I think this is going to be one of those times when Apple should have either waited another year or two to release the AR glasses Tim originally dreamed of - or it should have started with less ambitious AR glasses in the first place - eg ones that let the iPhone do all the heavy lifting computationally.  The latter would have made it a lot easier to develop something people wouldn’t mind wearing in public.

Alas, Apple produced a super expensive engineering marvel that nobody outside extreme dorks would wear in public.  The author says that developers are excited about this product - I bet their business bosses aren’t: who would they sell those Vision Pro apps to?  There’s no market - at least not for another year or five.

I’d question your assumption that it needs (or should) be used in public. When desktop computers came out, nobody complained that they couldn’t be used in public. The use case was stationary. Eventually the technology grew to make that no longer necessary. I don’t see why this would be much different…for the immediate future, VR is for the home, not walking around town.
