I've received quite a few emails asking how I make my videos, if you're interested in learning about it in a detailed course let me know here: greg-s-site-7f5d.thinkific.com/
To shush the people saying “how was this comment made before the video”, he either could’ve made it members only or had it unlisted for awhile, making the thumbnail and description
Whats the name of the song you use as background? I need to know pleasee
I guess the Oasis can wait😂
😅😅
bro you comment this on every video, will you ever make that detailed course lmao
As always it’s better to buy the next models that solve those issues
Indeed
@eggmama170 Knowing Apple, they’ll probably just make a new one that’s 2% better and make it cost 2x more 💀
@eggmama170 just like the Galaxy Fold?
Might have to wait a couple years for the next iteration.
@eggmama170you can tell that after just one week since its release date? Your comment flopped
We should wait till the Vision or Vision Air
Yeah, it’s kind of a stupid move making the first product to start your lineup the “pro” product
Nah, it's not gonna be Air, IMO. That would be marketing failure becase there are no ways to make it so much lighter in the near future that they could call it "Air" on your face.
I'll wait for the Vision SE. I'm poor
@@badong12232011 probably gonna be a re-shelled quest 3
Are they going to make any other models?
Even though I like the device, I cannot afford it... 💀
A lot of us can’t yet.
Dude you have 1M subs 🥲
Shush you sub boter
@@benerbenerbenerFake subs.
@@benerbenerbenerbut he doesn’t get much views and it’s one of those “free vbucks” channels 💀
From my experience, it still is the best headset I’ve tried - the clarity of content you are looking at is outstanding, no controllers, just hands and eyes is exactly the direction VR should go, its intuitive to use and less clunky than other market devices, and especially it coexists with my digital ecosystem
who cares if its the best, its not good enough to do real world task like a phone... many years away from that. for now its only for nerds
How bad is hand tracking when there is low light or complete darkness? Is it as bad as they claim? I understand thanks to IR, it should be no problem.
@@wecomingforyou1388 it will never replace a phone, as phones never replaced computers
@@wecomingforyou1388nahhh try it out urself- it’s very much good enough to replace a lotta things
@@augustogalindo8687 I have one. It is near perfect. True there is no hand-passthrough, but it responds to virtually every command and input. The only small thing is that the bottom can't be covered up, as that is where the IR sensor is. It really is great though.
Even with the compromises, the technology inside this thing is insanely impressive
the compromises are too big, at this point nobody cares about whats inside when it doesnt work as adverted, especially when you pay $3500
Yeah... Apple just needs another generation...
You again
So far my biggest use I found for it is getting my college class work done, as I can have as many tabs or apps open and not have to keep clicking between them like how I would on my Mac
How were you able to get this as a college student? What parents get this kind of luxury good for their kids or how did you have the money for it?
@@Poever they either goes to a prestigious school and/or parents have money or just said yolo and doing monthly payments who knows🤷🏻♂️
@@Poever they had nothing to do with it, I have multiple sources of income and can afford stuff like that
@@PoeverI am a college student and plan on getting one too. I work really hard and am also an employee. If I wasn’t an Apple employee I probably wouldn’t get one just because I get it discounted lol
I love that you take both sides and explain both sides fairly
It's clear that VR tech just still isn't there yet. Until it can offer all the benefits without any drawbacks, it will continue to be a niche market!
That's how smartphones, smartwatch, true wireless earbuds were looked at one day too! Now look at them.
@@deezpleez3832But Smartphones got better much faster and became mainstream after like maybe 5 years of being out. Vr has been around since 2012 and is still niche.
I think ar will go mainstream as soon as we can put them into normal glasses meaning u see the actual world with the pixels in the glass and not a live camera feed.
That doesnt mean i am not excited about the vision pro. Its such a cool product!
@@deezpleez3832that’s his point. Which is why he said things like “yet” and “until”.
I think at best the Vision Pro is used in professional setting like replacing the Mac Studio or Mac Pro if they pack a M3 Ultra chip. It is just too expensive and bulky for average users to be used in these from factor. The vision line is supposed to be used at home similar to a desktop Mac. The from factor isn’t very portable or cheap to made, second or third gen can’t fix this
I believe VR glasses are already ready to the public, using the iPhone to process and can be made below $1000, having a light from factor like your glasses since you just need battery, transparent display, camera and speaker. Spatial computing is likely exclusive to the vision line since this is more of a smartphone alternative. With a transparent display, they don’t have to worry about pass through and user probably uses a IR ring to control stuff to save on cost and hardware space. Most importantly of all, it have to have advantage in communication or productivity. Or else it is just an Apple version of the PS5 headset.
This is generation 1, these issues and others will be ironed out in subsequent generations. Generation 1 is meant for the early adopters who expect these issues to be present.
Great honest and raw review. We need more people on UA-cam making these exact videos, great job!
1:50 You sure thats not a mugshot ?
Yeah that’s a picture of himslef
Just saying, you got a big target wearing this on your head, wait till someone snatches it and resells it on eBay
Kinda not true. You can say the same about holding a iphone, expensive watch, necklace, expensive hat, airpods max. Everything can be snatched.
probably not as easy as it looks tbh
Nobody could steal one of those in public. You would be proving your head around struggling. And bystanders would probably help as well.
@@aaronvonkeman1922 even a car
Of course a black dude is saying this
Awesome video, verry informative as always from this amazing channel!
Been watching you video ever since.. Love that you explained the other side with such honesty and fairness. Thumbs up for that!
Not really. He's clearly an Apple fanboy, so kinda biased.
The Vision Pro is great. But it has a long way to go and more room for necessary improvements
Thanks for honesty!
So glad they mentioned all these things as they mean a ton to me!!!!
I had a demo at my local store, this thing really wow me , it’s the most amazing piece of tech I ever try in my life yet, this is the most exciting thing apple ever released yet, it’s like you have the IPhone, Mac, IPad, AirPod, apple TV and more in one piece of tech, it might not be for the mass public yet, it’s still not perfect, it’s a first generation product, it might feel weird to use in public but if you really into tech, love apple products and don’t mind dumping thousands of dollars on it, trust me you will love it.
Will definitely get one myself, this is truly the feature.
I have one and I LOVE it! I have not experienced any of these negatives. It's an amazing device! You have to see it to believe it!
Great video, saw it a few days before, didn’t leasing to it and bought it anyway, and now I’m returning them for the exact same reasons this video says… didn’t think they were so real as this video says
Hey, Greg! I just noticed that the perspective zoom or parallax effect has been gone since iOS 16, but apple Apple didn't mention why. Can you make a video for it? Maybe some users glad it was removed since it could prevent battery from draining, but I always turn on that feature since iOS 7.
Device is great, wish they would continue making more of these at a lower price
But seriously love the video!
How the hell do you have more subscribers than me?
@@MK8MasterJunjie lol your right that guys channel is literal brainrot to the maximum
@@Dugadoremi What do you think of my channel though?
Reminds me reading about stories about from when the first iPhone came out about similar issues in a way. Basically they’re still need to iron out the wrinkles. I feel like it has potential and it will succeed like the iPhone did!
Very helpful, thanks!
The moment the weight na for ice drop to reasonable levels I’d love to get one of these
Thank you ❤
I've heard that the pass through is great and that you can use your phone just fine
I was skeptical at first about how honest you were going to be and thought you’ll only praise the device, seeing that your channel’s name has “apple” in it, but you proved me wrong! I’m so glad that you pointed out the flaws too without sugarcoating any. I’m reconsidering buying this.
Yes by saying it's amazing anyway at the end lol. Very honest.
just realised this was 11 mins ago and keep up the content
I think your observations are correct from my experience with an Apple Store demo
For a 1st gen, it's pretty good and well thought. And of course cuz it's 1st gen, it comes with a lot of downsides, but most reviewers i have watched on youtube never talked about the down sides.
Thanks for pointing out the weaknesses for viewers.
If Steve Jobs was still the CEO, he would never allow the first gen to release like this.
Got to try it in store, hands down the best headset regardless. I didn't find it blurring that much (or i never really paid attention to it). My demo was also equipped with Zeiss lenses so I didn't really notice the green/pink color fringing. However, I do agree with the fact it looks like you're looking through binoculars but halfway my demo I completely ignored it. The weight is real, it was great at first but again halfway through it didn't feel great... nevertheless it's an amazing product
Lighting at home is not the same than lighting in stores
I think you have a lot of viewers outside of America, so could you please consider providing information in the International System of Units (SI) along with the American system? Thank you in advance.❤
When will you upload your video creation explainers? 3:28
I’m surprised there isn’t some sort of “Vision Pro Mode” to automatically enhance the size of text on iPhone and iPad if you are using Vision Pro to solve the readability problem
I was wondering if Face ID would work while wearing the Vision Pro. I’m surprised there isn’t a way to use Optic ID combined with a partial Face ID scan to detect that it is you wearing the headset and trying to use your iPhone at the same time.
If you go into Face ID and Passcode in settings there is an option to unlock with Apple Watch ⌚️ it’s unlocked for me several times so it’s worked for me while wearing Vision Pro
@@ElijahPlus_MediaAh, so at least there’s a workaround for the time being
Me and my roommate tried out the vision pro and we where both impressed! However it’s a bit to expensive for us!
The Apple Vision Pro for me is great- I use it to project the screen from my MacBook for a bigger screen size for movies but as far as the bluriness of the background, it’s really not that good. Plus after using it for a while it hurts my head considering the weight
Can you buy a one for me pleas❤
@@Mohammedmadi2stop being useless and begging. Work for it jobless commenter
@@Mohammedmadi2no, begger. Go outside and find way to afford it.
Well, is version 1 right? if you can afford it, ENJOY IT. I think it is AWESOME and worth trying
Why are so many people having these issues? I have not experienced any of these mentioned, except for the pass through when there is no light on, but that is the case with any VR/AR headset. AVP is extraordinary! I honestly believe a lot of users are discovering that their eyesight is worse than they thought. Maybe you guys should invest in smart bulbs for better lighting. My Pass through is pretty damn good.
wow this could be true
This product reminds me to the Apple Pro wheels. Unneeded but stylish and a good add on if you’re able to afford it. Most people should and won’t buy, but it’s there for the super enthusiasts. Apple Vision will become more mainstream like the IPhone when the affordability comes down to a reasonable price for the average person, in time.
I may eventually get one someday, when they become cheaper and lighter. Maybe the second or third GEN.
Thanks for keep in it real
I believe it may be a glitch in the foveated rendering which causes the blurriness but the passthrough is still slightly grainy
Hopefully Apple will fix those issues and make it the same way they promoted from there preview.
Just like the first iPhone, which started with compromises and a huge price relative to other options, I guess it's just patience that consumers must have as well as reviews like this that will help Apple to hit a stride they're comfortable with
Hey
I know This sound stupid but
In Android there we can go to setting's developer option and less the animation speed .5 which makes smartphone smooth like 120hz refresh rate if device don't have (even cheapest Android give 90hz atleast 😗)
So why iphone don't have same kind of setting to do our iphone smoother .
Explain if .😅
It has been okay for me so far using it as a college student. I take an online English class on zoom and I was able to join my zoom meeting using AVP while also using my Magic Keyboard to type an essay. One thing that sucks though is that Apple Vision Pro doesn’t support using the Magic Mouse yet so you’re stuck using your hands to move things around for right now.
As far as clarity in terms of being able to see your environment, I actually was able to navigate my college campus quite well with the headset on. It’s not super clear like as seen in the advertisements Apple has released for it but it’s not super bad either. The FOV though is something you have to keep in mind of particularly when people are walking close by.
You were walking around campus with it on?
@@jarencascino7604 yes
Can you make video about history of Apple Vision Pro from development stage in 2015 to release day in 2024 please 🙏🏻.
Since this is the Vision pro, hopefully they will release a normal version (with less features) for like $1500
We also have the fact that our brains use focal points during stereoscopic vision and that constantly having the same focus on the eyes regardless of the distance and with the other limitations is not good in the long run.
This device might be a good replacement for a private screen though when sitting down.
They should start using infrared cameras for the next vision pro for hand tracking and night vision
RE: difficult to read your phone with AVP... But you can certainly read texts while wearing AVP, erasing the need to do that on your phone. Likewise take calls, listen to music, view photos, etc. So, while I *agree* that you *should* be able to read small print, etc. while wearing AVP, it does seem odd that difficulty reading the phone while wearing this device is considered a problem. The AVP does do all the basics that the phone does, right? Of course, we'll grant that it's also difficult, apparently, to type on the virtual keyboard and so texting, which we all use the phone for most of all, is harder on the AVP. That certainly needs to be fixed.
Thank you! This is what I need it. Everyone just say amazing stuff. Now saved me 3.5k. I’m gonna wait for a later gen so I don’t buy again when this problem are gone…
Song name?
I love this channel ❤️
i kinda feel like the normal glasses formfactor like the nreal air are better. that doesnt use cameras to transmit the outside world into your vision but Instead optically blends the image into your views. oh and these are cheaper and look better...
What a great Apple Explained video!
It’s just the first headset Apple made
Apple will definitely improve the headset in the next few years
Oooh. Greg took it personally. 🔥
It’s worth the price tag if you’re a vr/ar fan and an apple enthusiast. I love mine and blows me away each time I use it.
Why is it I’ve never seen any of these faults mentioned anywhere else? I’m considering one so have watched way too many reviews, but this one is a bit bazar.
I feel like to buy this
We have to see its long-term effects on eyesight for any potential cause of myopia
It's really weird because I follow a UA-camur not affiliated with Apple for Vision Pro, and he say that it's really incredible, like watch trough glasses. However, he say that we can't use Vision Pro on a train (for exemple) due to the movements, and that we have to use a special mode.
I thought I was the only one seeing blurry surroundings. Thought I had a defective unit because I also use optical inserts
My experience with VR has been largely negative, I get headaches, motion sickness and even after trying for weeks I couldn’t bear way things look
I used the PSVR2 and sold it after 4 months.
they blur the edges so u dont get headaches
I’m going to look see what Joanna Stern said again. Can remember any of this.
All I can say is that it’s gonna take time to improve and for a 1st gen product this is very good! 😮😅😊
Well thank you
We really appreciate the honesty. I’m an Apple only user but all these Apple fanboys are insanely annoying and make people buy products that may aren’t even that good to begin with.
All of these issues feel like gen-1 issues that could (and probably would) be fixed in future releases.
What did you think this was ??? Of course vr doesn’t work with no light. The sensor need to see you
What did ppl expect. Have they never used vr pass through. Everyone knows you can’t get perfect vision for soooooo many reason. I was stunned how good the pass through was. And the low persistence from screen
Just wait till they make the next version and most of these problems could probably be fixed
0:42 it's weird that unlocking iPhone doesn't work while wearing Vision Pro. Knowing apple's focus on their ecosystem. I would have guessed they thought of that too like sync the iPhone and Vision Pro so when both are facing each other, it automatically unlocks the iPhone.
Yes
Why don't we use multiple apps in iPhone
Like floating window.
Even that now processor is so powerful but not utilised fully .
😆
Man, I don’t experience majority of the complaints in this video lol
Blurryness is not an issue when using phone or watch
Low light works good enough for me
Although unnecessary for me, Use the dual loop band if it’s too heavy or put on a hat/beanie to help with comfort
If you see a slight glare when watching a movie, it’s because of the reflection of lenses of bright white colors with a dark background. Change the background to a light color and problem is solved
I like how Apple wasn't putting MacOS on an iPad for the longest time lest they mess up their delicate ecosystem (wouldn't want an iPad user to keep using their iPad instead of a Mac!), and then they release a product that can replace literally every device in their product lineup.
I actually found it pretty comfortable and didnt have any eye issues. Maybe my eyes arent good enough to notice
or maybe you don't have eye issues at all
Not gonna lie, if they make the VP more accessible in terms of affordability and the machine itself (making it way smaller maybe thicker glasses), then this really may just be the future and will replace smartphones/tablets/laptops
Yeah I have one, its real good, clearest screen I’ve used on a headset and I’m use to the weight because I’m use to wearing headsets 💁 the Apple Vision Pro is awesome
Since this is a first-gen product, lots of these issues will likely be fixed in future generations of the Apple Vision Pro.
From a channel that usually defends apple’s decisions it is refreshing to see you take the other stance. I applaud you for that! We must not forget that this headset is very expensive and is just a glimpse of what will become the mixed reality of the future. However it is still is a 3500$ first generation flawed product.
Just wait for vision pro 2
Remember that the first iPhone had many issues and it was more expensive than for example basic Nokia. After that, iPhones got cheaper and they did many improvements. We just have to wait to Apple vision pro upgrade.
Who is this many I’ve seen people not have these experiences they even used in the dark
I love watching videos about tech im too poor to buy
Before you buy, sell a kidney…..
Rob a bank
Kidney cost more than that
Before you buy, work hard and save up for it or research if it’s ideal for you.
TL;DW it suffers from the same issues as all other VR headsets.
I love this brutal review. I always tought that Greg was a huge fanboy of apple. And who isn't? we all are in some level a fanboys, but this is the first honest a brutal opinion and even I can earh some frustation on the review. Thanks A LOT.
It’s by no means 480 blurry. It’s 4k per eye what is this guy saying
I CANT BREATHE THE PHOTO OF YOU AT 1:50 MADE ME SCARED DAFKLJJKDLFKJLD
But seriously, this is insane. Sometimes, even the luxurious of products will give you some consequences.
Why wear something to see the “real word” when you can just see it if you take it off. Good video!!
The engineering in this unit is beyond anything we have seen this before & it will take a few years before they had have sorted out the teething problems, etc
Quest 3 exist and VR has been here for almost a decade. Y’all just living under your rock
0:42 and that's why in screen fingerprint scanners exists 😅
Keep in mind that this is Apple's first time making a VR/AR headset, so it's gonna have some issues. I'm sure it'll eventually get figured out when they start releasing new versions
😳 Hope you still get invited to Apple Events after this video. You were just telling the truth.
I mean, it’s clearly the best vr headset available in the market right now despite all the drawbacks
