Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers
Apple designed it for one person only. The majority of people need prescription lenses. So how do you use it for education, training, or assisted skills when the device is pretty much fit for one person only? Anyone with glasses can't put on VisionPro and see the AR image clearly, since Apple designed it to require special lenses if you need glasses.MisterKit said:AVP can be a huge success even if it never becomes a huge consumer success. The possibilities for education, training, assisted skills, are staggering.

THIS! The iPod solved the digital music problem, and improved on the Walkman. The iPhone solved the bad smartphone devices in 2007. The Apple Watch kinda solved wearables, but almost all developers have abandoned the Watch, and Apple pushes it more for fitness than having a 'killer app'. AR/VR has been a dead market for years. Apple calling it Spatial Computing is silly, it is AR. Vision Pro is an answer looking for a question. No one wants to wear goggles and Apple is going to have a hard time convincing people to wear goggles to run apps. And the $3500 in today's economy is out of reach by most consumers. Apple only made 180K of them, so that is telling. It is a niche product that most won't be interested in.designr said:
People keep making these comparisons and it's odd. Things like iPod, iPhone, iPad and Watch addressed existing markets and existing use cases in new, interesting, and vastly improved ways. The market and use cases for AVP are much less clear.igorsky said:After the Apple Watch came out I remember seeing articles up to two years later proclaiming it a flop. Not everything is an overnight success, including the iPhone. -
Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch
A 25 minute sales pitch. So it is like getting suckered into a timeshare purchase.
Yeah, Apple has a lot of convincing to do. No one has interest in the AR space, and $3500 isn't going to convince anyone for running iPad apps in 'space'.
The iPhone solved a problem. This solves nothing.

The best Apple Vision Pro productivity apps at launch
You don't use VisionPro with your Apple products. You can mirror a Mac image to VisionPro, but Apple will likely restrict that to Apple Silicon Macs only. VisionPro runs iPadOS apps, not macOS apps, so you will download those apps to the tiny 256GB storage in a $3500 pair of goggles. It is mainly a stand-alone device.emoeller said:I'm rarely confused with Apple's products but I'm not even sure if I can use Vision Pro with any of my current Apple products (two intel MBP, intel iMac pro, 2018 iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro). If that is the case then can I use VisionPro at all?
2024 will be a BIG Apple year for me as I intend to upgrade to the new iPad Pro, and replace my iMac with a Studio (and in the fall iPhone 16 Pro)- but I won't do that until the M3 comes out for as I need the graphics upgrades for my business. I also plan on registering again as an Apple Developer as I think there will be some exciting opportunities with Vision Pro.
While I understand any Apple silicon should work with the Vision Pro (and I have none) - for myself I need a very expensive hardware upgrade for my work and it would seem that Apple would want to make that available prior to the launch of Vision Pro. -
