Thanks for making this one!
Why don't you just buy another carrying case that is way smaller than Apples? There's plenty of options, far cheaper and smaller. I don't have ANY issues bringing AVP in an airplane. Also, you felt "jarring" in cinema mode because you were recording your screen while watching a movie, so everything was pitch black because of DRM issues of the recording.... If you weren't recording that wouldn't happen to begin with.
I would run into many of the same issues with a smaller case, like the clumsiness of the whole experience and the awkwardness of use in a confined space!
My friend's sometimes ask if I have buyer's remorse because the Vision Pro has not been selling how Apple would have liked and I say to them all the time I do not. Would I like to see a lot more apps that uses the full capability of the Vision Pro, yes, however I still use it pretty regularly for watching content, playing games with Steam Link, and productivity at work. I haven't regretted the purchase one bit.
glad to hear you're having fun with it too!
I agree! OpenAI is targeting the pro plan for pro's for researchers to people doing highly complex things. For most people having unlimited access isn't really needed nor do they need O1 pro. for some this might be more affordable since if a consumer needs a more advanced model they can upgrade to pro for a month use it for the specific tasks they need then downgrade back to plus. issue being paying for it annually is where it is expensive it's around 2k but the people who will need these models make enough to pay 2k a month for the benifits it provides.
makes sense to make the "Pro" plan for pros, right? (lol) I do think that the word "Pro" has been polluted a little in Silicon Valley product marketing, so it actually feels a little refreshing to see how useful the distinction is in these emerging product categories
@@uncoverage Agreed! just like the iphone max pros that normal people buy.
o1 preview was also rate limited. The rate limit is supposedly higher with the full release of o1. However it feels less the valuable because I suspect o1 uses less thinking tokens than o1 preview.
this makes me wish I had tested o1-preview more extensively before the change. thanks for the added context!
9:50 I think he gets to the point.
Roger that 13:02 - I'll get it done.

So... I am a developer, and I haven’t paid close attention to the AVP. It’s cool, but I already have a great setup for watching movies at home. Nice consumer device, but way too expensive for that. It seems like right around this time of the year I start looking at monitors, and now we’ve got a world’s-first dual UHD 57” Samsung monitor that is in a class of its own, but it’s not everything yet. I’d promised myself to wait until next year to see if the next one gets there. Then I saw that AVP has a new ultrawide setting. Now, I may be *that* developer working on that next killer app (🤞🏻) and this *seems*... like it may be the dream, real today. What do you think? 15 hour (plugged in) sessions? It certainly makes me think a lot less about trying to mount a gigantic monitor to my desk. I could use this today and not think too much about it being replaced in the next couple of years.
15 hours at a time may be a stretch, frankly. but it all depends on how much tolerance (and experience) you have for wearing something relatively heavy on your head. there are also tradeoffs inherent in a virtual display for a developer - if you are a Retina display fiend (5K or nothing), you may find that text is softer than on a native display, similar to how text gets softer on a 4K display.
Free Plan: Access to the smallest models, like 4o mini. Plus Plan: Includes access to the larger 4o model and o1 (with advanced features like voice mode), but usage of o1 is limited, possibly to something like 25 messages per week. Pro Plan: Designed for researchers and users with complex tasks who are willing to pay more. The main difference from the Plus plan is the level of access to the more expensive models, like o1. For example, Pro users paying $200/month can use o1 Unlimited, whereas Plus users are restricted by the weekly message cap.
I am convinced that Sama did this just to piss off all of us who pay only $20. Also, this is the weirdest angle I've ever seen on YT video. Also Also, thanks - you provided a perspective on this I wasn't seeing. Good stuff. Looking forward to more videos on this channel.
thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it! also: philosophically, the weird angle and the unique perspective go hand in hand ;) see you in the next one!
Do people prefer $200 wine over $20 wine because it taste better or because you paid more for it?
great comp!
If you write a book, I will buy it 📖
thank you!
I still have access to o1….
Also the o1 models of the two plans are different. OpenAI has a video where they walk you through it
totally! that is what I'm trying to (and failing to, it seems) say here. the differentiation between Plus and Pro is new, and whereas 'Pro' features would have fallen into Plus before, they now have a new place to 'live'
@@uncoverage yeah from your video it sounds like o1 was removed from plus entirely.. nonetheless some insightful points, kept thinking about the video!
What a weird opening shot😳😳😳
It's kinda his thing that makes him stand out lol. I like it.
👀📐🎥💥
this is a spectacularly well put together video. cogent points and a solid narrative flow all the way through, over some beautiful and really cohesive, visually interesting video. I'm well impressed with your filmmaking skills, I hope you keep this up cos I'm excited to see where you could take it. Love it
thank you so much 😭 I'm just glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you in the next one!
Who gives a fuck about philosophising about prices
The $200 product also makes the $20 product look like it’s better value. Plus maybe the $200 price could allow them to offer discounts that look more attractive.
in the long term, agreed. I do think that because the $200 price came second, the anchoring effect (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_effect) is working in the wrong direction for them though!
6:45 where is the Apple Studio in this typology?
I think the "Studio" brand is an extension of the model, sitting between "Consumer" and "Professional"!
"we don't want you to buy [$200 ChatGPT]" to add to this, OpenAI is positioning the market to be ready for Agentic AI where they will sell a $2,000 per "seat" per month subscription for agents. The industry is aligning on 2025 being the start of agentic AI. Google's latest Gemini uses this terminology as well. Why $200 - OpenAI is entering a new scaling phase where they are increasing intelligence by scaling compute at runtime (inference). They let the model think longer, which means they spend more money on server costs for each request. They can be 100x or more their cost per request, so they really do need to charge money to help reduce demand and pressure on the o1 model. I think you do a good job of simplifying, but to get down into the weeds... OpenAI's offering is even more nuanced. We have ChatGPT and then we have API access. We have consumer customers and enterprise customers, but we also have SaaS businesses as "customers" who re-sell these APIs to consumers and/or enterprises.
200 bucks a month their servers better not go down😂
😬
i love your videos, i think they are very calming :D

Wow. Fantastic vid. Loved all the historical clips cut in. Thanks for this. Cheers!
thanks for watching and I'm glad you like history! hope you subscribe and stick around for the next one because we love history on this channel :)
its kind of insane to think how much of this work goes completely unnoticed, its everywhere in computing and only becomes more advanced and complex as computing evolves
right‽ I'm constantly fascinated about how much of the world we live in was designed by others, with an immense amount of thought and attention to detail that is, for most people, completely invisible :)
Very cool! I love the look, and it helps that you're a great presenter. These are very interesting ideas to me. I only got a vr headset because I wanted a way to watch 3D movies that didn't involve my aging 3DTV, and the potential seems sky high
thank you so much for the kind words! what headset do you have?
This is such a gem of a video! Im so glad to have come across it! The history of the mouse really helps to brings things into perspective.
thank you for watching! I'm curious about what your biggest takeaways were?
Amazing video
thanks!
Excellent Video, exactly the type of super nerd stuff I Love!
omg, thank you! I just came across your channel the other day and I love the work you're up to - hit me up at austin@uncoverage.co?
As another commenter has expressed, I feel like the first few minutes should let us know the overall theme of the video. Yes we have the title to guide us but I’ll be honest and admit that I had to double check the title to see if I was on the right video. I almost clicked off but the presentation kept me hooked until I got the structure the video was gonna take. Maybe it’s a me problem. Anyway amazing video.
totally fair critique, and I'm so glad you decided to stick around :) hope I see you in the next one (and that you'll trust me enough to deliver on the title 😉)

☺️ you've got me blushing over here
Your videos are awesome, a pure pleasure to watch. Keep it up! The longer videos are great for helping me work on my attention span, which is something I really struggle with these days. Thanks!
thank you so much! I'm just happy you enjoyed it :) I'm curious - how are you committing yourself to longer videos? I know that in the past, I've had to do things like delete TikTok in order to reset my brain
I gotta day, great video, definitely given me a new appreciation for apple. That said, you've made a subtle mistake. The ipad mouse has some great features, but it isn't making up for failures of the mouse, it's making up for failures of the mousepad. They are distinct inputs, though closely related and often interchangeable. I do not have an issue navigating my high resolution ultrawide monitor with my traditional mouse, because the traditional mouse offers more spatial control than a mousepad. With a good mouse, I can make tiny movements with micro-adjustments with a twitch, medium movements with a small push, and large sweeps with a quick wrist/arm motion. Mousepads are just more limited in that sense. Additionally, because the response is so 1-to-1, I can perform actions with the mouse without always looking at the cursor, because I know, intuitively, how far it will move and how fast. On the other hand, mousepads can more easily express more distinct types of interaction thanks to gestures and multitouch. When working on my laptop I love using a few fingers to switch between desktops and apps, quickly sorting and arranging tasks. I miss some of those controls when I'm on my desktop. I think the ipad's magic mouse works wonderfully, but it also works in an environment of buttons, sliders, and cleanly defined input areas. Not all controls will be so clear & discrete. It is there that fine control needs to be reasserted, as intuition has limitations. It is important to make sure that assumptions are occasionally questioned, especially when they're being made regularly. We have been giving computers more and more ability to make assumptions, which certainly makes them easier to use, but also makes them more prone to mistake, just as you made the assumption that the mouse and the mousepad were interchangeable. I don't think this detracts heavily from this video or it's message, and I always enjoy a good dive into history to see where concepts came from, shows good grounding. Never knew about the mother of all demos, some real mind blowing stuff for nearly 60 years ago. Hope to see your next work.
this video will blow up! what a watch. the amazing production and such deep understanding of simple things that i always took for granted like the ipad's cursor really blew me away. astonishing work, congrats!!!
thank you! the iPad cursor also blew me away, and I just knew I had to drop that in a video at some point as soon as I figured that out
I watch many UA-cam videos on 2x speed. It speaks to the depth and value of the content. Your videos are on 1x with parts often 'rewound' to listen to again. Excellent commentary, cinematography and a contagious passion for computing history, present and future. 👏
😭 thank you so much for the kind words! it was a labor of love. hope to see you in the next one!
I had missed the magic of universal control of the pointer was controlled by eye tracking. Now I am wanting that movement mechanism on my ultrawide in my Mac's virtual display in AVP. The AVP ultrawide is really nice, but the pointer is so small and acres of screen space to find it on needs a bit of improvement.
you and I totally agree! bring MAGIC pointing to Ultrawide!
@@uncoverage Along these lines there is another interaction I've been trying with AVP and iPad and this may be something you've run across or may find it of interest: A lot of the iPad Pro and Pencil Pro interactions with shadows and tip orientation on hover seemed like they were fancy overkill to some degree. But, trying iPad Pro with Pencil Pro while in AppleVision Pro they are essential and insanely helpful The experience isn't great, but it is usable when sharing the iPad Pro in with Airplay. With out the shadows and hovers it is really unusable, but with them it is moderately usable. I've only tried it in one session, to see what it is like and how far off it is. I was somewhat surprised it was usable to some degree. Some of what I'd like to be able to do would be to use iPad for writing / sketching in a whiteboard manner I really miss big whiteboards and large research studios with many large whiteboards, plenty of wall space for large poster sticky pads, and large printouts of systems or workflows and/or product roadmap plans.
The depth and quality of this video are an achievement. Thanks again for an amazing channel.
and thanks to you, as always, for helping make them happen 🫶
Hey this is too long, I can't tell what you're trying to say in the first 10 minutes. Please try to condense the information to about less than 10 minutes cause it seems like a lot of fluff

This is an amazing video essay but the title is a bit misleading I think.
curious about why!
@@uncoverageundersells how phenomenal the video is but also the video spends little time answering the question posed by the title
@@alfiegordon9013 yes exactly. my suggesion for a title: “How Apple thinks beyond the traditional computer interface” but you should play around with more ideas
agreed
For the ultra wide to work, I assume there is some “foviated rendering” at play. If so, does it make text or imagery noticeably blurry on the edges? I realize it mimics how our natural vision works, but is it annoying or visible in any way?
Foveated rendering applies to everything you see in the Vision Pro, not just the ultrawide. Only on very rare occasions (extremely rare) have I ever seen a bug of blurriness due to a lag in the OS. It's barely worth mentioning
Greta video! Something I wanted to point out about Vision OS that is often overlooked is that it is running two operating systems under the hood. It’s running a real-time OS (R1 Chip) and a General Purpose OS, Mac base + iOS operating system (M2 Chip). I think Apple is ahead in both software and hardware. Even if Meta can get Orion down to $5000 in 2028. Apple will have a headset by then that weighs less than a pound can run both MX and VR apps and games, will have far better resolution for watching movies + shows and will cost under $2000. I think Apple choose to go down the headset route because they know it’s going to be close to a decade before the price would be affordable enough for people to buy a true MX glasses that doesn’t have a lot of compromises to it. With Apple Watch and AirPods Apple already has a great wearable market until the Glasses are ready they don’t need to rush it. By the time it launches there will be so many apps for Vision OS! I could be fully wrong though, maybe they will have them out in way less than a decade somehow!
The narrative, scenes, transitions, callbacks and video editing on this is superb. Amazing work!

I would say the thing that feels the most broken on ultrawide display is double-click window maximize
LMAO ok but hear me out: huge, integrated programs like Final Cut taking up a bunch of space, edge-to-edge
Wow - I truly had no idea the iPad cursor was anything more than a neat little animation when it morphs around buttons and UI elements! And MAGIC with Vision Pro's eye tracking was something really incredible, it really did feel like the culmination of efforts on the mouse (and human interaction).
right? it was a revelation when I found this out.

Mice will indeed be around for a long time yet I’m sure, and the pointer hardware and software will evolve more yet, surviving the move to spatial computing. In a similar way, I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether the AI wave we’re seeing changes the App paradigm we have today (click icon + launch domain specific thing), or whether that just evolves slightly?
incredible that such a "unique" (11:09) device can survive through so many generations of computing! when it comes to AI: it absolutely does - in the right context. if agents become powerful enough, the paradigm switches back to an older familiar one: the command line. bottom line? when using voice, smaller, more precise *tools* become the dominant paradigm, while apps provide toolkits.
@@uncoverage I’m not sure we’ll land at a purely command-line/chat type interface again - GUIs won in part due to the value of “recognition over recall” (don’t make me remember commands, let me discover them) and the bandwidth of our vision over hearing/reading-words is a powerful reason to use rich visual feedback. But I don’t think that’s a bit of a straw man, I don’t think you meant a purely cmd line future. Ironically I’m imagining some hybrid of old school siri/google interface where answers to certain questions are little app-snippets (next 5 days weather), a stock ticker with 30day history, or live-data-tables that can be refreshed, etc etc. Then maybe those snippets can be saved/pinned (like Pinterest) to a personal or collaborative “space” where 2D or 3D arrangement and grouping can be used to provide more meaning and leverage human spatial memory. This idea comes on the back of the popularity of Miro/canva/freeform/etc, and how google Wave probably had the right idea but was a little early (extra-credit - check out bumptop 3D desktop, cute but only slightly relevant) So, perhaps the curated “App” becomes less prominent, and ISVs build actions and visual actions (UI snippets) as plugins to major OS agents like siri, Gemini, chatGPT and MS Copilot?
