Some of y'all sound salty AF.
Can’t wait for the inevitable “look at all of these bitter and shortsighted comments talking version 1.0 of visionOS and gen 1 of Vision Pro!” threads later on.
It’s like you really just want to farm drama and likes or something. Hating on something with so much energy is weird…

Mixing items that do, separately, some of the functions of another product… is not comparable to that product itself. Just like a Mac Studio with an external 16” display is not a MacBook Pro.
I don't doubt that Apple will make the device appealing somehow, just not with that hardware and for that price.
Because something that costs £3500 should be amazing not just a multimedia device
Don't forget to miss that one!
Agreed. But it's like saying you can spend $200k on an RV, or $200k on a car, a house, and a pop-up camper. Yes, the RV is a unique product, but for many people the latter would have more appeal.
And I think it seems amazing. Having the ability to bring all of my apps into the real world space, like my calendar pinned to my desk, my Freeform white board pinned to the wall, Safari windows floating in the room, with my Discord app down by trashbin… and still see my watch for health notifications and get work done in FCP or Word/Excel without the limits of a confined 2D monitor that can’t get any bigger, all without another device driving the system… while having a little golf game dropped in the corner of the room… it’s pretty awesome.
It would be if it wasn’t for a heavy headset, having the quest 3 after like 30min you just want to take it off; it’s not true you would wear this all day and not feel anything; our heads are not meant to have a heavy device on our heads
Good thing it’s lighter than a Quest 3, and basically every other headset on the market, especially the ones that don’t require a $1,500 GPU in a $800 PC and no battery to run wired for “just” VR in a single room.
The Vision Pro is not lighter than the quest 3 and at least the quest 3 doesn’t need an external wired battery pack, look I love Apple and have the whole eco system but this Vision Pro is not right and is not worth the price, maybe £1600 or something but £3500 is criminal
Pricepoint isn't criminal. IT's just so high end that announcements like this make some of us chuckle.
Just like if they released it on the Wii.
But it isn’t any better than quest 3, can’t game and yes it’s higher quality but doesn’t do much the quest is better for games and multimedia device. The Vision Pro doesn’t have anything to justify the price
Having just higher quality lenses for clarity doesn’t mean it is better or does more, if the fov is smaller and can’t game or do anything better the quest 3 can do then I’ll take that over the Vision Pro any day, not gonna spend an extra 3000 just for higher clarity and contrast as I, it’s about what it does
Anything close to $1,600 price point or that is lighter than Apple Vision Pro, like the BigScreen Beyond (once you add audio drivers, lenses, etc), still requires a multi-thousand dollar PC with VR-ready GPUs (with a zero-hour non-existent battery) locked to a single room. Comparing Meta 3, a fully subsidized device made by a data harvesting company desperate to get market share, to Apple Vision Pro, a premium multifunctional spatial computer being sold for a profit, is a just sad.
Apple Vision Pro is definitely lighter than Meta 3. And not having a battery strapped to your face is great. It not only reduces the weight (making it lighter than Meta 3, Meta 2, HTC Vive, PSVR2, etc), it also allows the device to be plugged in and charged without having the heat and tension of that battery on your head. It also allows 3rd party batteries, larger batteries, and other accessories without needing to replace or upgrade anything on the computer itself.
The fidelity of pass through, the fidelity of the screens, the weight of the computer, the ecosystem of millions of apps and your AppleID benefits (plenty more than multimedia, including Slack, Office, Cisco, and others), the fully integrated system with high quality, proven, SoCs, 16GB of unified memory (minimum, I expect more in a higher spec’d model), there’s nothing like it on the market. All of that, plus the low volume, is why it’s the price of a mid-range MacBook Pro.
Especially since it isn’t even clear how often they will be cycling this device. Will it be another annual cycle like almost everything else? Will it be longer?
Will it end up like Apple Watch Series 0? Where it was obsoleted very quickly.
