Didn’t people’s lackluster interest in the first one and the pitiful sales numbers convey that we don’t really give a shit?
34It wasn't lack of interest it was a lack of money. It was an interesting product that I would have probably bought but was ludicrously expensive. I can practically pay off my mortgage for the amount they wanted
15The price was definitely a primary factor, but it wasn't the only one. The Vision Pro is a bulky thing with a dingleberry on a string and many reviewers noted the uncomfortable headband situation. It, like may headsets, is also a royal pain in the ass to deal with if you wear glasses and/or need really specialized lenses.
But a really big factor was that it's an Apple product. Word travelled fast about how limited the software is and how you can't really do much with it. Apple is going to have a hard time selling these things until they crawl out of their own ass and actually let people use their products how they wish to. One of the biggest appeals of AR computing is how it bridges together computing with your imagination, and that doesn't really work when Apple says "no, you can't do that because it doesn't match our company vision"

Fix the Mac mirroring mode to allow floating windows/multiple displays, and make a cost reduced version that still has good resolution and is around the same price as two high-end monitors.
You could improve your desktop setup, and take your monitors with you on the go. I think there's a good usecase there. They just have to figure it out.
Personally I'm more interested to see what happens with Valve Deckard.
7I maintain that VR died when Facebook bought Oculus.
5You must not be a Harvard MBA in charge of Apple Marketing.
1But but but... Gen AI will make that experience even worse so give us more money please

I imagine this will be priced in a similar way to a flagship IPhone or a macbook, as it sounds like it has similar processing power on board.
What is the use case for something like this? Who will be buying it once the novelty wears off?
16Spatial computing is arguably incredibly useful but all depends if people feel comfortable wearing it for extended amounts of time.
The first one was a cool tech demo, i suppose this one will be more an early adopter version but i don’t see the tech being mature enough to have people stop using a laptop.
15People keep telling me it's useful but I literally cannot think of a single use for it.
11I'd love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really "there" yet for me, especially for the price.
Other than that? I can't think of much, besides gaming.

I just hate all their separate OSes. I'd buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I'd buy this thing if it ran osx. I'm not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.
8Have an app mode and desktop mode akin to the steam deck. It’s so nice

Narrator : It didn't
8Apple doesn't have AI in their products. No. No. AI is lame, over hyped, and consistent under delivers, not even going to mention the ecological impact. They have Apple Intelligence, which... look, I know how it sounds, but Apple promises that it's not AI.
7Oh wow I can't wait to strap a hallucination machine to my face

Good -- is it $10,000 now instead of only $5,000?
