It is basically a fork of iPadOS. So it will likely support multiple users, but rely on external user management (e.g. more for work/school labs and not for home).
It was still odd to have both things so close together…
And when the iPhone was announced, how many kids did you imagine using one?
Depending on how much power draw the headsets have, the usb power outlets on the airplanes may be enough to extend the operating time significantly. Or you can pack a second battery.
I don't know what you mean by MOST, but United (I think now the worlds largest carrier) for example does not have USB power at their seats on "most" flights, other than in Business... there is usually 1 or maybe at best 2 AC outlets to use between 2-3 in coach.. I guess if one is buying a $3500 headset, they are probably not in Y, but rather in C or F, so yeah MAYBE USB is going to be available.
Yep, that's fair. Hopefully this is something that we'd see the price come down over time (perhaps a version marketed as just Vision with lesser specs than the Vision Pro selling at the time).
You mean for domestic flights, yes? Every International flight I've been on for the past 10 years, from steerage to business class on a bunch of different carriers all had USB and / or power outlets for the seats.
At the same time, if you can spend this kind of insane money on a toy (whose ONLY advantage would be as an immersive screen while flying on a long flight), you can afford first or business class.
I totally agree that it’s pretty cool. The price is way out there. I can find a lot of things to buy for $3,500. It’s another $295 tax in NY.I love it but it's too expensive! Outrageous. $3,500 without tax is alot of money.
I’ll buy one if the price drops to $999I love it but it's too expensive! Outrageous. $3,500 without tax is alot of money.
It's primarily designed to be plugged in to power.
I was really, really excited for this, until I saw that price. Waaaay too high for anyone reasonable.
I hope it is just USB-C. Connect it to a power brick so you can watch Avenger Infinity War without having to pause the movie.
I have children, which is exactly why I made that comment. Phones and cameras have already intruded on every personal moment of my life. For me, this would further destroy the intimacy of those moments. Do I appreciate pictures and videos? Absolutely. But we've reached the point where people are more concerned about remembering the moment (photos, videos) instead of living the moment. I'm blown away by the tech in Vision Pro, but at this point in my life, I need tech to get out of the way instead of inserting itself between me and the world.
Thoughtfully done, in usual Apple fashion. Overall it is what I was expecting, but some very cool smaller surprises. Very glad to hear eye-tracking and camera data is withheld from apps.
Side note- I hope it let’s you use QuickPath on the virtual keyboard.

Microsoft has built in batteries, but likely a heavier headset and similar battery life.2 hours of battery life with a battery pack. Only Apple can get away with this in 2023.
