  • Tim Cook: Apple Vision Pro tech is mindblowing, and will be too expensive for many

    How many times does he get the “spatial computing” buzzword in on average during his interviews?
    Not as often as Zuck drops “metaverse” in his.

    Ok, it's installed.

    It seems fine.  The new features are about as exciting as I expected them to be (which means they aren't).

    It doesn't seem significantly slower, so there's that.  As always with betas, the first thing you have to do is go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements and make sure you turn off everything.

    I haven't noticed any stability problems yet.  It's probably safe to disregard the dire warnings and go ahead.  I mean, I'm not putting it on my primary iPhone, but my primary iPhone is an 8+, so I don't think it'll even run it.
    iPhone 8 and x are no longer getting new major versions of iOS.

    this device will revolutionize pronography

    OnlyFans, VR edition

    beta (male) testers will be lining up around the blcck
    Doubtful that Apple will allow anything in their store, so you'll be limited to what can be delivered over the web.  And in that case I'm not sure that VisionPro will be able to deliver anything a whole lot better than what is already available.  

    Dimming your pronography and showing your eyes when a family better enters the room?
    I wondered about this also. They’ve now brought up pornography a couple of times, but never explain how it will be revolutionized with Vision. VR porn has existed for a while now, and it will likely be several years before any meaningful numbers are using the Vision to access it. And even then it will only be available through the web or potential 3rd party app stores. So, what the hell is this so-called revolution and how is it supposed to happen?

    It does not seem like a very Apple-y product, but that's not unexpected either. It's a first gen, and according to reports was intended for developers anyway. Three years out they may have something. At the moment it seems like it was pushed out to the retail market before it's fully hatched, and I'm not sure why altho I could guess there's some other nearly-finished products from potential competitors coming before the year is out. 

    No doubt some regular users here will rush to buy a Vision Pro anyway; after all, it's from Apple. By the time it's fully developed in gen 3 I would expect it to be half to a third of the current price. That's when it may capture my interest.  Or not.
    Not fully hatched? 
    It seems like they put a lot of love and energy into addressing all the shortcomings other AR headset suffer from. So I’m just curious as to what you need to see for it to be considered “fully hatched ”?

    Dude, it's gatorguy, what did you expect? If he said he loved it, we'd all need to press him to get a brain MRI, stat, to find the tumor.
    Right on. I’m not familiar with him or his brand of negativity. 
    You've confused realistic with negative. Apple may well have a hit on it's hands with future iterations, and if anyone can be successful with it, it's Apple. But it's not this version of it. In fact I don't expect this or even the next version to be useful for much outside of gaming and media consumption. Neither of those VR features are innovative, it's the traditional focus, but Apple is more likely than most to move this into compelling AR uses as 3rd party developers become more creative. 

    All that is simply opinion. Yours is too. It's a bit early to claim either, or neither of us is more accurate about how it plays out. 
    I don’t know why I said it that way, sorry. But I do agree that it will take a few models to gain mainstream success. As for the reasons you gave for it being not fully hatched…You can use that same logic with almost everything human beings have ever made. Evolution takes time. And money. But most importantly, patience.
