Did the in-store guided demo this week.
As a designer, I have a few immediate insights that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere. As usual, the coverage is surface-level and misses the point
- Remember the OG iPhone coverage? I recall a lot of “can Apple convince consumers to give up the physical keyboard?” as if that was relevantnb
- unless your off the grid a phone whether it be smartphone or analog was/is a necessity. not sure an experiential input output peripheral is comparablejonny_quest_lives
- the most interesting use i can think of for the vision pro would be on set cinematography playback where you can rough the in theter experience between takes.jonny_quest_lives
- have a rough color grade on actor takes in a simulated screen for director playback but that too is a niche use case.jonny_quest_lives
- If you haven’t demoed the device, do not make the mistake of thinking you have any idea of what it will or won’t benb
- at $3599 i already know it's a non starter as entry level consumer device which is where Apple historically attempted to land their devicesjonny_quest_lives

- entry-level starter device??? U trollin?nb
- not trolling i said months ago if Apple truly believed in the AR space they would have sold it at a loss... ship it at $999 and the conversation changesjonny_quest_lives
- they are only sitting on $73.10 Billion cash on hand... they can eat the loss but now they are stuck with headlines like:jonny_quest_lives
- "Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros"jonny_quest_lives
- "Apple Vision Pro users return $3.5K headsets, say they cause extreme headaches, motion sickness: ‘Like a torture session’jonny_quest_lives
- price the stupid thing according to what most users would use it for which is media consumption & if one of the selling points is view movies on 100 foot screenjonny_quest_lives
- then you in home theater territory competing against LED screens so $999-$1299 is relative to what an average consumer will stomach for an 85" tvjonny_quest_lives
- Sighnb
- their next best consumer use case is 'virtual meetings" but Zoom already won that battlefield destroying cisco's whole telepresence footprintjonny_quest_lives
- Tim Cook talked about this project being Apple's moonshot but that price tag screams lack of confidence.jonny_quest_lives
- Launch Prices: imac:$1299 phone1:$499 ipad:$499 Apple Watch: $350 not counting the $10000 version they promptly droppedjonny_quest_lives
- "if you haven’t demoed the device, do not make the mistake of thinking you have any idea of what it will or won’t be"jonny_quest_lives
- you've demo'd it what does it do that will overcome real word market/financial constraints and the current launch nosedive apple is experiencingjonny_quest_lives
- "wait for version 2" or "it's magical untll it isn't" aren't exactly the marketing pull quotes they wantedjonny_quest_lives
