> This is going to be another of their socially awkward gimmicks like Memojis they will double down until they inevitably fail. I don't necessarily agree. Some have talked about how the weirdness starts to fade after getting into a conversation and focusing on the discussion or collaboration at hand. It seems that once the brain has adjusted a bit, it can start to fill in for the badness somewhat. The feature clearly…

No, I absolutely get that. I still remember how talking to yourself wearing wired headset on the street was weird.

But it’s been over 5 years since Apple started pushing Memojis, they still continued as recently as last year and they have little adoption still, as far as I am aware.

Those who watched WWDC remember how cringey those Memoji bits were, I specifically refer to that aspect of their being increasingly out of touch.

Yeah, I really like the Macbook and the iPhone, but basically everything else apple produces is pretty shit these days, even the airpods are just alright (I mean, the audio quality, design, and form factor are amazing, but they are super buggy and there are better wireless earbuds for the price). It would be a great shame if a secure, well designed, easy to use computer loaded with a custom-built, well supported unix…

> there are better wireless earbuds for the price Not that I’ve found. Maybe on individual features, but not as a whole product.

Then you didn't care to look for them. Sennheiser, B&W and other traditional companies have buds that sound light years better than greatest tech Apple can currently produce, and do cost more correspondingly.

On top of things like much longer lasting battery, much better support for advanced HD bluetooth codecs (I can plug them into anything like some cheap TVs anywhere). But to me overall sound quality is still #1 reason to invest into premium quality.

Of course then somebody from A team comes with 'but they integrates greatly with my iphone' argument, which is probably true but not that relevant to above. My Senns integrate effortlessly with my Samsung phone/tv/laptops too, thats kind of baseline in 2024.

This is just not going to work. Whatever the experience may be, in this universe, it is not good for the eyes to be focused at a screen a few cm away for hours on end.

The focal distance is more like six feet on most headsets. That's further than my physical monitors are.

> they’re pushing their weird geeky ideas onto their users This thing is like $5k all-in and even then you have to get on a waiting list. I wouldn’t really say that they’re pushing this on people.

Not talking about the device itself here.

100% of my social circle works outside tech, and nobody uses memojis

The world is bigger than just the US of A. Memojis are big among the teen set elsewhere.

If the amount of internet content regarding Memojis is to be a judge, Memojis might as well not exist at all.

From my broad circle in the US and Europe, I know one person who sends one maybe once a quarter.

I participated in a couple Vision Pro demos at Apple HQ prior to launch day. One with a security focus, one with a health applications focus. The security profile, btw, is super boring: on the network, it looks like an iPad. Health applications: pretty cool for education, maybe other things, eventually. What I think would be compelling, for me, is the ability to use it on travel. To be on a plane and not have to worr…

Where do you work where laptops at meetings aren't acceptable? Not seeing laptops is an extremely reliable red flag for me.

People not taking notes is a huge red flag at least, but handwritten notes are fine so laptop is not a must

> You can choose to let the real outer world in or filter it out,

Yeah I do that by putting my monitor near a window, and using my special ability to move my ocular organs to decide what I get to see. It saves me 3k dollars and having to wear some awkward device on my head.
