I honestly don’t know why I am subscribed to any other channel when it comes to apple related stuff. And I’ve noticed i either slowed down or stopped watching others because this channel has everything I need Apple wise. Brandon, you are truly a blessing for this. This is probably the best unboxing of this product period. We need more!! 😊😅

[@BrandonButch]

Thank you!! I appreciate that 🙌

@@BrandonButch just curious, do you get invites to Apple events since now you’re a over 1 million subscriber channel?

[@BrandonButch]

What are your thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro? Think it's worth the cost?

[@pabcu2507]

I reckon in the future (within 10 years or maybe less/more depending) it’ll be more affordable for more people

[@Simsalabimse]

Think it’s amazing what they have done for what I have seen better than Meta but sadly it isn’t in Europe and probably too expensive for most people.

[@Strongbad251]

The cost is SO high. And the optional case is $200!

[@k.vn.k]

It worth the cost to be the first. Not anyone can have it… yet.

So cool that you can record what you see so we can see too!

I don‘t know why I keep watching these :D

[@QUIQUELHAPPY]

This was honestly more enjoyable than the rest of the reviews I’ve seen about this. Good job!

[@BrandonButch]

Glad to hear that, thanks for tuning in!

[@ethanmenzel]

Your video is much more enthusiastic and entertaining than MKBHD's video. His felt like an emotionless sit-down review. This is one of the best 30-minute videos I've watched on the Vision Pro.

[@josephpepe2607]

MKBHD is biased he’s a 🤡

[@ethanmenzel]

@@josephpepe2607 It’s like Apple is paying him to say the things he says.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!

[@stealth01307]

I love using mine it transports me into new realitys that' in days past id only been able to dream of and now with the power of the Vision Pro and apple im able to experience these things. Another Killer product from Apple can't wait to see this product get better over the years like all the previous products did.

[@abdullahenani9670]

I’m looking forward to all the content you’re planning, I will be there since I’m a real one 😌

[@gillisjack]

Great, fun review! Thank you. Very glad to see you having a good time with this. Looks great.

[@caddyzig]

So awesome! You’re so lucky to get one on the first day. I love the unboxing video and I can’t wait to see another one with everything you lead as you start using it.

[@abdullahenani9670]

I’m sure you’re having so much fun because you finally get to nerd out about this 😂

[@BrandonButch]

I hate when I have to take it OFF 😅

@@BrandonButchI’m so glad you got the Apple Vision Pro, Brandon. How do you like it so far?

Yes yes yes yes yes I have waited all day for this video!!! Edit: The past year!!! Not day!

[@abdullahenani9670]

AHHH I’ve been waiting for this

[@txch]

I received mine today from the preorder, a feature I discovered is that you can touch any of the displays with your pointer finger as if it were a giant touch screen as long as you're right next to it, no matter the size of the display.

[@hallo_ween07]

Can’t wait for visionOS 2 🤔

[@BrandonButch]

Hopefully in June 🤞

vision se is going to be so cool

[@joshuakolton9955]

I’ll never buy this but for some reason I’m watching the video anyway.

[@edstar81]

can't wait for more

[@sakracliche]

i like to think of the vision pro as a glorified macbook, not a facetime device. really glad to see a review from someone who didn't classify it as the latter from the beggining. it looks sick, can't wait to get hands on mine sometime in the future, i love the idea of having a true imax screen equivalent at home, this truly is the future of content consumption

[@mattjamesss1]

I hope to get one if they ever have a cellular model, but another great video, Brandon!

[@BrandonButch]

that will be awesome when they do! Thanks!

[@hunterbsmith]

Congrats Brandon! I made a demo appointment for Monday at 4:00pm, so now I am waiting until then! 😢

Just don’t be mad when you want to buy one asap! 😅

Nice first review

[@jfigueroa919]

I love all your videos. I was hoping you made a Vision Pro review 🎉 I’m debating whether i should or shouldn’t return the Vision Pros. I absolutely love them but I am wondering how long would it take for them to make a version 2? I’m ok with holding on to them until we get more games and apps but if they come out with another version next year wouldn’t it be a waste of money holding on to a gen 1?

[@bean-berryhodzen9643]

Watching this on Juno! Haven’t taken it off since I got it

[@nickyeustace4782]

Thinking about giving up Crack just for the orange tab.

🤣

At 24:50 you can do that on the Meta Quest 3, you might be confusing it with the 2

SO cool!

[@marksabre85]

What glasses support Apple Vision Pro ?

[@OPGamified]

15:21 This is the most funny part 🤣

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Awesome review! Brandon is there a setting for Rosacea after use? 😂I think the song I wear my sunglasses at night will be popular again. You look like bug eyes or a patient who just came out of cataract surgery with those big dark thick glasses on 😎 Is there a low battery setting for the vision pro? If they hand gestures are awkward can you actually use a mouse or track pad to navigate? Can you use a physical keyboard too? Typing on that thing seems different. I wonder if it has swipe to type like the iPhone? The battery looks like one of the first iPhones. Hopefully they will make it swappable where it won't restart the Vision pro when you replace the battery before it is dead. Thanks for the review. This is one of your best unboxing I have seen hands down! 💯

[@berkeleyblue4247]

Great Video Brandon! Can you maybe do me one favor, as everyone seems to skip it.... Can you show us the interface and actualy try to touch things? You don't have to focus on things and use gestures you can also just tap them with your finder, like you would on an iPad or iPhone. I'd love to know how acurate the KEyboard works in that way and if it's more comfortable, especially since you didn't like the look and pinch version it seem :-)

[@Nintenboy82]

Mooi hoor. Bedankt voor de uitgebreide uitleg. Totdat ik de prijs van de Vision pro hoorde vond ik de PlayStation vr 2 erg duur. Maar oh wat zou ik de vision pro graag willen hebben. Groetjes uit Nederland 🇳🇱

[@Grof142007]

great video everything i hope it would be. ENJOY IT FOR ME

[@TThoMusic]

Sooooo cool. I'm truly inspired by this engineering marvel. I can't wait for the price to come down so that I'm able to afford it plus the high cost of living right now. This must have cost Apple so much time and money for them to have been able to make it a reality and I really appreciate everyone at Apple for everything that they do. Other companies are sleeping as usual, but not Apple. Can't wait to see their 2024 keynote!

[@MiguePizar]

I'm getting mine tomorrow, can't wait to try it out, thanks for the video. By the way, can you use your beta account to access beta's of the vision OS?

[@BrandonButch]

Nice!! I didn’t see a beta option yet

[@jfigueroa919]

You can I just downloaded VisionOS 1.1 beta 4

[@TheCoolioKidsPodcastDOK]

6:00 The smile of a child

[@yanlevin]

At around 8:25, you said that "most people would want to have their AirPods Pro or AirPods Max on". Does this mean that the AirPods Max fit on your head while wearing the Vision Pro? (Sorry if you mentioned this later in the video; I'm still watching.)

[@JayllenWright]

So nice

[@Ichiblox]

Do u. Have to pay extra for the dual loop band or does it come with it

[@frankfenn3883]

Waiting for a monocular version, since I only have vision in one eye

[@yamil.343]

I’ll wait for Vision Pro 20 😅

[@Nek977]

that's the future!

[@Leweise]

I purchased the 1TB & I'm loving it so far

[@obxurity]

welp. hopefully there would be an SE version a couple of years later lol. i'd definitely go to an apple store to check it out!

[@HeyNickJ]

The home screen is called Homeview. And then behind your right ear it’s called the fit dial.

[@Donkishop]

Hi, nobody talk about it for VisionPro but if you connect your Mac to VP I know you can't see your second physical monitor but is Mission Control working ? Can you create and see multiple virtuel Desktop in VisionPro ?

[@gibsonsgoblue]

It’s kinda weird apple didn’t incorporate the over the head strap into the Solo band. It looks so much better. Why not just have attachment points to add the over the head strap for when you’ll be using it for longer sessions.

[@DanG15803]

Brandon - I suffer from terrible motion sickness (such as a passenger in a car). I also tried a cheap VR headset from Amazon and experienced motion sickness a few mins after using it. Any feedback on your experience with this and motion sickness or dizziness?

[@BrandonButch]

I got sick with every VR headset I’ve tried. This is the first one that didn’t make me motion sick when watching videos. Time will tell, but so far so good for me

[@DanG15803]

That’s positive to hear. Hopefully remains the same over time for you!

[@aleksandrephatsatsia4530]

Hi Brandon, I found you also review xreal air several months ago, how would you compare those with vision pro in terms of coding, is sharpness of xreal enough to work with texts?

[@BrandonButch]

AVP is in another league. Far better than xreal

I’ll pass on first gen. for now. Price, weight, comfort, and need for corrective eye lenses. Awesome demo Brandon!

[@therealjb9791]

I was wondering if it had any accessibility for vision loss

[@Robert-Wilson]

Yea I still can see but I don’t think it can work properly with my eyes for the eye tracking. What I’m waiting for is what advancements could be made using this to help people with limited vision. It already crazy how the iPhone using its camera can help people with bad vision.

[@yarden25001]

YESSSS

[@deanshaw6588]

I have always been anti-apple but this has me interested since i wonder how it would set up eye tracking for people with a lazy eye since a majority of its features require eye tracking

[@MobileDecay]

Are you coming from the Quest 3 or 2? I can use my phone fine on the Quest 3.

[@BrandonButch]

Quest 3.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Apple uses the setup voice for Apple Vision Pro to redesign siri with a more interactive and lively voice architectural interface. AI is definitely going to significantly increase how Siri sounds, interacts with, and hears/understands you.

[@dan9700]

is it true the FOV is really bad and only the centre is sharp, thats worse than the quest 3, so how can it be immersive

[@BrandonButch]

FOV is not bad at all imo.
