unless Apple allows adult content applications on Vision Pro its future is doomed. There are only two first-adopters for any new technology: military and adult industry. Without these you wont get any traction

I don’t think either of those drove smart phone adoption.

having developed multiple apps on it and tried every which way to use it (as an XR enthusiast in general), I have never been so happy to put a headset up on the shelf and never pull it out again. using as a spatial monitor was cool. for about 10min until my neck got tired of the added weight. but I’ll give credit that those 10min were pretty cool.

If you are not going to pick it up from the shelf, why wouldn't you sell it before it loses even more value as tech evolves?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

iPhone has never allowed those and it seems to have done alright.

Yes, absolutely no one uses an iPhone to go to Pornhub and spank themselves into oblivion because Steve and Tim said it's wrong

And nobody does that on Vision Pro despite it including the same browsing capabilities, apparently.

most gen1 apple products are a small retirement investment if you keep it in working condition for long enough

The only feature that looked compelling to me was the ability to have "multi-monitor" on a plane. Did anyone ever use that and did it live up to the hype? Or did you just get sick from having a headset on?

I tried a bit on the original Vive and text was awful. I didn’t get nauseated, but games didn’t make me sick either (I did get some “sea legs” when I took it off).

Haven’t tried on the AVP, I think it has way better displays than the OG Vive did.

Not regularly, but I do watch movies on it once in a while (in those beautiful environments), especially when I'm on a flight.

WWDC also just rolled out some quite exciting features to RealityKit: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/279/ as well as visionOS itself (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/287/)

It makes me wonder if Apple is really giving it up as news have claimed.

Is there a headset you like use for prolonged periods?

I don't think anyone serious has claimed that.
