These come to the UK this month and I'm super interested in trying one, but not overly sure about buying one!

[westmcgee]

4:07 immersion isn’t gimmicky, imo.
It’s helpful when I want to send screenshots without including my environment or when I want to watch a movie like I’m in a theater, with fewer distractions.

[Jonathantuba]

I tried the Vision Pro at the Apple Store last week and was absolutely blown away. After the weekend considering, I ordered one and are picking up later today. As someone who spends half the year travelling, this will be invaluable.

[derrick]

I use this on flights, now a permanent part of my packing list.

[science]

appreciate the balanced, long-term review.

[KMoore]

I had the smash the subscribe just because that was one of the best tech intros I’ve seen in awhile. Well done.

[recepk.]

I got mine today (Germany)and when I have like dark environments, the bottom has these reflections you are talking about. It’s so annoying.

[Mat-eqmk]

I bought one that should arrive next week. I work with data and need multiple screens, but I spend a lot of time in hotels with my macbook. I'm hoping this can give me a familiar multi-screen setup I can deploy anywhere. Also, because I spend time in hotels and traveling, I hope to make use of the entertainment features. Lastly, my remote team uses Teams to communicate and I'll sometimes get 30 quick calls a day. I'm really hoping the avatar feature can help me make 'video calls' without having to find a decent backdrop, etc.

Super helpful video - thank you.

[_-mychannel]

Thanks for the honest review, it's been very helpful. Keep it up 👏🏼

[mr.pangetako]

I’ve been hearing from users that the hype is dead. They said they have used it for a couple of months and got bored.

[westmcgee]

I’m really glad to see the concepts of build quality, user experience, etc being addressed separate from whether a particular person should buy one.
A lot of reviewers miss this.
Prices change.
Products evolve.
Different users have different needs.

The initial iPhone release wasn’t for me. It cost too much and offered too little for what I used a smartphone for.

People new to the smartphone world didn’t care about those same things and so were all over it.

At the same time, many people claim the AVP is too expensive but I don’t hear most saying that about the smartphones they switch every other year.

The point isn’t to say everyone should buy one. I can speak for others.

But the prospect of diving in or not is more complicated than most seem to think.

But it will happen at some point in the near or far future.

[lenardz]

Appreciate the honest review. I tried a demo out yesterday and definitely came to similar conclusions. It’s a mind blowing media experience, but at $6K + $200 for Zeiss lenses + $600 for Apple Care. I can buy a very nice home theater setup with that. Granted no 3D, but it’s also something I can experience with friends and family.

[Kuhzander]

At the price point it seems like there are more cons and inconveniences when compared to the Q3 especially for the price. You tell me ?

[CanonPaulHamilton]

My first iPhone was the 4 because I didn’t want the bulky earlier ones in my life. I will probably get one of these but not for another decade until it’s equivalent to a pair of glasses. Thanks for the video.

[gbrown]

I had a demo in the Apple store and was blown away. I do think the ecosystem and apps needs to mature a little before I take the plunge.

[ChristopherCricketWallace]

I'm bummed there's no mag-safe on the power cable. And I'd like to get power from the Mac directly.

[NothingToSeeRC]

I saved up for this and by the time it was released in Canada and after watching literally every US review, I bought $5k worth of pizza instead. Will wait for the next iteration I guess.

[jamesthompson]

I'm watching this on a Vision Pro. It's pretty awesome!

[westmcgee]

Still a decent video.
I use my AVP daily.

Not one mention of capturing 3D photos or videos.
Just one of the reasons no one can tell everyone whether this product is for them.

[calvinblack]

5 months later and I still use mine everyday. Absolutely loving it for work and entertainment purposes.
