Well if this replaces a tv, monitor and a game console, then the price is justified!
A $3,500 virtual movie theater. So here we are. 
I saw a commercial. We don’t need to get that deep.
Pretty decent commercial. Certainly beats a cyborg packing a suitcase while (presumably) not looking at the suitcase.
Apple are doing a sneaky job of making that cable look almost nonexistent in their promo material.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this product line evolves as it targets people who aren't rich or irresponsible!
Or it can free up the existing big screen TV when you send your partner to the guest room to watch something you don’t want to watch.
I notice that they are starting to promote the “lay back and put screens on the ceiling” approach fairly heavily. Which makes sense because that’s almost certainly by far the most comfortable and possibly only way to actually get through a movie with that Facehugger on there.
Really hope they’ve already gotten the memo to ditch that front facing display. Would solve so many problems, and it doesn’t currently appear to be solving any problems, and it is causing a lot of them.

So based on this ad, VisionPro is meant for dysfunctional couples who want to avoid addressing the issues in their relationship by hiding behind their gadgets. Got it!
Mmmmmmmm debatable. I don’t think this one does replace those things. All of those things have been refined over decades and are inherently multi-user.
To say that it replaces them means those things that you already have you would feel comfortable simply collecting dust or maybe not ever buying another one of. If you honestly feel like this first generation Vision Pro would cause those things to become obsolete for you, then yeah. I don’t think it’s there yet.
And I don’t think that’s unfair to say, because the iPhone really did completely replace the personal computer for millions of people. People still have computers, but a lot of adults don’t, and a lot of kids have never even seen a traditional one outside of school.
I’m not saying this will never happen, but I don’t think we’re close yet. Maybe ten years. Took the iPhone a while too.
I mean, is that not a huge market?
Wait for the 6GS it’ll be way faster
It’s hers, of course. She’s getting ready for work.
World’s already kind of a dystopian nightmare. People might as well have blinders on when they’re lost in their phones. They already act like this, that ship has sailed. Just wait until we’re getting direct brain interfaces. Cause it’s coming.
Absolutely horrible. A couple, one scrolling on, one in a virtual world. Is this the vision? The ad is disgusting. Horrible.
Thought it was a decent ad. They’re saying even tech illiterates can get used to it, with just fingers and eye tracking to control it.
The thing is, wouldn’t the poor guy be better off with an iPad?

This is the saddest video I've seen from Apple so far. I wish this was like a prank or something, a parody. This is what Apple wants people to be?
Steve Jobs era was an era of Apple getting people closer together. The best example is Facetime. How does this remind you of that era? It's literally making people growing apart OK. Horrible.
Damn. I wasn't really looking to buy one but you may have just sold me on it. Marketing should have leaned more into that approach.
"Apple Vision Pro. Because without it, you may have to talk to / spend time with your real family."
Apple also: Designs a half-hour introductory session so people don’t use it wrong.
Are you open to changing your viewpoint if given the opportunity to actually try the product?
