Vision Pro is definitely Apple’s next focus. I whole heartedly agree it’ll eventually replace the iPhone. I work at one of the Apple Stores, and you should see how much pressure they’re putting on us to make sure we get even something as simple as verbage down to a science when talking about Vision Pro. It’s going to take a few iterations, much like it did for the Apple Watch to become mainstream, but I think the crux will be when they add cellular to the AVP

[@eca3101]

The way I see it, Apple vision will not be mass market until Apple releases the non-pro version of the product. That’s when Apple really thinks their AR headset will break into the mainstream

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Big difference between wearing a watch on your wrist vs wearing a headset or glasses. Not everyone wants to wear a headset or glasses out in public while walking on the sidewalk or going up or down the stairs to take a train or a bus, etc. There's no way glasses will replace a phone and I say that as someone who pre-ordered the Apple Vision Pro because I'm an enthusiast.

This vid was such a roller coaster, it went from “new iPhone have new button” to “HUMANITY IS ENTERING A NEW ERA OF UNPARALLELED CONNECTIVITY”

[@iklxsss]

I completely agree with Jon's stance. As an employee of Apple and watching the gradual changes, it could not be more evident what is going on. I remember when Apple said their vision was just a slab of glass in your hand and they slowly began altering the state of the phone to prepare everyone for it. Now with Vision Pro on the rise, we can now wear our Apple Watch, Mac, and iPhone on our heads. In 10 years I can totally see something the size of glasses or even contacts replacing what we currently have. Even if parts of the hardware are contained in something pocket size connected to said glasses. I miss the days when people still followed Apple's line of thinking different. So many customers come into the store with this limited thinking that comes from a negative place and my job gets increasingly more difficult when trying to get them to open their mind and see things differently. Why do we hate change yet constantly talk about needing it?

[@southerncyan4098]

yeah, I definitely see the battery solution (in the near future) as being a sensible compromise. And certainly, the grand design will be unbelievably impactful on our day to day lives. I just imagine what it would be like to constantly see the time, it would change many things.

[@nicolasmontiel8075]

I remember hearing somewhere (probably fuh pah tuh) that Steve tried to give us an iPad but only had the technology for an iPhone in 2007 so that's why he started there. I agree with you Jon, Tim has a "vision" in mind (probably slim AR glasses) but does not have that technology available to him at the moment so he is starting with the Vision Pro. AR Glasses can 100% replace your phone. No more need to pic it up if notifications and the time show up actively in your vision through out the day. Who knows, maybe Tim is hoping he can get AR Contact lenses! That way people don't even know we are using them. How crazy would that be.

[@philipehusani]

Slim AR glasses is every ones vision... Lol. It has been in sci-fi movies for decades now and no one has had the tech to do it. If the tech does does become available, everyone would do it. Apple doesn't build any tech, they just get from manufacturers and have it assembled by someone else. If the tech is available, other design companies would also get from manufacturers and have it assembled. Apple is a marketing company, not a tech company.

[@fatguy9]

I think Tim wanted to cement his name with Apple by starting the headset because he will always be the CEO that brought it to market which is a pretty smart move

[@willr2461]

I don’t think phones are going anywhere anytime soon. But the other thing is for someone who has to wear glasses every day everywhere. They’d have to make smart AR glasses that can do everything you expect from your iPhone AND that are normal size and comfortable to wear all day long for people who need glasses just to get thru the day. Before you can retire your phone. Maybe they’ll have something smaller, better, for people who don’t need to wear them all day just to see, to drive, etc. And they can just pop them on as needed to access information or take pictures and then slide them back in their pocket. But for people who wear glasses all day, they need a better solution or just be left out of the fun. The future. 😂

Just to add to what was said in this video, with spacial video currently being limited to recording at 1080p I believe that should the ultra wide camera on the next iPhone models indeed increase its MP count to 48, that we will be able to record spacial videos at 4k. I'm also wondering if Apple allow the iPhone 16s to record 8k video as im sure they would then have the bandwidth to record it...

[@mrlightwriter]

I agree completely with the iPhone 16 being able to record spacial video at 4K, since the ultrawide camera is rumored to have 48MP, like you said. However, another important point that needs to be addressed is to increase the frame rate from 30fps to 60fps. However, I do believe it will happen with the iphone 16 pro, the Apple way.

I think you are spot on Jon ... here is the future I see. 1. Your Apple Watch becomes the center, meaning it takes the burden of being your wireless connection to the world. 2. Vision (or a version of it) becomes a pair of glasses that can both correct your vision and be sunglasses ... while being the main computer you interact with regularly throughout the day. 3. Only when you need to do more interaction with data that a Vision doesn't most effectively support ... does the user switch to something else ... a small tablet (which is what the iPhone migrates toward) Mac, etc. That allows that future small tablet to be thinner as well ... since it doesn't have to do the heavy GPS and wireless connection duties. - Yep ...
