AR pass-through is helpful for organizing stuff around me and still being aware of where I am. It’s definitely more appealing to me from a productivity and doing things I’d casually do on my phone/computer. Why? Dunno, I just wanted to see what using AR for that will be like.
Movies aren’t the highest priority for me tbh. Like I might use it for that once in a while but I prefer watching them with my partner or friends. It’ll be handy for flying though.
Sure, you’re right that monitors are cheaper and I do have monitors at my desk. Can’t take monitors with me as easily as I can a headset. Like if I wanted to work while riding with co-workers for an on-site, at a cafe, a hotel room, or from bed or the couch. I’ll look like a complete dork if I use it in public, but I would look like an even bigger dork when I take up an entire coffee table with two portable monitors.
While the Vision Pro is appealing to me, I can absolutely see why most people wouldn’t buy one. It’s certainly not a device for everyone and is unbelievably expensive. Worst-case, I end up not liking the headset and I sell it to someone for around what I paid for it.
Alright I guess but does that really justify $3500 (and more I’m guessing since it’s Apple you will need to buy something else, for example the $60 prescription lenses on quest 2 are more than $800 for the vision pro)
It’s def expensive and overkill for a headset. I’m just enough of a tech enthusiast that if something really seems exciting to me I’m willing to set aside a commission check for it. It helps that I did really well this year and got promoted too lol.
Yeah if you wear glasses instead of contacts you have to get corrective lenses for the Vision Pro. The preorder page said they were $149 for prescription lenses, but I got LASIK so don’t need em.
It really does have the “Apple tax”, especially with the storage price markups (my biggest complaint with any Apple product). But AppleCare for it is like $400 which is way more than I expected, so I’m thinking they might be selling them at a much lower profit margin than normal or even at a loss on the base tier. It’s like $100 for MacBooks usually.
I hope it doesn’t become like iPhone where they are used by everybody in America and they still don’t have much of anything over competitors like Android.
