Certainly an immersive experience

The funniest moment I've seen from any of the tech-press reviews of the Vision Pro comes from the video review by Nilay Patel at The Verge. During his conclusion section, during which he references Vision Pro's hand-tracking function, he slows down for a moment, looks levelly into the camera, and dead-pans, "Listen to me: do you want to use a computer that is always looking at your hands?"

Good D.E.D. material as usual, but I did notice:

Steve Jobs got flack for explaining....

That should be "flak" (without a "c"), not "flack." Flak is anti-aircraft fire; the implied analogy is that a person "taking flak" is akin to an airplane being shot at by gunners on the ground. A "flack," with a "c," is a human being—a P.R. professional.

There's also a subsequent reference to "Appel's rivals," which probably should be Apple's. Though Richard Appel does seem like an interesting guy who possibly has interesting rivals.

[AirPods'] simplicity and immediacy of pairing, ... potability, ... and reasonable balance between sound isolation and environmental awareness makes them one of the most pleasurable-to-use products that Apple has ever produced. 

I like Apple products as much as the next Apple Insider reader, but I'm pretty sure you can't drink AirPods. Or at least you shouldn't.

The predictions about the iPhone SE and iPad are much more plausible than the rest of this silliness.
