I can watch HD movies on my $200 TV without strapping a thing to my face, and 3D movies have been the Next Big Thing for 75 years now.
It was not mentioned if phone calls could be made with Vision Pro without an iPhone, so I assume not. I was hoping so. That way the wireless providers would offer the Vision Pro as a device for monthly payments. I could save for the Vision Pro but I also would have to save for Apple Care + with Theft and Loss which I'm guessing would be $400.
if Apple makes 200,000 to start… they will sell every single one.
between Apple “fanboys”, early adopters, developers etc… there is a massive market for these despite the price.
Given the Pro moniker and the price, this is obviously a consumer. This is priced around the same as MS' HoloLens but with significantly more advanced technology. This initial product is going after that market. IOW, the enterprise and enthusiast market. The non-Pro version is rumored to launch 1.5 to 2 years later.
No one said the Apple Watch was too expensive, only the steel and gold models.
I think personally, I would spend maximum £2000 on one but I expect a £3800 price tag once it hits the UK.

What are you talking about? It’s pretty close to what other headsets are offering with worse tech.2 hours of battery life with a battery pack. Only Apple can get away with this in 2023.
The web page says “23 million pixels across two displays”, which would correspond to circular panels with a 3826-pixel diameter or to square panels with 3391x3391 pixels.
I don't know. Offering expensive upgrades just doesn't seem like Apple.
"A pair of custom micro‑OLED displays deliver more pixels than a 4K TV to each eye — for stunning clarity."
Yeah, I feel as if Apple would have had much more traction introducing a set of AR glasses, tons of useful stuff you can get out of AR glasses that can be worn most of the time. Maybe segmenting this into 2 devices, one VR with some AR, and one dedicated AR. For those who haven't used a VR headset, they get REALLY uncomfortable REALLY fast. They weigh heavy on the forehead and eyes, because they block light they don't let in much air so they get very stuffy and sweaty, and call me vain but they wreak havoc on your hair. Take a VR headset off and you look like a racoon with a perm gone bad, not exactly conducive to those social events.
Yea this feels doa.2 hours of battery life with a battery pack. Only Apple can get away with this in 2023.
The demo showed it connected to Mac and assuming the role of the monitor. Surely they can make it connect to a Mac Pro too.
I'm surprised that they couldn't fit an adjustable diopter into the lens system like they have in binoculars and many camera viewfinders! 🤔👀

Bigger than what? Mac has barely held a candle to Windows lo all of these many years.
Let's see how this comment has aged, I dunno, let's give it 5 years.
Can't believe they had the chutzpah to straight up call it EyeSight.
The technology is impressive but Apple has lost touch with reality. Extremely expensive niche product, it will undoubtably be cool as hell the try out, but real-world usage will not be there. They went "all in" on VR, and because of the time involved in development, (7 years?) they are not where they need to be with this.
I was really expecting an AR product, not a VR product, and I think they could have done much better with a less complex, lighter, better-looking and cheaper AR product.

I don’t think Apple expects this to be a blockbuster from Day 1, but they do appear to be aiming to have the best device out there. Hopefully enough first adopters take the plunge so that the technology improves and becomes more affordable.
They aren't expecting it to be a top seller. This generation is for the early adopters so that they can work the bugs out and figure out how to make future versions cheaper.
High-end VR headsets should allow users to stream VR apps from PC to headset, and as of now, we have no idea if Apple will allow that.
Cook couldn’t have predicted a war which lead to a recession. The product has been in development for years and it’s right to release it and let the market adapt rather than wait any longer.

i bet you that battery will cost around 200 bucks.
