Hopefully you're right, but the cynic in me thinks we've been saying the same thing about every VR headset that has come out in the last ten years.
The cynic in you is overly cynical. Ten years ago was pre oculus rift. We weren't saying anything about VR headsets. Five years ago was pre valve index. We didn't have CPUs in a headset. Nor a battery. Cameras were only used for tracking. The things we were saying would improve is "screen door effect" and "tracking", both of which have.
My two cents (as an owner of a Vision Pro): 1) This is a beta product and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone that is not a developer or in a position to create apps for it, 2) this is going to have as big of an impact on humanity as the computer or the internet did and every engineer or aspiring entrepreneur should pay it attention. This device is magical. Yes it's too heavy, yes there are not enough apps, yes sharing…
I am perhaps missing your point, but if people will be able to experience incredible VR worlds, couldn't people happily spend their time sitting in tiny windowless rooms rather than physically travelling to a beach?
I think the description of the VisionPro as a dev kit is spot on. It's also a beta product in many way. Apple know full well that this is not a mass market product, they have made no attempt to make it even remotely affordable to most people. But they also know that every aspect of the hardware will improve over the next decade, and as it does they will have ironed out many of the problems with how we use AR/VR and w…

> Travel to beaches will go up I am perhaps missing your point, but if people will be able to experience incredible VR worlds, couldn't people happily spend their time sitting in tiny windowless rooms rather than physically travelling to a beach?
A beach seems like the former, and cities and minor attractions seem like the latter.

Have they finally unfucked the settings and brought them all into a consistent ui, or have they just moved that particular one to yet another new layer?

> Apple know full well that this is not a mass market product. I really feel like too many people are ignoring this. If anyone understands how to play the long game with a new product it is Apple. I mean the Apple TV was a "Hobby" for many years. Has Apple ever put out a "Pro" version of a product before the "normal" version? I think it also helps the clear sharing of technology between this and other products. From…
> Has Apple ever put out a "Pro" version of a product before the "normal" version? Yes they introduced the MacBook Pro before the MacBook.

Because they have spent decades building a brand which most people see as premium and desirable. Doesnt matter what the product is now, if it has an apple logo on it the majority of people will want one. Other companies trying to compete with Apple in any space will automatically have this disadvantage that they are seen as the inferior choice because Apple have repeatedly positioned themselves as the most premium pl…
Have you seen the competitors? OS: Windows is a add-riddled and always ignoring your preferences and getting in the way of your work. Tablet: Android tablet are slow (or soon to be) and not much applications designed for them Laptop: Windows and never a good mix of great components, perfomance, and weight. Phone: Only a few do not add uninstallable junk, and these days, they all try to copy the iPhone which is not so…

And yet -- as Steve demonstrated -- it fit in an envelope.
THIS is Apple launching a new product line (and trust me I'm not a fan boi).
And shortly after (2-3 years?) the MBAs were powerful cheap and barely powered up their fans.
Mind you the MBA was maybe Steve's last obsession. What is Tim's thinking these days?
Still it all seems very Apple like...
