So I was, for about a month. But I had to give it up due to, mainly, compatibility with MAM requirements for work and app quality. It’s so infuriating to me how good this hardware is yet how equally underinvested it is. I do enjoy it when I’m in a work type that is well supported. I would love deeper integration with macOS beyond just screen sharing too. Or alternatively a broader selection of native equivalent apps.…

> There also seems to be an odd standoff between Apple and the streaming apps, eg no native YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, etc Apple made the bed when they openly were hostile to the developers. There's a reason why every platform courts the developers (Remember MS's "developers developers developers"). Apple could get away from being a jerk because the devices were attractive, and the distribution it offered was stellar…

There’s a native YouTube app. And I don’t find myself missing the others. But besides the background noise from YouTube and Apple Music/Podcasts I don’t really consume media in mine. It’s a work tool.

I don't own Apple Vision Pro, but I tested them two times already and I'm amazed by the technology. I honestly think it's the future. We're probably WAY too early yet, and the Vision Pro might fail badly, but it is indeed the future. I did a special test session in Japan for "productivity" (the guys at the Apple Store were very friendly and agreed to let me install VSCode and Ghostty on the testing laptop. I cloned a…

Funny you say it's the future when the project was scraped. I don't think people want to live in a fake world.

The project has not been scraped or scrapped. Any outlet that reported that walked it back. It’s reportedly put on hold while they work on the glasses. Its fate might ultimately end up all the same.

I own a AVP and it’s super niche. Can’t blame Apple for putting their attention on the more wearable glasses form factor.

Also, in the year that I’ve owned my AVP I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been in full VR/immersive. And I use it everyday.

I'll work for 4+ hours straight in my Vision Pro when I'm on a plane or train, but when I'm in a less cramped place I'd rather just use a normal screen

That’s interesting. I’ve yet to wear it around any other human beings other than my immediate family.

I’m also more than happy breaking it out in my hotel room.

Couldn’t imagine wearing it on a plane or train and would rather use my much more discreet laptop directly.

It’s unlike Apple to be too early with something. Usually it’s the competition and they show how it should really be done.

I guess the main problem here is the price point, which will improve over time and with scale.

If anything I think the Vision Pro is more discreet on a plane! No big bright screen to annoy or distract other passengers with, plus I can keep my laptop nearly clamshelled on my lap while I work without having to use the tray table
