It's strange to read that from you given the fact that looking over this thread, you have been a cheerleader for its success even stating you would be interested in a next-gen release. We were all hoping Apple would have success with this product and I don't think it's a stretch to say that we...

I'm sorry. I should have included that https://9to5mac.com/2024/02/28/vision-pro-demand/

Great News!

Interesting... https://9to5mac.com/2024/02/25/heres-how-much-it-costs-apple-to-make-the-3500-vision-pro/ Apple certainly has room to lower prices on future models with cheaper materials and, perhaps if we dream, a little less revenue per unit.

That was one friggin' long review to read, though the best and most complete review I have read to date.

This is an excellent demo video There is no denying that AVP is geared toward productivity and outshines every other VR/AR headset out there for that purpose. As far as what Mark Zuckerberg has to say, I think he should have kept his envious comments to himself, but I'll wholeheartedly agree...

Josh, You bring up a point I had not considered... All Apple purchases are done via your Apple ID. If not at the point of purchase, then at the time of registering and accessing the device. Apple is probably keeping tabs on accounts that show an elevated amount of returns. I would think...

Allow me to get on my soapbox for a moment about what I perceive to be a rather disturbing problem that in the end, could hurt the honest Apple consumer... One of the reasons why Vision Pros are being returned to Apple is because there are people who bought it merely to experience the device...

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/14/24072792/apple-vision-pro-early-adopters-returns A great device like this needs gaming and more things to do with it before people become bored. In time, this will be an issue Apple will address I'm certain.

Sam, Happy that you had the chance to do a demo I am not remotely interested and I think that has everything to do with being a Quest 3 owner. I am not demeaning the AVP. It's a superior device. However, I can do everything that I would do on the AVP on my Quest 3 outside of being in the...

Agreed. I look at it as partly showing off. The thing about stealing Apple devices, some of them can be traced and/or bricked. Not sure if that is the case with the AVP.

I am sure Apple will improve upon this. It makes no sense to hide the most important input device while fully immersed. I spend about an hour each day being productive while VR immersed. I enjoy the experience.

Since when do I pay attention to anything you post ;) Sorry, that was a complete oversight on my part. Good video, though.

Found this interesting

Marquees has another video out from the weekend. He does a bit of comparison to the Quest 3 and confirms that the AVP is limited to one monitor window and you cannot use your physical keyboard in fully immersed mode.

Not-So-Favorable reddit reviews

Here's another first impression, though what is frustrating for me is that Apple limits the user to one desktop monitor. I can work with multiple on Quest, but I am optimistic this is something Apple will change for its future revisions

We should start seeing more and more reviews from the general public. I am guessing this guy bought his and this was not a review sample, but who knows...

They will. A few videos I have seen of people doing test drives while wearing the Quest.

Certainly not legal and probably a staged video

When you use "pass-through" mode you are bringing your real world into the virtual world. You can see everything in your room including your laptop and keyboard. However, when you go completely into virtual, immersing yourself in other surroundings, you completely block out the real world...

You can use the physical keyboard in "passthrough" mode but unless I am missing something, I don't see how it gets used in a complete virtual environment and that was my gripe. On the Quest, you create a portal in the virtual world that reveals your physical keyboard. The VP may have the...

This is good news

I had to skim through that article to get the specifics you were referring to. However, as I did write in my lengthy reply above, the Vision Pro is optimized for the Mac platform. The Quest is not. For that reason, working with a Mac is significantly better. That being said, there are still...

The Verge gives a more critical review of not only the Apple Vision Pro but also touches upon some of the downsides of VR in general, one of which is that it's very "isolating." https://www.theverge.com/24054862/apple-vision-pro-review-vr-ar-headset-features-price

After watching Marque's video, I have a much better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Vision Pro. For anyone interested, I thought I would do a comparison of the Meta Quest 3, which I have been using for about a full month. While I realize the Vision Pro is on an entirely...

Love the review by THE VERGE, who always does a phenomenal job. The lack of gaming and fitness apps is a big minus out of the gate. Great video. I love Marques. One of the best vloggers out there.

Thanks, Sam. About to sit down and watch this. Had no idea reviewers would have the product in hand already. Going to avoid iJustine as usual since there will be a lot of unnecessary accolades and complaints it doesn't come in pink.
