Would you buy an Apple Vision Pro? Especially with the announcement of the upcoming VisionOs 2?

[NovusTM]

I love my Vision Pro, watching movies in this thing is such a game changer. I can’t even see a reason why to go to a movie theatre anymore. The only problem I have is that I don’t have a Mac so I’m currently waiting for the M4 Macs so I can finally have to e full ecosystem

You forgot the most important group: Developers.
They are the one that will make this platform grow, and the first that come may make a lot of money.

Loved the video! Question for you: What program are you using from 1:09-1:13 in the video? Thank you!

Regarding FaceTime, it’s true that the person can look a little strange when calling someone on a phone. However, FaceTime calls from AVP to AVP are fantastic. It’s one of the best features of the AVP, and you feel a real connection with the person you are talking to

Use it everyday! Definitely better than Quest. That’s been on my shelf since week two.

You just earned yourself a new subscriber, I was engaged. See you at 100k subs.

Great video👊🏾

I wonder how Logic Pro runs with the setup to make hits

I love my Vision Pro. To me, it’s an iPad Pro replacement on steroids. The display quality is unlike anything I’ve ever seen for movies/entertainment. Hand tracking and eye tracking just works. Love the Mac integration. Vision OS 2 really also improved a lot of things. Excited to see where this goes next once Vision becomes more affordable.

Killer apps for me are

Apple TV + (watching movies replaces home theater exp)

Dinosaurs app (comes free) - incredible demo of what it’s capable of

What If - Marvel - amazing story telling experience. Exclusive to AVP and pushes what is capable

Vision OS 2 - the entire experience is the killer app. It’s just different.

I only wish it weighed less (and cheaper of course) - comfort is a huge concern for many. I had to buy an adapter to use an extra solo knit strap for the top of my head from Etsy. Game changer for comfort. Honestly should be included.

I just subscribed. This was my first video of yours I’ve seen. Your video was great

First, let me say thank you for your “review”. And I agree with a lot of what you said. But the main thing is it’s not for everyone. And I 100% believe it’s because of the price. I love my Apple vision, Pro, and I use it for hours per day in my work. a couple tech companies, one focused on support other focused on software. I am a highly mobile individual and I don’t get the benefit of buying a 42 inch curved Samsung display and taking that with me wherever I wanna go. With the Vision Pro I just pack and go. And if you think that’s expensive, I think the best case of division pro is in tandem with a MacBook Pro. However you don’t have a MacBook Pro and you splurge for the Vision Pro, you won’t be disappointed if you take it for what it is… It’s an early adopters foray into spatial computing. I don’t mean any negativity behind it and it’s actually a good thing. I say early, because the visionOS software is not mature at all. For example, the Photos app has no ability to edit the photos. It’s just a little quirk but once you start utilizing spatial computing in a meaningful way, you understand just how amazing this is. I am blown away by the Fidelity, and of course connectivity. I am a 10 year plus user of the oculus quests. Ranging from the oculus rift to the go, to the quests 1, 2, Pro and 3. And I know a lot of people get upset when I say this, but it’s the truth. The quest is a toy. It’s an Xbox replacement. If you don’t believe me’s reveal of the quest two and quest three. Combine both presentations. They’re probably about 2 1/2 hours and all 2 1/2 hours -30 seconds is dedicated to video games. Sharing things with the quest was a nightmare. It was either nonexistent or you had to use Facebook or a messenger that wasn’t compatible with messenger. With the Vision Pro I can just drag drop anything into my standard Messages app and text it to someone’s phone number. I mean, just at functionality alone is worth it for me. Being able to call someone on a FaceTime chat and share my Vision Pro screen with them as a game changer. Almost every of my clients have purchased multiple vision pros because they see how I use it.

What people don’t understand about Apple is they’re never gonna give you the highest quality spec number, but they will sell you an experience. Every person that I talk to that have purchased an iPad that don’t use. It had purchased an iPad that only has Wi-Fi. When you purchase the iPad with cellular, it becomes ridiculously useful. The same as said with the Vision Pro. If you have no idea why you purchased it, then you are not an early adopter, you are just a person that has money to blow. That second item you said it’s for engineers…. You’re on the right track, but my experience it’s for people that really want an infinite screen, without cluttering their set up. When I do get a chance to work from home, I don’t even use a monitor anymore. It’s actually too constricting. And it’s interesting as people have complained about their only one in the Vision Pro for their Mac. That is such a weird thing to complain about when you think about it from this perspective. on your Mac you’re running Final Cut Pro and it’s on a massive 50 foot screen but an open space to the left. You have your text messages and an open space on the right you have your email and above the Final Cut Pro screen and open space you have Safari… and your mouse and keyboard from the MacBook travels between the MacBook screen and the other visionOS free standing applications. Why do you need multiple monitors?

And now with visionOS two, being able to take any photo and make it spatial is a sight to behold. I have converted so many pictures with this method, and it gives depth via computer learning (AI) and it’s actually quite a shocking thing to see.

I mean, I can go on for days about this product, however. I think the wrong people are buying it because I hear similar situations. no you’re not gonna be able to go swimming with it, you’re not gonna be able to do HIIT workout because it’s just gonna absorb all the sweat and it’s going to stink, But it’s a productivity monster.

But again, thanks for your review, and you may be one of the people that it’s not for, But it’s not going to have an immediate impact on your average consumer, the way AirPods did… oh wait. The AirPods were hated as well. Every YouTuber couldn’t stand them because of the fear of how they would look to other people. But people with courage, started stuff out and utilizing them in public, it gave the followers the ability to be OK with being seen with it in public. Being able to watch whatever you want to or only your eyes can see it, means you can do anything, including reading and editing documents containing sensitive, eyes only content. Which I do multiple times a week. And using my phone as a hotspot, significantly increases my ability to use this device. I don’t have a tremendous amount of content on my TikTok because I work a lot. But if you want to see some of the things I’ve done with my Vision Pro, here ya go. @batnificent

Let me know what you think

[fendermon]

Thanks for focusing on the functions, and who it is for. So many people just tripping over the price. It's clearly not for everybody. Nice job :)

[catt]

Really good video. You have a new subscriber and a like!!! Very high quality and well reviewed. I’ll be watching out for you!

[James-lwgi]

Couldn't care less about face time, wearing it outside or fitness. I watch a lot of media by myself, rather than spending 10k AUD on a 100” OLED, or get this!

[wuffgang]

is this not recommendable as daily driver for monitor replacement in order to work in bed? always perfect screen position whichever head position.

[MikeLikesChannel]

I bought mine for $2100 cash… at this price, I’m happy. At $3500 — not really.

[rohittkrr]

is it worth buying for media consumption specially 3D movies. I'd like to see star wars and other films with light sabers reflecting on water

[threadoflife]

Thank you exact 3 questions I wanted to know after my demo.

[HoopsTV_Tech_Tips]

This is like something from the future! 🚀

[Drucio]

hows the capisco chair is it worth it??
