I'm not sure the Vision Pro could ever achieve the productivity and speed a laptop with a physical keyboard and mouse has. But I haven't tried it myself, so it's all guesswork for now...

Yes that's true, it will be slightly harder to use than a Mac for similar tasks, but I think in time Apple will be able to improve the pass through and they already showed people connecting a magic keyboard. I think it was the Verge or MKBHD who claimed it was the first headset they've been able to use their smartphone easily while wearing (i.e. the passthrough video feed is that good!) so I'm sure using a physical keyboard won't be too much of a barrier for long. It will be exciting to see how it develops in the future regardless ?

It's cool but not sure how it actually adds anything to my life. It just seems like another tech toy to distract me from life and relationships. Plus it's insanely expensive.

Judging by the marketing videos, it's not even going to be close.

I'm very interested to see if this new 3D imaging system will affect the iPhones cameras - perhaps the 15 series will be able to capture live photos in this new file format? It would very much make sense for Apple to start allowing people to capture content to view in 3d on these kinds of devices asap - content creation is just as important to a system as consumption.

No one wants to take videos and photos using the Vision Pro but we all have a camera with a depth sensor and portrait mode etc so it makes sense to make 3D Capture the next push in smartphone photography... And this way Apple would have a further way to lock people into the ecosystem and make a camera phone that truly is unrivalled even if the raw image quality is sometimes surpassed - in a similar way to how Live Photos makes it hard to swap away from the iPhone even if you improve the base image quality by going with a Xiaomi 13 Ultra!

This way even if a company came up with a similar headset, Apple would have its users already invested in the system before they even buy a Vision device as they'd have been taking 3D images and video for years before the headset itself becomes more accessible.

Don't want to be locked into Apple's ecosystem, or anyone else's. I'm a huge proponent of diversity and choice. Just like Stereo systems decades ago, awash with a number of brands and a huge number of models from the lower end to as high as one wanted to go. The more one allows themselves to be "locked in" the fewer overall choices you'll have. If you don't care or wave the Apple flag proudly is up to you. I celebrate that we have other paths, paths that aren't tied to a single brand.

This site makes its money on ads. The more people interact with an article, the more they get paid for those ads. This is just an interaction tactic to get more clicks/views/comments.

As opposed to NOT wearing one, I guess :))) I think regular glasses that act as a controller/external monitor are much more practical than a standalone device with that kind of bulk.

first, I don’t see this device as something I need in life. So I’m just speaking in defense of the device as a new tech.

second, my point was if you do want/need this device what are the alternatives with these same features like watching a full screen tv in AR but also seeing everything around you? Have they made something like this but look and feel like regular glasses? Im not protesting his comment - im asking if there are truly alternatives.
