Why Apple’s Vision Pro is the Next iPhone (Analysis)

In today's episode, we take a deeper look into what Apple's Vision Pro could mean for the industry. It's not the same class of product as an iPhone, people aren't going to walk around with these on their head, but the headset is the IPhone's 3D successor.

What’s really cool to think about is that right now this technology and device is the equivalent of those huge brick mobile phones in the 80s. One of these days we’ll just have smart glasses that do all of this stuff but are the size of normal glasses, and maybe even smart contact lenses that totally bypasses any need for a wearable external item altogether. Pretty intriguing stuff, imo.

@@wiacco Sure, it is now. Check back in in a few decades and we’ll see where we are lol. I know for a fact people have toyed around with the idea so it’s not entirely science fiction. I mean, people actually do have ideas about how smart contacts could be done but obviously the tech isn’t there yet. But you know what else, fifty years ago it used to also be physically impossible to make flat screen ultra HD TVs too because the tech wasn’t there yet, but here we are with everyone having multiple of them and they are cheaper than ever. Just wait around long enough and there will definitely be some sort of smart contact lenses.

There is this large problem of the size of available materials. There are physical limits in what you can do with silicon and circuits. They can only get so small before the physics stop working. Perhaps one day we will have contacts that can display a signal beamed in remotely. But you’re never going to fit circuitry and power into something that small, it’s physically impossible in the universe we inhabit.

I tend to agree with the isolation concern but also see this as a positive for certain segments of an aging population. In another 10-15 years I expect my mobility to decline from aging (I’m 75) so having access to a device like this in my final abode will actually provide me with an array of virtual experiences to keep my mind active. I enjoy travelling but during the two years of being pretty much grounded during COVID I discovered KZbin walks through many cities and riding buses through others. This gave me some replacement for my wanderlust until I could get back onto a plane. This device will ensure I will be able to continue experiencing travel even when I’m confined to a (god forbid) a nursing home! And by the time I’ll need such a device (not an early adopter) these will have come down in price and bulkiness…and I’ll have collected enough in dividends from my Apple stock to pay for it and the content. As I won’t need a TV screen to watch movies, that will be a savings too. Pretty sure we boomers are a large enough potential market in the future, and we do have the money to pay for it.

[@Tikewak]

Indeed first gen is always super expensive

[@lammyjammer6670]

When the iPhone came out there were dozens of touch based phones out running Windows Mobile. The difference is they were using resistive screens that relied on pressure to detect touch which made them a bit harder to use without a stylus. A few models were already using capacitive screens but didn't have the software to take full advantage of it because Windows Mobile was pretty pedestrian in the regard (it was really designed for keypads and directional pads). The iPhone was designed with touch first in mind and the software was optimized for it. Apple didn't reinvent the wheel with it. It just delivered it in a neater package. The same applies to this headset.

[@Sammysapphira]

They take existing tech and sell it for thousands more than it should cost. So innovative. We've had hand tracking in vr for 5 years now. The quest and index even have it natively with an install.

@@Sammysapphira Even though they harped on not needing a controller watch how they'll release one later on as a pricey add-on. Not all VR experiences lend themselves to hand tracking. I honestly can't see this taking off for productivity. There's really nothing a VR headset adds in that space to improve on. If this thing doesn't build a solid gaming ecosystem it's dead in the water. That's the ONLY use case VR can justify itself for and it's ironically the one thing Apple didn't even bother to showcase during the keynote.

As someone with multiple VR devices gathering dust, this is why it likely won't have mass take up: • Heaviness, no one wants to strap a bulky item to their face for hours just to do work. I'd even argue many women aren't going to wear something heavy on the face for long periods that could potentially stretch/pull down their facial skin • Battery life, if it requires me to charge it every 2-4 hours, no thanks • Price point, even if they release a cheaper version, the above issues will still apply. Why would I drop $2000 on a wearable device that isn't as portable or convenient as an Apple laptop?

[@brandonmacleod]

I have to wonder how many people who are hyped for this have actually worn a VR headset before. The issue is the size, weight, and price. The use case for VR headsets today is mainly gaming but gamers usually game for a couple of hours, not a whole day. If this is really going to replace the smartphone then users would have to continuously wear it and I just don't think most people would be willing to do that. Alot of people say that VR headsets feel like a brick is being strapped to your head and in order for the Vision Pro to be worth the price, users would have to wear this brick all the time. While I think the technology might eventually replace smartphones, I just can't see this particular product being the replacement and I don't think we'll see that happen for at least 10 years.

[@megaprimegamer1184]

I am hyped and I will preorder one. I don’t have much experience with vr despite being a big gamer all my life. Reason is that the vr devices and content especially sucks ass imo. I don’t have the same standards as I did when I was in my teens. I demand solid products. This is the first ar/vr product that has me excited since I first saw oculus like 15 years back? To answer your question, I don’t think anyone claims this is replacing smartphones right now. In 15 years? Definitely. Look at iron man. This is step in that direction. You’re absolutely right this isn’t a dedicated gaming device. But despite with the abysmal Apple Arcade suite, this is still now the best vr gaming device. Trust me I wanted to get into vr gaming but they all looked like a gimmick. Not due to their own fault but the hardware was severely lacking. I’d rather play a ps5 with an oled tv and it’s far superior. The games will come. I absolutely yearn for a sword art online level experience. The 2 hr battery is what it is. It’s the level li ion batteries are at. The weight is will get better over the years for sure. Nobody wants to talk about the things they got right though. The oled display, eye tracking, low latency, memory recording, 100” theater mode. I mean the quest 3 does Netflix at 480p lol! On this you can sit with Yoda and watch Star Wars!!

[@brandonmacleod]

​@@megaprimegamer1184 I think you're going to be very disappointed because this is not meant for gaming. Apple still looks down on gaming and doesn't even want to refer to this as a VR headset. I'm also concerned over the lack of controllers. Personally, I don't see VR as a gimmick and I think it's very good in general. I assure you that I don't have low standards and I do believe that this is not the only good VR headset on the market. I have to wonder if you've even tried any other headset or just blindly dismissed them because they're not up to your weirdly high standards. Hope it's worth the $3500.

[@megaprimegamer1184]

@@brandonmacleod Like I mentioned I don’t think gaming should be the focus for any headset yet. We can barely run games at 4K 60fps on a computer that sucks 1000W. That said we have an iPhone running a current gen game with same assets and everything already. It’s not wild to assume Vision Pro 3 would be able to run the same resident evil at 4K. The other headsets don’t interest me because while they solve the optics and even perhaps quality issues for such an expensive device they simply would lack the robust software now and in the future, groundbreaking hardware, customer support and everything that comes with a high volume manufacturing product. All others feel like concepts. There’s a degree of confidence with this.

This product is a step forward, but perhaps its biggest success is that it seems to have attracted a lot of developer interest now that they have something that demonstrates what will be possible in the not too distant future. It will likely be of less interest to the general public but it is more about defining the framework and capabilities of future worn devices that will implement and support the technology on physical designs moving closure to those of the common spectacles or sun glasses.

[@maestroinabox]

it does more than that -- it actually makes people who are otherwise not interested in XR (other than nerds and gamers) excited about this.

[@WallaseyanTube]

​@@maestroinabox I agree, the product is exciting. A lot of work has gone into this and Apple have certainly taken VR forward. However, it is still someway from being generally accepted - as public responses to the launch demonstrate. I suspect the form will evolve considerably before it becomes generally accepted but this product is certainly a big step forward.

Will be really interesting to see how this plays out. Apple’s product I think is the closest to actually being able to reach its goal of revolutionizing the market. The quality looks amazing.

[@zyiezyie]

Apple getting into the industry will surely boost investment into VR/AR/MR tech at large, which is great, but at it's current price it's too expensive for mass-market adoption. If it, despite the price, manages to be at least somewhat successful, and Apple shortly after comes out with a much reduced cost version (say $1,000 or preferably a bit less), without reducing the quality and functions too much, then I think the stage is set for these types of devices, from lots of different manufacturers, to quickly become common place. I would love to see these work with PCs, not just Macs, and to be useable with for example Steam or to play VR games that's been released for Windows. Apple has never been that serious about gaming, and even when they've made some minor hints towards moving in that direction in the past, nothing has really come off it, so there's no reason to think that this time will be any different in that regard. I think, first and foremost, that games and porn, will drive mass adoption of this type of devices, and not office work, and Apple has never been supportive of the first two categories I mentioned, so unless they change their stance on that, or allow them to be used even outside their own eco-system, their impact is likely to suffer from that. I don't think the average office worker would want to wear a heavy device on their head all day rather than just have a normal screen, and most managers would hate not being able to see if the people working under them are on facebook, watching netflix, or doing the work they're actually supposed to do... Once these devices becomes as ubiquitous as smart phones are today, that's when I think the group Apple is targeting in their marketing material so far for the Apple Vision Pro, is going to start really using them in their daily work in a more common place fashion. They're targeting the last group that will adopt this technology I think. If the popularity of this headset is poor, it can set the entire industry back a decade, as investors could pull out if even Apple fails to succeed in the space.

[@chuggernaut23]

The reason I do not believe it's "the next iPhone" is because of the portability. With my iPhone, I can carry it with me all day and access it whenever I need. The Vision Pro is a device that will sit on a desk or shelf until you are ready to use it. It isn't an "on the go" device. It has its place and will bring big changes, but it will be a much slower adoption than what the iPhone was.

[@valberm]

Exactly. I saw this happening with Google Daydream. Nobody's talking about it today (it was unfortunately discontinued by Google). I still have the Daydream goggles in a drawer. At the beginning, I was super excited and used it frequently. But as time passed, it felt a little bit inconvenient to dig that rig out, switch to the Daydream mode on the phone etc. At some point I just forgot about it. It didn't help that Google didn't keep improving it, though. I see exactly the same fate for Apple Vision. People will be super excited when they start using it, but soon the battery won't last long enough; soon they'll want to share with other people what they are looking at right now ("look at this picture", "look at this on this Website, what do you think?"), then they'll see that this thing will get in the way and, without even noticing it, they'll use it less and less, to the point where strapping it on the head again will feel like a chore. They'll skip using it one day, then two, then before they know, they'll have forgotten to use the thing for an entire week. It will be useless by then.

[@FreestyleTraceur]

The "next iphone" doesn't literally mean the next mobile computing device. It just means the next revolutionary tech device that isn't just for industry professionals. Like the video said, it's kinda like what personal PCs (both Microsoft and Apple) did for computers that used to be complex machines only for trained technicians and engineers. Laptops weren't even really revolutionary (in the acute sense) since their sophistication was very gradual and happened alongside increasingly sophisticated desktop computers and smartphones too. So portability isn't necessarily a requirement for this type of tech to become "the next iPhone", just think of it as potentially "the next iMac" if that helps. (Also I'm not saying I agree that it's going to be as revolutionary as the iPhone or iMac, I'm just explaining that the video never said portability was the reason behind the comparison.)

The reason I know it isn't the next iPhone is because ColdFusion is making a video about it 😂

@Spin Lock > PDA’s are the same as smartphones LMFAO, after saying that, every opinion you have is irrelevant and you should keep it to yourself.

[@_spineless]

@Spin Lock The AR/VR headsets that you are thinking of that "dont cost 3.5k" are not industry-level devices like this one, even though thats not what it markets itself as. Anything even close to the 1000 dollar range has nothing in comparison to what this headset is trying to do lol, so dont compare those devices to it. The Vision Pro is literally packed with industry-level tech that in execution outmatches everything else in existence in the AR and VR space, and AR/VR solutions that even come close to this caliber are all over 5000 dollars. That says a lot lol. This device is innovative because it is pushing more advanced tech (industry level stuff) into a package that FOR ONE is portable, which in it of itself is a wonder because of the sheer amount of power inside, and TWO... is more affordable to the general population than any other vr headset in it's calber is by a longshot. Its vastly more advanced than something like the Meta Quest Pro, and, while it is (significantly) more expensive, it is paving the way for future technology in this space to be more affordable as time goes on. Hope this helps you understand, dont just get fired up about something like a price just because of not looking deeper into WHY it cost what it does :)

But not for general industrial use - its far too limited to special surfaces with its possible Viewpoints, which makes it similar to a monitor - with the addition of perfect 3-D. Its a perfect 3-D Screen, but not a Holo Lens successor. Holo Lens can do AR everywhere in and on any sorrundings. Apple has taken a way more excessive approach: It completely replaces your real world view with a real time recorded image of your sorrounding. But it can alter it completely as well, which makes it brutally disconnected from the real view. Its strenghth is the perfect resolution, contrast and responsiveness to your body movements and awareness of sorrounding events. It could color all your surfaces in your flat in psychodelic colors, while you could still move around as if it was their real looks. Or make a completely artificial sorrund view, with the obstacles in your flat as Fences and Glass Walls you cant pass through, but look through.

That can grow because of this new product line, if it gets more afford- or desireable, but it will not conquer the world like Android of Windows did. Why? Because of the separated and rather closed apple hard- and software system. As a consequence it excludes many crucial computational fields - like experimenting nerds, historic grown complex software suites, niche usecases, low cost usecases. Apple has grown to be one of the most valuable companies in the world by doing that, so that's not a shortcoming, is part of their success formula. But: That leaves ample room for other companies to compete in that usecase space, following the lead of apple once again, but without the restricting constraints. Microsoft may seem to be the underdog, but I'm not so sure. As Ideas and Usecases for AR grow, the companies and nerds will quickly take a closer look at Oculus, Tilt and Hololens. Why? Because it gives them the freedom to develop on a way more scaleable, more affordable system and starting on humble ideas. Something Apple would not accept in their confinded App quality control that cares more for quality of execution, than on promising, but in the beginning barely usable ideas. the Apple Vision Pro will help Oculus, Hololens and Tilt by its mere existence in the high price consumer market.

But you need to actually solve a problem people have, which this doesn't unless you go looking for problems to solve, aka it's just not intutive enough as to what it's for. Absolutly a cool demo tech, and one day AR will be there. I just don't think a pair of skiglasses full of tech is it.

It will replace everything else and be the only thing you will need to own to do more than you do now and it will be cheaper!!

I watched this video on my phone on my own in my flat where I live on my own. I often spend hours alone on my iPhone or iPad or watching my smart TV. I don’t think it will make the ‘isolation problem’ any worse. (I also sometimes get my iPhone out and interact with it when I’m out in a real world environment with friends.)

[@InnocentBoyV]

Anyway there would be realistic AI characters in future and many people may prefer interacting with AI rather than humans

[@bubba842]

​@@InnocentBoyVwhat a sad future that you envision.

[@prokras8609]

Well, at least you are still remember that you are in your own flat. With this thing you may even forget where you are..

The 3D video thing creeps me out a bit. imagine taking a 3d videos from your kids and 30 years later u open it again and see them running around. i would cry.

Dumbest and least humorous take I’ve yet seen on this channel. It’s like calling a computer a doorstop.

[@alfworks]

If it is that good as it appears from reviews, then 3500 is actually not that bad - iPhone costs more than 1k and it is a mass product with lot less technology involved. I’d definitely like to try it :)

I paid $3350 for a TV system in 2010. This price is actually pretty good.

When I bought my e-bike just after Quarantine got real, ALL my friends thought I was absolutely insane to spend 1700 bucks on an “electric” bike….we now have a pretty active riding club. The difference was they were blown away after they rode one.

Beautiful for night vision uses and targeting and shooting too.

I'll be interested when someone can do it on a contact lens.

[@well7885]

May be in 25 years that tech will be ready

[@YISTECH]

It'll happen.

[@benjaminjako]

Would it be possible to use it for night vision? Considering that there are a ton of sensors on it and that the processors should be powerful enough to compute all that data in real-time

[@hungryalien]

not sure if those sensors and cameras see that far. most likely within a short range of perimeter for those sensors.

[@benjaminjako]

@@hungryalien From the demo at WWDC23 it seems like it can take in and view the entire room, som don't think that would be the constraint
