Testing out Mac ultra wide display mirror on Apple Vision Pro
I have been using this feature since the first day since the visionOS 2.2 beta became available. I have to say it works great on the MacBook Pro (M3 Max). A feature not mentioned in this article is that the visual sharpness of text in the Virtual Mac Display is considerably improved (compared to the earlier version of the Mac Virtual Display).
As this is in beta, not yet everything is fully in place. The background environments, when enabled, become fully opaque; so you can't see your physical keyboard as you are typing. So for now, I allow the pass-through.
For the future, I do hope that Apple will further integrate the AVP interface with the virtual desktop. I found myself wanting to interact with the virtual Mac desktop and apps as if they were running from the AVP using hand gestures instead rather than being limited to mouse and trackpad. It would be very compelling and intuitive to have a user experience where the desktop and Vision Pro seamlessly functions as a unified environment.
In any case, when traveling with the MBP I would be hard pressed not to take the AVP. -
Apple sells up to 180,000 Apple Vision Pro, says Kuo
Graham'sNumber said:
Again based on his unspecified inventory calculations, Kuo points out that with a "user base of over 1.2 billion active users... as long as about 0.007% of users are willing to buy... Vision Pro can sell out after opening for pre-order."
1.2B active users in the US........? -
Apple Studio Display only starts at $1599, and can easily climb to $2458
For what it's worth, I did come across a recent review of a tilt-adjustable stand that also accommodates VESA mounts and permits screen rotation to either landscape or portrait orientation in addition to position/tilting. Among other sizes, it is listed to support 100 x 100mm, which is what specified for the Studio Display VESA option.

This may be worth investigating. As I am looking at this, one further item is worth noting... the unit is designed for monitors weighing between 20 - 42 pounds and the Studio Display (VESA option) is 12.1 pounds. If I find other options that address this, I'll add a posting. -
Leaked M1 Ultra Mac Studio benchmarks prove it outclasses top Mac Pro
