And every influencer and YouTuber has their paws on it already.
You can practically find a dozen reviews within a week.
Like all things, some love it and some hate it.
Is it a groundbreaking leap into the future, or a misstep in the evolution of technology?
Let’s take a look at the new gadget that’s been labeled Apple’s most ambitious project since the iPhone.
Actually, the iPad was quite ambitious too when it first came out.
Nobody quite knows what to make of it and how to categorize it.
They ended up giving it a whole new category and it thrived pretty well since.
The Vision Pro is not your average headset.
It’s an amalgamation of AI, augmented reality, and a plethora of other technologies, packaged as a ‘spatial computing’ device.
It’s Apple’s bold attempt to reshape how we interact with the digital world.
But at a staggering $3,499, it’s a luxury not everyone can afford.
The Good: The Vision Pro has been greeted with a wave of excitement.
Users rave about its ultra-realistic visuals, intuitive hand gestures, and immersive experience.
It delivers impressive 23-million-pixel visuals and innovative eye-navigation.
Everyone is saying how there is nothing quite like it in the market right now.
“It’s revolutionary,” says James Cameron, the legendary filmmaker who gave us Avatar and Titanic.
Use cases like virtual workspaces, watching multiple sports games, and attending virtual team calls makes it a very versatile device.
People are raving about just how immersive and crystal clear the pixels are.
The Bad: The $3,499 price tag is a huge problem.
It’s an investment for a device that’s yet to prove its long-term value.
And the weight is a big issue too, with the straps overcompensating at times and it feels like having a TV set plastered on your head all the time.
The virtual keyboard is also difficult to get used to.
When you add the limited app selection, its weight, occasional glitches, and battery life, the Vision Pro is not an obvious choice for the average consumer.
It makes it more of a version 1, where you buy to test and try it out first.
Definitely not for the mass consumer segment yet.
Why It Matters: The Vision Pro could be to smartphones and laptops what those devices were to their predecessors.
It’s not a VR headset but the future of personal computing.
Perhaps like an on-the-go PC that you strap on your head.
Best part is, nobody can see what you are looking at!
100% privacy.
you could have YouTube opened, Spotify blasting, browsing X for memes, jumping on a work meeting and editing documents all at once!
What’s It Like to Use?
The headset comes with 600 specialized apps, but lacks major players like Meta, Netflix, and Google.
The experience is described as nothing short of ‘religious’ by some, but others are quick to note the limitations in everyday practicality.
600 apps sounds like a lot but we really only need the big boys like Tiktok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail .etc
And they are noticeably missing for now.
The Vision Pro may redefine our digital interactions altogether.
With capabilities like turning any space into a large-screen surfing experience, introducing new media formats, and overlaying digital assets onto the real world, it’s a glimpse into a future where our digital and physical realities blend seamlessly.
The use case is quite wild, and I am certain crazier use cases are coming soon as users experiment and learn more about it.
The Vision Pro would absolutely be fantastic on Airplanes, to kill boredom and entertain yourself.
It could provide unlimited productivity when you are commuting and when you are playing VR games, it could give you the best gaming experience of your life.
Despite the potential, the device, in its present state, does not fulfill the productivity powerhouse role many hoped for.
Yet.
Time will tell.
The world will look very different now, with AI, AR, VR and new tech that we haven’t invent yet.
With its main products reaching a revenue plateau, Apple’s future growth is under scrutiny.
That being said, Apple is still a $2.9T company with immense resources and great leadership.
They will figure out a way to reduce the price of the Vision Pro, make it more accessible and even come out with a basic model that will eat the world.
