AR sized sunglasses is the next iPhone so much innovation to happen here.

Though as of now and until they shrink all the tech into regular sized glasses the majority will reject while the innovators will jump on this headset and start creating amazing things.

I really miss the authenticity of an Elon presentation. Some of the people in the Vision Pro presentation looked 3D rendered with the degree of post processing the video underwent.

I guess they had to call it a "spatial computer" in an attempt to overcome the shock that they want $3,500 for a VR headset when the competition is selling their newest generation for $500.

Disappointing to see it won’t ship until 2024. I wonder if they are waiting for a 3nm chip.

Up until to the point they announced the price, apple was doing nice on the street but seems like $3,499 for a brand new platform is a bit too much risk than market was anticipating. Almost 60 billion $s went from the market cap (maybe not much for a giant in Apple's scale but still interesting).

Apple really just obsoleted Meta's entire product vision, this is scary good.

The price is even higher than people expected at $3.5k! The passthrough of the wearers eyes with a front facing display is pretty interesting, especially with the 3D lenticular display giving every viewer the correct perspective. I hadn't seen that in the rumors leading up to the launch, its good to see apple still can keep some secrets.

There were rumors of third display but for peripheral vision.
