Apple never even mentioned future possibilities in the healthcare, military, legal or financial sectors. They also never mentioned the integration possibilities with AI. That's where the real money is going to gush like a firehose.

Apple may suggest future possibilities at an individual user level, but wouldn't mention future possibilities with big ecosystems/ enterprises. 

If there is something in the works, Apple wouldn't mention it till it is ready and if there is nothing in the works, they wouldn't want to create any speculations. 

I don't begrudge Apple or Tim Cook for unveiling this now. It is an impressive piece of technology and seems baked enough for consumption.
I am looking forward to using it.

Also, a shout-out to AppleInsider. Their render more or less nailed the look of this device!

I had to read the headline twice because the first time I saw, "Apple beats are now free"! Wishful thinking, I guess.

They are. You don't even have to wait for the public betas, you merely need a free developer account to install them.

@zeus423 had read it as "Apple BEATS are now free", like the headphones.

"Everyone wants a real keyboard on their phone. iPhone will be destroyed by Blackberry."

This is not that. 

The iPhone had a clear cut mission. And it did it better than anyone else. 

The blackberry looked outdated as soon as iPhone was announced and it started dying shortly after iPhone launch. 

For every naysayer, there was someone who recognized the obvious. 

With the apple headset, it really doesn’t have any clear mission or purpose. Some other people started doing this and so here’s apples take. That’s pretty much it. The really strange drawback is that immersive entertainment such as gaming is absent  from apples presentation thus far. I guess they hope developers will find a way to create purpose for it. But Nintendo tried relying on developers with the ambiguous Wii U and ended up losing support and the product died an early death. 

The tech is neat and could be fun. But it doesn’t really seem to have an honest to goodness reason to exist, unlike the iPhone, the watch, or the Mac - or even the rumored car. 

Well, the Vision Pro made all other VR Goggles look like toys, mainly because Apple put out a new computer whereas others were busy selling gaming kits or "experience" kits.

It may not be in the "essential" category like the iPhone, but like the Apple Watch, I am sure it will grow.

I, for one, am really looking forward to getting this. I have been saving up for a top of the line MBP, but I am now pivoting towards this. Hopefully it will launch around the world this time next year.

For my (very casual) gaming needs I plan to get the PSVR2.

I can see it now, a music video with a room filled with orderly rows of vision pro wearers head banging away. 

Hmm, maybe a bit creepy, especially in B&W.

You've just described the next Rammstein video, if they ever make another one!!
