they would've made it larger because two hours doesn't seem like enough.
Based on experience with early pro digital cameras IMO two hours and iPhone-sized is totally acceptable for the battery on such a v1 device. Most construction workers are changing out batteries to power tools all day long to get a job done. And plenty of folks (like wedding photogs and hazmat workers) have experience wearing batteries on belts all day long to get a job done.

No pun intended, but the Vision Pro kind of makes life "meta." When viewed in a Vision Pro, 3D recordings made with the device will look as real as if they're happening now. We're accustomed to recordings looking different (i.e., less real) than what we originally experienced.
But is viewing reality through a headset as real?

It is not intended to replace the iPhone/cellphone. It is its own product and will go its own direction.
I agree with you.

But I'm replying to Fred Zed. He's the one that said he sees people wanting to replace their iPhone or cellphone with the Vision Pro in less than 10 years time.

I can see the Vision Pro paving the way for folks all over wearing one of these instead of carrying an iPhone or cellphone in under a decades time for sure.

All and all... Pretty good I thought... we shall see how the Vision goes in time... right now I'd say it's not for me, but you never know, I had a similar thought about the iPad when it was announced and now am rarely a metre away from my iPad Pro...

I'd like to see a 15" MBA in my hand, I like the thought of it but having had a 13" MBP for 5 years I'm not sure a 15" laptop is right for me...

What is right for me is a M2Ultra Mac Studio and I'm going to max that for RAM and GPUs... probably :)

As for the M2 Ultra Mac Pro... If I had a bunch of PCIe cards that was part of my workflow already then this would begin to make sense rather then having to buy all that stuff as external devices...

What's hard to get past is that 'that person' is potentially upgrading from a 2019 MP... that they could have spent a hell of a lot of money only 4 years ago, that's a machine that is still good... and not something they would want to retire and cannibalise ...

The M2 Mac Pro does not feel like the machine that Apple wanted to release, more like the machine they 'had' to release...
 
On the Macrumors TikTok channel the comments are wild and you can see whos just there to troll. Its super sad by now.

Personally looking forward to the macos and ios changes and the watchOS widgets.
 
What a day! This was the best highlight and my favorite. 🤩
I don’t know what I liked more, Apple finally releasing a new category of hardware, or Craig dropping a “Ducking” on us and blasting Sabbath on a triple neck. …without a strap? Pure rock & roll. I don’t know wat is happening but I like it.

WatchOS looks a really good upgrade. iOS was disappointing, wasn’t there supposed to be a command centre upgrade?

As for the vision pro, nice idea but 3,500? Will pass

I thought when Bob Iger came out, he will announce a merge with Apple 😂

When Apple introduced FaceTime for AppleTV, I thought that this is a sign, that they will bring an AppleTV with camera in a few month. Maybe an AppleTV with M2Po (I hope) 😁
 
The products introduced - in particular the new Mac Pro - suggest to me that the production of M3 chips was problematic in some way; too pricey, slow yield development, whatever. Because all along it has seemed to me that the higher transistor density of M3 would be necessary to build an appropriately advanced Mac Pro.

The M2 Mac Pro, un-leaked, unexciting, appears to just be a (not bad) fill-in until M3 chip production matures enough to allow the real new Mac Pro to show itself.
I believe your assessment is way off the mark. TSMC had an in house celebration party months and months ago celebrating their successful 3nm chips that were in production months and months ago. Like all scaling, the failure rate at the start is higher, but ironically the 3nm M3 failure rate published was actually no higher than previous chips.

Apple committed themselves to so much M2 product, when it was known it was a stop gap, and where Apple sales were hit leaving so much M2 inventory unused. Apple are not going to just scrap that, so in my opinion the reason we have not got m3 has nothing to do with chip shortage, its about Apple doing whatever it can to maximise profit by utilising the M2 in any way it can, so I'm pleased we have even more M2 products announced, but I won't be buying any of them and will wait for the M3

What was the weird processing they did on everyones voice? Was it all ADR? It was REALLY distracting and unnatural sounding. Everyone sounded like an AI voice.
great observation !
in my opinion the whole presentation was made by Gaudi
