Why Apple Vision Pro Is a Game Changer for Remote Work | The Product Launch Show #04

[@jamiekin]

the new Ultrawide screen mode when you connect your laptop/mac is a killer feature

[@balsieber]

I'm loving it. Although I find the 'ultra' wide a little too much so I just stick with the regular-wide

[@DuneCatalog]

Hahaha another justification of 4k mistake.

[@CT-vm4gf]

I remember when iPad was released, a friend told me I should get one. I said I have no use for it. Now I use an iPad every day.

[@balsieber]

It re-invigorated my love of drawing and handwriting. Sadly, I've barely picked it up since I got the vision pro

[@toututu2993]

Ipad is basically a Iphone without phone and bigger screen. I have a Samsung smartphone and have no use for such but AR/VR headsets like Vision Pro and others are something powerful that had yet to reach its 2% potential. Even at its 1%, it can already do more than anything flatscreen device can do

[@urbanvr]

If they are hating on the Vision Pro, either they never tried it, or don’t know what they’re doing to benefit from it. Period! Love my AVP!

[@DuneCatalog]

love your avp the way you want it but people are not stupid. frankly, you're just saying it because you failed to return it. Vision OS don't have enough apps, without ample apps, avp is ruined. keep using your avp to justify the 4k spendings, hahaha. go watch movies (alone), go browsing, connect your mac (but make sure you're near an outlet to charge the battery. All of that, strain your eyes and face. bwahahaha

[@DROCIVXX]

Or they can’t afford it, people hate what they can’t have. 😂

[@DuneCatalog]

@@DROCIVXX I can afford it but not stupid to buy that vr with very very few apps. Infact many did buy it then return them because they knew it's not worth it. Very few apps and very few developers willing to create apps for vision os. And that's how this product is doom to fail.

[@joelmbryant]

@@DuneCatalog I agree with you in principle. The AVP is overpriced. The truth is that if they sold it for less, more people would have bought it and kept it, and there would already be more apps for it. That being said, your posts don't demonstrate that you have a thoughful discourse to add to the conversation, but rather it demonstrates that you are a troll.

[@DuneCatalog]

@@joelmbryant real talk dude not a troll. Tell me which are not true? AVP is overpriced with few apps, few developers willing to contribute and multiple returns after 2 weeks of purchase. Is that a troll or real talk? Judgemental 🤣😂😁 Sheesh.

Did you buy it already? I hope not else... Hahaha, another willing victim of vision pro.

[@fabianmahnke]

With Duet Display you can even Remote Desktop your Mac. It supports eyetracking as well, sound forwarding and of course also your other input methods (mouse, trackpad, keyboard). With this you even don’t need to carry your MacBook with you. Just leave it connected to WiFi and wallplug on your desk. 👍🏻

[@balsieber]

that's incredible

[@hierrogm]

As a designer ultra wide is a game changer, with air pods 2 in …my creativity is booming …I work at home along with my son and wife ..they’re customer service execs. So it gets loud here sometimes …when I put on my AVP they know not bother me and that I can’t hear them …although it’s wierd to get a text from my wife who’s 10 ft away from that Lunch is ready …😂 great vid doood ..subbing

[@balsieber]

Thanks brotha! Yeah I have the same experience working alongside my girlfriend

[@djb6313]

I had a Quest which I tried to use to work remotely but the image quality wasn’t what I needed to work all day. The AVP on the other hand hand is an absolute game changer for working remotely! I don’t have to sacrifice my workflow just because I don’t have my Home Screen setup with me. The AVP lets me do all that you said and more. I love it!!! The AVP image quality is so good.

[@balsieber]

I'm glad you're having a good experience with it! It's a game changer.

[@camilobustamante1437]

On may this year I bought a meta quest 3 because I wasn’t willing to spend all that money on the avp before having at least some experience with VR/AR. I bought it with the intention to use for work and productivity as I was starting to travel around. Then in August I went to Miami and went to an Apple Store and tested the avp and I just loved it. Last month I finally bought the avp and it works so much better. Like you said, being able to have some extra apps open on the avp and being able to interact with them using my mouse and keyboard is amazing.

[@ShaiYammanee]

I completely agree. It is a fantastic device for people on the road. I travel consistently and am always in hotels, or trains. Having a mobile work station like this is amazing

[@DuneCatalog]

@@ShaiYammanee like it's the only vr you can use for that purpose. Can you play tennis or do exercise with that vr? That vr can't do many vr can. Just saying

[@enterdata]

It is an amazing and revolutionary device. There is nothing like it and it’s worth every penny.

[@toututu2993]

Quest 2/3, and other AR/VR headsets are absolutely amazing. Not just how well they works but the untapped potential is undeniably massive that no other device came even close at all. I had to admit I'm one of those who can't buy Vision Pro but the resolution and its face scan as well as eye tracking and UI is one of the best that you can buy on the market of this writing

[@DuneCatalog]

Buy gaming laptop + huge tv + quest 3, you'll be surprised that you still have change.. Be smart and not a willing victim of this flop tech.

[@StormBurnX]

@@DuneCatalog I love the dedication to being an absolute moron in these comments, man! Keep it up, it's always a good laugh.

[@kevinr7216]

Wait are critics hating on Apple Vision Pro??? That’s wild it really is a game changer with a capital GAME CHANGER for remote work like you said. An incredible product down the road no doubt

[@balsieber]

Yeah, people just love to slam the fact that it hasn't sold as much as apple had predicted, especially since they announced that they aren't making any more of the first gen.

[@gautamdey4509]

This is exactly how I use it. The biggest upgrades for me was the ultra widescreen and the audio from mac routed through the avp. The thing i would love to see is iphone mirroring.

[@MarcusWarcus40]

We already have iPhone mirroring. Unless you’re talking about something else. Since vision os2 avp can act as a receiver for iPhone

[@gautamdey4509]

@@MarcusWarcus40 We don't have Iphone mirroring in the AVP; it's only there in the MAC and you can not use iphone mirroring, when using AVP for mac missoring, as sidecar only works with one device, it seems.

[@fraxinus.practicali]

Spot on about productivity. I’ve taken this around the world as my portable office. It’s also amazing for prepping for presentations and live events.

[@balsieber]

I love hearing how people are using it in their daily lives!

[@enterdata]

It will replace many if not all of the other devices. Even the television sets.

[@anintelligenthome]

You get it Bal! Congrats on posting this. Those on the thread are also experiencing the future of productivity as well as immersive experiences from entertainment to learning sims. Apple is not failing...far from it. I teach Digital Media at the university level and always make a comparison - the Macintosh Cube was seen as a failure, and sales numbers wise that would be true, however, the Mac-mini is the direct result of everything that was learned from the Cube and it is one of the greatest selling PC's of all time. So, this V1 effort is off to an excellent start and will only get better. Keep this material flowing :)

[@st.g]

I agree with you that this is going to be the way forward; it just can't come soon enough. I've been looking at these 57" curved monitors but this is really what I want to do work on.

[@balsieber]

Go for it man, you won't regret it

[@Blessed372]

I totally agree with you. If your main use case is productivity/virtual office this is the best product out there, hands down. The ultrawide screen in vision OS beta 2.2 has made things even better in regards to productivity. I use it every day for work and love it. No regrets Thank you for discussing the productivity advantages. This is one of the few videos that discuss this.

[@balsieber]

totally agree

[@Jonathan.Reichel]

Have you tried the Meta Quest 3 for comparison? It seems sort of similar at a much lower price?

[@balsieber]

@@Jonathan.Reichel I haven't but it's not an option. It doesn't matter how much better the specs are on an android or how much cheaper it is, I'll always use an iPhone. Same goes for AR/VR

@@balsieber Can you check whether Vision OS's Screentime has Downtime and Always Allowed features like iPhone and MacOS?

[@Blessed372]

@@Jonathan.Reichel I used Meta Quest for about a year prior to going to AVP. Specifically, I used immersed. I would say AVP is better overall when it comes to productivity. I haven't gone back I do think the meta quest is better for gaming

[@NeilLavitt]

I enjoyed listening to your views. I’m enjoying using the AVP for work and pleasure and I’m definitely one of those who suits this product. I don’t think it’s a failure as for that to be true, Apple would have a large product inventory that it couldn’t sell. While they are not disappearing off shelves, they are selling enough to sell most of what they are making. Also, if it were a failure they wouldn’t be making an M5 version that will be a spec bump of this design. This will appear late next year probably. This is IMHO the first of a range of products and even product categories under the Vision line. A lighter MR headset with offloaded power perhaps and AR glasses in the more distant future. Irrespective, while they may replace phones for some, I doubt that most will use them as any more than a phone, Watch and computer accessory. Vision Pro I believe will transform into a professional MR platform used extensively in medical, design architecture and scientific visualisation disciplines while still providing people like you and I with a super high quality MR experience. Like the Mac Studio. Interesting times.

[@balsieber]

Yeah I agree. I don't think it's going anywhere. Apple is playing the long game

[@vverdun]

I would hate the end of this product even if I not own one ! (I would love !) this is the futur computing.

[@mixmix1487]

100 percent agree on all points. I think most people are hating on it based on price. Which is actually not a bad price for what it does and its size. Being mad about the Vision Pro is like being mad at a fish for not being able to walk.

[@SimpleLife2.000]

not just price, vision pro lacks apps... it appears half-baked product. Here's a, simple apple math. High price = less features

[@WigganNuG]

But if you think about how much you would pay for an 80"inch high quality TV that many have said also brings back 3d movies, and people who've sworn they hated 3d movies, actually fell in love with it on vision pro because they are TRUE binocular 3d. Then add a super high quality productivity monitor like you're talking about. Also, ALVR is out now which turn the AVP into a PCVR headset, and AVP is partnering with Playstation to get the PSVR2 controllers to work with the AVP, and there is another company that is testing controllers for the AVP as well.

[@bforce909]

Been a happy vision pro user since day one.

[@dfilion3]

Exactly the video I was looking for. But is the text clear enough to do some professional coding? Because on the Quest 3 it's not there yet.

[@balsieber]

[@2112ZOZ]

Really enjoyed this vid. I adore my AVP. I still get a "wow" reaction every time I put it on.

[@MarcusWarcus40]

I avoided buying a Vision Pro for so long. Bought a quest 3 7 months ago and told myself it’s good enough. “Apple is smoking crack if they think I’m gonna pay that much for a Vision Pro!” Well I finally gave in last weekend and got a Vision Pro. Yes. The hype is earned. This product is amazing. If it broke, I would find a way to get another one

[@DoubleSwee]

Finally someone talking about the vision pro for users who use VR related gadgets. Thank you for this video! Also after a while is your eye strain bad or good compared to a regular computer monitor? and is their settings on it for that? Great video!

[@BXR_Archives]

I increased my AVP's FOV by removing the fabric light seal and using just the two rubber pieces on top of each other.

[@balsieber]

That's a great hack! I might try that!

[@AlejandroCaicedoPUJ]

The thing is that I can do all of this in my quest 3 while being more confortable. The only actual posible deal breaker is that the vision pro has higher resolution screens. But in my experience the quest 3 screen are sufficiently clear even for reading small text for long periods of time. So I wouldn't be able to Justify it costing 7 more than a quest.

[@balsieber]

I get it. But, for an apple-power-user, buying an android instead of an iPhone is not an option, no matter how much cheaper or better the specs are. Same goes for Quest

[@AlejandroCaicedoPUJ]

@@balsieber Why?

[@balsieber]

@@AlejandroCaicedoPUJthe ecosystem - everything works together flawlessly. If you’re someone that uses Apple native apps to run your life, it’s a big deal. Also, I can only speak for myself but cost isn’t that prohibitive - if you’re used to driving a Mercedes you’re not going to switch to a Toyota solely because it’s 7x cheaper.

[@AlejandroCaicedoPUJ]

@@balsieber I would if the Toyota drove better and/or had better features (many do). However I understand the vision pro might be the better headset for you since after all it has the better display of consumer vr headsets so it works well as a monitor. Maybe you should take a look on immersed, which is an app specially designed for working in vr with multiple monitors of pretty much any resulution you want, and I've heard it works pretty well on vision pro, and much better than the apple native solution. Also, they're releasing a heatset soon which is gonna be specially designed for virtual work, with better displays and lenses that the vision pro, so if it's not to crazy to try something without an apple logo you could give it a go.

[@MarcusWarcus40]

Yeah I said the same thing. I have a quest 3 and scoffed at the idea of paying that much for a Vision Pro. Had the EXACT same opinion as you. Finally gave in and got one last weekend. It’s totally different experience. The visuals make it so much more usable and the OS is so much better. I’ve found the apps to be far better quality too

[@realdawei]

This is excellent

Hi, how is the eye strain? I am planning on using the AVP with word documents and curious about the font clarity.

[@balsieber]

No eye strain. It's a pleasure for reading

No eyestrain for me, but text isn't as sharp as it was on the 4K and 8K monitors I've used.

[@BXR_Archives]

@@aarondavis9208 The MeganeX Superlight 8K with 27MP (versus the AVP's 23MP) OLED microdisplays and DP 1.4 will look even sharper.

[@Hot.sausee]

I really love your take. However, as far as it being a failure, I would strongly disagree. For anybody complaining that it is expensive, it is not for them. What Apple did was sell their developer kit to all of the most dedicated Apple enthusiast. Version one was never meant for mass adoption. Where it is extremely successful is that Apple got one into the hands of all the app, developers, and instead of just making it for the developers, opened it up to a small user pool of enthusiast to test and give feedback on the apps as well as the operating system. If you look at Apple vision as a developer kit, it is a resounding success. Also, I have one, I do not travel, and I absolutely love it. But recognize it really is not for everyone.

[@balsieber]

I totally agree! It's a developer kit first and foremost.

[@Hot.sausee]

@ and at that, a relatively successful Dev kit. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond :)

[@WigganNuG]

its "Dev kit"-ish; in the industry most Dev Kits are at best super mid, and normally super garbo and buggy AF. This thing came out the gate a pretty damn polished experience. Its "Dev"ish because of design issues making it heavy and lack of apps and needing feedback from user's on exactly how its being used.

thank you for this video! i have always been curious about using the device as an extension to the macbook monitor to enhance productivity and glad that you shared your experience on this specific point. one question though - how is the battery life holding up? how long is each charge to 100%? for my work, i can take a break every 2, 3 hours or so, but would need to resume again shortly. keen to hear your thoughts around the battery. cheers!

[@balsieber]

Glad to hear it! Battery life is a little less than 2 hours, you definitely want to have it plugged into your Mac or to a portable battery. It's not ideal but I don't even think about it anymore, I just always have it plugged in

[@kayicho2202]

@ ah! that resolved it! thanks a lot!

[@Madeonipad]

A lot of people around me say the Vision Pro is a flop and it’s dead but I strongly disagree, I just like it’s not for everyone especially at that price point. It’s a game changer in productivity I have tested one and even done a demo in one of my videos. The tech is insane and it will only get better. Apple is definitely working on a more affordable version. Great video

[@beachball62]

Whats it like as a monitor for a windows laptop?

[@davepubliday6410]

Didn’t they sell a half million of them? Wouldn’t that mean they made a half billion in profit on them? Any other business making a half billion profit and selling a half million units would be hailed as a winner. Yes, they are slowing production, but they are still available for sale and prominently placed in the shops. So….

[@dprecocious1]

Not if it cost 10x “profit” to develop in the first place.

[@sharonb.9128]

Great video! I genuinely appreciate this video. Most “Tech review” channels are run by apparent idiots whose only adult job seems to only have been KZbin! The constant complaining about gaming and pricing while simultaneously calling the device a failure at its release is utterly clueless to Apple’s intentions for this product. Apple itself referred to the AVP as the FUTURE of Spatial Computing. It’s been evident from the outset that Apple is committed to this endeavor for at least the next 2-3 years, if you understand how they operate. They are likely 2-3 years ahead of the current device, and they are using early adopters like yourself and developers to gauge whether they are on the right track. One of the things I’ve noticed Apple investing in is the development or acquisition of creator tools that make it easier to create immersive content, such as cameras and photography software.

[@balsieber]

Yeah, it's really just a matter of making it more affordable and comfortable, then the mass market will pick it up

[@jdtransformation]

Really appreciate this perspective, as I've been curious about. Question: I understand you can create a large *size* screen, but what about the QUALITY of the pixels. I work with massive spreadsheets, code, etc, and the resolution is important for me. I enjoy my 5k Studio Display, and have had concerns that the 4k (/eye) of the AVP spread across more virtual 'screens' would be sub-par. Any thoughts?

[@balsieber]

I recommend you go to the Apple Store and see for yourself. I can't answer that for you because I've only used a 4k screen and to me the quality in the AVP is so much better. I'm a designer

[@ThomasVanderWal]

I picked up a used AVP for this purpose after trying it a few times at the Apple Store. Pixels are not noticeable at all. Reading text on it is really good quality. I have a MBP Max and the AVP quality isn’t to that level, but text is crisp and clear. I have a few system mappings that are large and the AVP is great as an extended monitor for expanded screen space that is really clear. The AVP has a 4k display for each eye. As stated go to the Apple Store for a demo. it may take two, one for the regular demo, but they will also give custom demos if you tell them ahead.

[@SimpleLife2.000]

Try searching... "Top failed tech in 2024" or "Flop tech in 2024" The critics are right.

[@bmontedesign]

Great video, Bal Sieber! Thanks for sharing your perspective on the Vision Pro-I can’t wait to try it out. Unfortunately, it’s not available in Portugal yet. I wanted to ask if you think it’s on par with the Apple Studio Display in terms of screen quality? I’m a product designer as well and use a Studio Display for work. If the Vision Pro is as good as the Studio Display, I can only imagine how incredible it must be for productivity. I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially since you’re also a designer and likely value the same things. Thanks again, and congrats on the great video!

[@balsieber]

I had an Apple studio display as well and I'd say the two aren't comparable. You can't really compare the AVP with any normal real-world display, it's such a different experience. AVP is a new class and while it technically may not be 5k, it's super sharp and massive

[@johnatkins8012]

You really need to check out the Annapro “head strap”. It makes the Vision Pro very comfortable to wear. Total game changer for me. The V1 Annapro was great, the V2 is even better.

[@ryanlindner8665]

Is the suntan around the eyes because of the Vision Pro?

[@balsieber]

Ha. No, it's not. I think that has something to do with the lighting

[@diogolsq5295]

The Quest 3 is closing the gap in terms of productivity environment while being 1/6 to 1/7 of the price and offering more comfort with the right straps. The AVP is the best out there, but it’s harder to justify this price for a product targeted at a niche market. Ideally, it would thrive in a market where everyone already has VR headset experience. The reality is that most people lack experience with VR. You’re trying to introduce a new medium while charging over $3,000, which is not a strong strategy. Poor analogy, but market-wise, it would be like trying to sell fancy smartphones in an era when most people don’t even own regular brick phones because they see even those as expensive.

[@balsieber]

I agree with all of that, I would just point out that for a power-apple-user, the quest is not an option no matter how good or cheap it is. That would be like buying an android instead of an iPhone because it's cheaper and the specs are better - not happening

[@diogolsq5295]

Not really. It’s not a closed ecosystem. You can connect your MacBook Pro to the Quest via companion apps for the Quest 3 (e.g., Remote Desktop, Immersed, Virtual Desktop, etc.). Since your MacBook Pro serves as the connection point to your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, it functions similarly. Granted, you won’t have native app integration with the Apple ecosystem in your headset, nor the wonderful UX of macOS. However, this is a con that most users can easily work around. The Quest also has additional pros, such as access to a wider range of apps and functioning as a standalone videogame console.

[@finalomega8894]

Heck yeah🎉

[@brentrbell]

[@rogerb6378]

A huge flop, even if influencers say otherwise.

[@SimpleLife2.000]

[@frederickvan]

Thanks for making this video, you articulated exactly what I think about the AVP. The device, in it's current incarnation, feels very much like Meta's Orion glasses - an expensive proof-of-concept for early-adopters, that will usher in the *real* killer device in a few years. If they'd been able to launch the ultra-wide display feature on launch, we'd be having a different conversation.

[@savvazaicev]

But it doesn't have as high a resolution as a regular 4k monitor.

[@balsieber]

This is kind of the main point in the video. There are dozens of negative things you can say about the AVP. “But it’s not this”. “But it can’t do that”. Etc… on and on. But if you’re the target user it’s still totally worth it and it’s hard to describe why to someone that’s stuck on the price or the specs. It’s so clear and immersive, I would take the AVP over a 4k monitor any day, no contest

[@savvazaicev]

@balsieber I get it, for traveling it's good. But if you at home it's better to use regular monitor, it's much clearer. With current resolution you forced to work with large virtual monitor and move your head a lot, so all that amount of space not that useful.

[@balsieber]

@@savvazaicevI guess. Have you tried it? It looks hyper clear to me at any size

[@savvazaicev]

@@balsieber I haven't tried it, but I have 2 other vr headsets and dive into AVP optical stack a lot. Problem is not only in resolution, the lenses themselves can resolve only around 40 PPD. We need a breakthrow in optics to achieve at least 60 PPD with same lens sizes. For reference regular monitor from the usual viewing distance is 90 PPD.

[@savvazaicev]

[@rikachiu]

I use it for everything. My surreal touch controllers are coming and I can't wait to replace my Valve Index with the AVP for VR gaming. Whenever I travel, I use geforce now to play my games. There is no better 3D movie experience on the market for home consumers than the AVP as well. Now with the super ultrawide display, using my mac on this thing has been an absolute priviledge. I truly can't wait when apple fully integrates apple intelligence to this and with third party LLMs and their app agent control, this will revolutionize how we compute.

[@DuneCatalog]

Mr Siebel, Stop justifying your 4k mistake, CRITICS are right! Vision pro is top failed tech in 2024. Nothing beats a laptop for a work from home purposes and this vision pro is not and never will be a game changer. Again, critics are right and even voted your vision pro as top/most failed tech in 2024.

[@rubengarciajr]

I want an apple vision pro, but i travel to peru and colombia and i don't wanna be THAT guy when i go to coffee shops lol I will get robbed lol

[@TransitAndTeslas]

There’s a reason why it’s a Vision PRO.

[@mateoconk]

My issue: for that price, it should include a Mac inside it. It should be a Bring Your Own Keyboard device with the power of a Mac. Maybe the internals to do that would make it too heavy? Put some in the battery pack.

[@WigganNuG]

It literally IS a Macbook pro on your face dude: Its has M2 processor, as well as the V1 custom CPU for all VR stuff. And when you connect to your Mac computers, its turns your headset into a PCVR, so now your using the power of your MAC PC, so you don't even need the M2 on board the Vision. The thing is literally the most powerful MR headset ever made.

[@ruzaroos]

​@WigganNuG The OP is saying it should just run Mac OS software without needing the Mac at all. This is the same truth of the iPad Pro. Apple makes hardware capable of replacing the Mac but keeps limited OS's on them to maintain the relevance of the Mac. Same rational for not putting Stage Manager on iPhones connected to monitors. Under Tim Cook, they innovate to the extent it doesn't affect sales of another product. He probably fought putting iTunes on the iPhone to keep iPod sales high.

[@kerrypulliam]

I would agree w video. Great for traveling.

[@chaijamesyt]

Imagine AI+AVP

[@roki6467]

First of all, lets be honest. The majority of the complainers are internet personalities who bought the device with every intention of returning it within the 2 week return window, so they could yap about it on their channels. Most of those people are gamer's who own second rate devices like the quest. I bought my apple vision pro the day of release in Canada and love it! I would go so far as to say it's been the most exciting apple product I've bought since the release of the original iphone. In all honesty, I had issues with it when it first came out but will say without hesitation that apple has addressed every issue I had with the steady stream of product updates it ports to users. Hands down my favourite tech!

[@Solo2121]

I've been using a quest pro for over 2 years now for work (quest 2 was not good enough). So I think you mean VR/AR is a game changer for remote work. If you wear a quest pro there is no way you'd think the AVP is comfortable. But I do think Apple is way ahead on the software side, I use immersed to have 4 55 in easily readable screens but it requires that the quest has an internet connection which is stupid but it's the best for quest. Apple needs to commit to productivity for the next version and make it light, super comfortable, and lose the battery pack (just let the macbook charge the headset like you can on quest). I'm very hopeful for v2 but there is a lot of competition in this space.

way ahead in software? the vision pro lacks essential apps. the only good about this product is the resolution. but work from home using this heavy vr and with less than 2hrs of battery, really? Nothing beats the laptop with external monitor(s) and would cost less than $4,000.

No, a Pimax or an XTAL is a Cybertruck for your face. Lol.

Isn’t this what happened with Apple Watch when it first came out? I think it’s premature to call curtains on it….

The vision pro is crazy 🤪

"A Flop" I know right, I mean, who doesn't have USD $4000 sitting around the house to play with?

OMG, is that white panda eyes mark on your face because of using vision pro a lot?

[@toututu2993]

Vision Pro is actually successful for kickstarting the new category that will be the future of technology. It doesn't have to sell as much as something that people already used to and know, it is to give people who bought it a taste of what's to come. If Apple isn't gonna release Vision Pro sooner or later, they will fall behind in technology and Meta will be the only monopoly of tech device which I don't think anyone wanted it to happened.

@@toututu2993 Worthless intellect level? Hard time typing? Hahaha you're insulting now and is that the best you can do? Insult or personal attack is a manifestation or admission that you loss the arguments. The facts is, the vision pro is one of the flop tech in 2024.

The critics are totally right. 😂😅😊

Every one is wrong. Right, got it.

[@DuneCatalog]

The problem is, how many are the right person like you? It appears that more are not the right person hence returned the avp during the return window. OS with less apps will never succeed, just saying. But the true problem lies with its ridiculous price. Enjoy your avp right person.

Very wrong title, critics are right!!!!

[@chrisdurrer6508]

Well, in other news. Apple just announced today its on a different path to your vision Bal. Its discontinuing the vison pro due to poor sales.... Sorry dude.

[@balsieber]

That news actually inspired this video! People are saying it’s over, but they’re just not making any more of the first-generation devices. They’re not giving up on the device completely, though. They’re still planning to launch a new one in 2025 or 2026. Here's a quote from Tim Cook: “At $3,500, it’s not a mass-market product,” he said. “Right now, it’s an early-adopter product. People who want to have tomorrow’s technology today - that’s who it’s for. Fortunately, there’s enough people who are in that camp that it’s exciting.” “Obviously I’d like to sell more,” the boss added. “But there’s a limit to the number of faces this version of the Vision Pro will be on.”

[@chrisdurrer6508]

@@balsieber Yes, well said. Im really hoping they find a way to pack most of that tech into an affordable headset because frankly i want what it offers!

[@SimpleLife2.000]

you always insult people, is that the best you can do? the critics are right. why don't you search "failed tech in 2024". Usually, vision pro is #1 failed tech. You're insulting the critics because you know that the critics are right and you loss the arguments.
