First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good.
First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good.
After a roughly 30 minute demo that ran through the major features that are yet ready to test I came away convinced that Apple has delivered nothing less than a genuine leapfrog in capability and execution of XR — or mixed reality with its new Apple Vision Pro. To be super clear, I’m not saying […]
Early impressions sound like Apple may have actually pulled this off. Here’s what The Verge had to say:
Was all this made better by the wildly superior Vision Pro hardware? Without question. But was it made more compelling? I don’t know, and I’m not sure I can know with just a short time wearing the headset. I do know that wearing this thing felt oddly lonely. How do you watch a movie with other people in a Vision Pro? What if you want to collaborate with people in the room with you and people on FaceTime? What does it mean that Apple wants you to wear a headset at your child’s birthday party? There are just more questions than answers here, and some of those questions get at the very nature of what it means for our lives to be literally mediated by screens.
I definitely agree with that. I’d like to try this but I don’t know if I’d ever want one.

Definitely cool, but the price is wayyyyyyy too insane, even by Apple standards
This is the first initial Pro enthusiast release likely. They'll have future affordable options probably around $1,000 mark (maybe with cellular?)
Also, it's for devs. It was presented at a developer conference, after all.
But even the devs groaned at the price.
I bet being MKBHD would be the best job in the world. You get all this stuff for free and then make an insane amount of money talking about it on camera.
