... And it was obvious from day one with Vision Pro that Apple poured everything it had into the headset. It looked nothing like the competition and the experience immediately outstripped anything you could find on Meta Quest and HTC Vice headgear. ...
Even if some ideas seemed ill-advised, I couldn’t shake the impression that this was a revolutionary step in mixed reality, VR, and computing. I felt that way for months, right up until after I finished my Vision Pro review. ...
There was, though, the reality of my daily life. When I wore the headset at work, I’d get looks. Some were intrigued, others smirked and may have been thinking, “Weirdo.” At home, well, I don’t live alone, and some family members thought I was being downright rude when I put on the Vision Pro and shut them out. I started to look for times when no one was home, and I could spatial compute in peace. ...
I know how long and hard Apple worked on Vision Pro, but sometimes it feels as if Apple passed along the price of a decade of development. ...
What Apple failed to achieve so far in the business market is inspiring consumers to want to do what they did with the iPhone and bring their own tech (BYOT) to work. I haven’t used a company-supplied smartphone in years. My iPhone is my personal and business phone. Vision Pro will succeed in business when workers demand that companies let them bring theirs to work and use them at their desks.
That, of course, won’t happen until Vision Pro’s price drops – and by a lot. ...
Eventually, we’ll remember this first year fondly and know that without it, we would never have arrived at what I expect to be a truly transformative, wearable computing experience.
