I know a lot of people are rightfully concerned with the viability of this product, but I'm unbelievably excited! Definitely going to be pre-ordering one and picking it up on release day if I can!

I'm sure it won't be perfect or anything, but I'm mostly just stoked about the possibilities I see with this thing.

It is amazing how the hype for this went off a cliff, especially as the LLM stuff went into orbit.

There is a large contingent that understandably want a new iPhone type success, along with new App Store level opportunities, but like with the VR wave I suspect they will be disappointed by this one. The computing industry appears to have run out of obvious things to do with what it has developed.

This product is the first step to the real future of tech. Just like the iPhone took years to catch on (similarly to Vision Pro, the big problem was price), this product's successors will be the market leaders for all tech in 5 years (maybe longer, but I think 5 years is fair).

What do you see with it? I see a better in some ways (display, cameras, maybe finger tracking) VR headset than an alternative like the Quest 3 but also with some serious downsides, no controllers, insanely high price and potential weight issues because of all the metal/glass.

I raise my cup to Apple for raising the bar in new HCI, even if I don't find the product particularly compelling.
