I went to the Apple Store to use AVP for 30 minutes, which lives up to all the hype. it's an amazing experience. My thoughts were mostly about it as an entertainment device rather than an everyday computing device. Yes, it's hot, my face was sweaty after using it, and I felt dizzy for a while. This brings up long-term health issues of using a display strapped to your face and the ability to look away from something so close to your face to refocus your eyes from time to time. I will be curious to hear from users who have been using AVP for a long time. Meanwhile, I will sit on the sidelines waiting for a cheaper version that I can buy even cheaper when people return them.

Since Netflix is not on any or the other goggle headsets they are in no rush to be on an elite goggle product from Apple. I would think  once the product works and gets priced under 1k they may take a second look.

Too bad, I liked it but it had one major flaw for me and that was no website access, just the iPhone app. At least with Apple or Google I can read news articles in from my computer.

Right now it's just about getting the Vision Pro to developers. I still think Vision Pro will be stuck in a vertical market niche of gamers and entertainment industry. I ask my friends who say 'this is the most amazing thing since sliced bread do you still go to 3D movies?' Almost every reviewer so far says after wearing it for more than 30 minutes you want to take it off. it's too heavy. Maybe future ones will weight less but still you get used to the special effects and it's not special anymore just like 3D movies. Anyway the jury is out until next year.

'Killer App' People still think this is 1990 and the arrival of computer for the home. That was fine then but now, sorry there won't  be a killer app. The iPhone itself was a killer app. The AirPods were the killer app and web browsers & the internet changed the way we use computers. All Vision Pros do is take excisiting vertical market goggles and make them pretty. Same apps as on your Mac, iPhone and iPad just  presented in a 3D format. All the tech industry does today is try to get people to buy newer hardware, because there is a lot of money to be made in selling hardware. The VP use the same apps as we have been using for years. Was the iPad a radical idea, nope just a big screen iPhone without the phone. Vision Pro is just an another computer without an external display. As for the vertical market yes there will be interesting Apps but for the rest of us not so much. It will be niche market that when the price comes down Apple will dominate.
