Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not

Apple’s long-awaited entry into the world of computers you wear on your face is here. Apple claims that the Vision Pro, a VR headset that starts at $3,499, is the beginning of something called “spatial computing,” which basically boils down to running apps all around you. The Verge’s Editor-in-Chief Nilay Patel answers all your Vision Pro questions. #Apple #Technology #AppleVisionPro

Which is more rude — talking to someone wearing an AVP or talking to their “persona” on a Zoom call?

[TheExoticBeard]

This review should be a benchmark for anyone who wants to do tech product review.
30min I couldn't even skip and forgot that I'm watching a video .. feels honest, personal, and to the point.

The other reviews of the AVP feels like they are afraid to piss off Apple.

"Listen to me, do you really want a computer that is always looking to your hands." had me laughing.

[TimeBucks]

This is one of the best reviews I have ever seen.

[mikebell]

Why is this filmed like a true crime doc. Those random angles on the guy 😂😂😂😂

[Melusi]

Why doesn’t the verge just do this the whole time. They could be just as big as any of the other techtube review brands…this is seriously the best review I’ve ever seen on YouTube.

[ThyInfoMan]

Never watched a verge review before but this was one of the best tech reviews I've seen in a while and, considering I basically live on techtube, is saying something. Bravo to the reviewer, dude killed it

[lisam.willson]

I was sitting here watching this thinking “Is this one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen?” Then I went to the comments and realized I wasn’t alone; this truly was a spectacular review. Thoughtful, informative, critical without being cynical, funny at times, and passionate. This review was the moment I decided to subscribe, because if this is the quality of reviews that I can expect from The Verge, I’m all in.

Most of us will just have to wait till Vision Pro SE is released 5 yrs from now for $1k.

This is one of THE best product review videos Ive ever seen. The editing. The pacing. The narration. 100/100 presentation. I stopped caring about the headset halfway through and was just amazed on the production value of this. Well done Verge! And Well done Nilay Patel!

"You look like... like someone drew you from a memory."
"From a nightmare they had of me"

[tobyehrfilms]

This is not only the most grounded Apple Vision Pro Review yet but might just be the best video review of a consumer electronics device ever made

[_Daud]

This is the first time that I've sat through a 30 min review without skipping even a second.

[乂]

This was quite a detailed review of Vision Pro. Well done, Verge!

[willow]

coming back to watch this because it’s one of the best review videos i’ve ever seen. the first two minutes should win awards

[Carboncluster]

Actual journalism in 2024? This video was so great and informative! Really a great piece of journalistic work!

[raineyjayy]

This is the first review I've heard that sounded like it wasn't written by Apple thank you

[arfmf]

This is a review I doubt MKBHD can top. And that's saying a lot. Insights, conclusions, b-roll, flow. That's a masterpiece. What a turn (for good) The Verge. Hats off.

[gregoiredesusanne]

Marques saying good thing about the vision pro and the Verge just roasting it💀

[MikeLikesChannel]

This is far beyond most VR headsets I've tried. It's truly a taste of "what could some day be" -- not yet a product in its "iPhone 4 or iPhone 15" stage of maturity yet. Nilay is understandably critical, but I see those little smiles when he's using it -- so does Apple.

I'll say if it was $2000 I'd already have bought it. But close to $4000 is out of my price range for "geeky curiosities"
