It seems like yesterday when I had the opportunity to watch the performance in person. Vision Pro in Cupertino and be one of the first people in the world to see it with their own eyes. Apple back then, he was representing something that would change the world forever. He was representing a completely new concept of how computers would work, and he was trying to convince us that what we were seeing now was the way technology was going to go. I, along with hundreds of thousands of other people around the world, believed him, and that's why I Vision Pro bought. Yes, it is true that even at the time I bought it, it was already clear that its usability was not extreme. Nevertheless, I said to myself that I wanted to be able to record my son in 3D and have somewhere to play it back, but I also believed that Apple In short, he won't let this project fall to its knees.
Unfortunately, now, two years later, I know that Apple He wrote it off by not adding a single new thing to the list in two years. visionOS. He wrote it off by not forming any new partnerships with major companies creating games, movies, or other content, and simply threw Vision Pro overboard. It's great that once a year something new comes along, like the ability to watch the NBA, but luckily I have the opportunity to go to the NBA in person, which is a slightly different experience. It's great that I had the opportunity to watch the launch of Artemis II over Vision Pro, and they actually added one movie last year. It was an incredible 12 minutes long and it was the only movie they added.
These experiences still give me chills, but for $3499, it's not what I expected. I didn't get a single game worth playing, I didn't get any new content from Applu and apart from the above three things I received practically no attention from Applu, developers or anyone else. I'm not crying over the fact that this product cost what it cost. I don't care. I'm more surprised that a company like Apple was willing to invest billions of dollars to launch a product that was practically dead before it even started. When Apple He said practically anything, it was clear in retrospect how well he had thought out the product and how he knew exactly how to build on it. We saw exactly that the iPod served to Apple introduced by iTunes Music Store and sold us music. iPhone was on his way again App Hundreds and millions of applications. And we also had the opportunity to see that Apple he already knew in advance what the second, third, and generally even the tenth generation of a given product would look like.

When Vision Pro we simply launched a product that brought an extreme revolution in terms of hardware, but that was the end of it. It brought no vision for the future, no one really knew how to work with it. The developers didn't know how to grasp it, how people would use it, and as it turned out almost immediately after its introduction, neither did Apple. It amazes me that Apple actually told hundreds of thousands of people who Vision Pro bought, that they spent money on something that he doesn't care about, doesn't want to invest energy in, and doesn't really care about anymore. It wasn't by chance Apple, which is famous for its long-term support of its products, for building ecosystems around them, and for preparing new and new features for them? Unfortunately, in the case of Vision Pro me Apple disappointed across the board.
Since your business is built on AppHey, sometimes you have to write off products that are on you. Apple I don't think it's a waste of money, you helped those who were even thinking about it. VisionIt's charity and that's appreciated.
I thank you too, nakoneI decided on the MQ3 and it's a blast. I would gladly spend the money on the AVP, but if it had at least some added value... That's how I know I'd rather let my taste buds run wild. Have a nice day
Write that Apple back then it was something that was going to change the world, it's pretty naive. With the price tag and everything around it, it was more or less clear that it was just an expensive experiment and I don't think it was even Apple At that time he didn't really know what to do with Apple vision pro actually intends. The idea of augmented reality is probably a vision of the future, but certainly not through a heavy closed headset where you look at the world around you through cameras. Using products should feel natural and intuitive, but this was the least natural form of augmented reality possible. Yes, there was an attempt to “humanize” the entire product with visible eyes and their surroundings so that the wearer didn’t seem detached from reality, but it felt more comical and dystrophic than anything else.
Interesting, this is exactly what people said about iPhone what you just wrote :)
Very nicely and truthfully written.
