I paid $7000 for the first gen Apple laser printer. 300 dpi and 3 fonts. But I made $40k with it the first 3 months, simply by doing desktop publishing for people who were ok with the lesser quality in exchange for a much lower price for camera-ready documents for offset printing. I’m not prepared right now to buy THIS, but I get the enthusiasm. Right now, I’m less interested in using one myself than I am in possibly *developing* apps for it. I do think one year from now, more of its advantages will emerge as first users start to recognize what it enables. Apple has spent many decades designing things nobody imagined they wanted, but that ended up becoming deeply valuable, even if in ways different from Apple’s intent. The first Mac was Jobs idea of “a bicycle for your mind.” Nobody saw where that would lead, or imagined Macs would one day be used to, for example, edit both film and audio for feature films… For me, skill acquisition possibilities for Vision Pro is enough for me to dust off my coding skills and add new ones to build apps. I’m still giving it a while to see how early adopters fare, but tbh I agree with you that it WILL become more significant a jump in possibilities than the iPhone was. Even while I have no idea what those will be 😁
I did too. Same one you got (1 TB), pickup on 2/2. My face scan was buggy and made me update my phone even though I was already at 17.2, but I was still able to get mine and get the first day pickup option. I am going to create music production content in the headset for my upcoming channel. Kudos on your purchase/pre-order!
@@diotitus the weak minded being can not see the future if it bit them in the ass. Crying babies will always miss their momma as she walks out the door to collect things of value for the baby. When people sailed the seas and many died for doing so, it was the damn naysayers who said I am telling you it is not wise. For the bold adventures that charted a course forward, they dragged kicking and screaming the fools that now enjoy the future they brought forth. Simple minds said it was a waste of time to build out electricity when you have a perfectly good candle without all the hassle. Why don’t you go live with those dead beings of the past and let those of us celebrating this day have our time in the sun? In fact, get off your ass and go invent something yourself. Something that puts a smile on someone’s face and stop trying to down stomp. You really want to see yourself as that kind of being? Like why are you here? Even on this planet? Give and do. Don’t steal good feelings from others. Are they harming your joy somehow for being happy about electricity? Or is it that you are married to the Candle Gods of our past? You haven’t even tried this thing yet for a second. But you are sure as all get out that your mouth is more vital to the conversation yeah? Like it costs you a few seconds of typing to be sure we who bought it don’t understand what we signed up for. We know we could buy all of the other Apple gear for this price. You think we don’t know? Don’t be a fool. We are the ones wanting to pay an arm and a leg to get on that boat headed to the future. And your jeers and sneers are echos of idiots who stayed on the shore and still hold candles to light their way. Good night to you dear sir. You know not of what you speak. P.S. sucks I had to edit such a fine response because I typed deer sir instead of dear sir lol. We all have our follies. Just be a good person vs being a Negative Nelly. The world really can use you being a good dude. Come on mate, your name has the word idiot in it of you just shift one letter.
Loved the reflection from a guy that just finds the excitement and enthusiasm out of a 1st generation product! I’m with you on that Greg, some people not as enthusiastic won’t get it and that is fine.
I’m on your side mate! I do believe that vr/ar will be the next big thing in a couple of years. Look forward for the Vision SE, vision sport Nike edition or the vision air. Congrats for you purchase that’s a nice one!
This is actually big moment for Quest 3, because many will get to know about VR because of media coverage of Apple Vision Pro then they cant buy it cuz too expensive so they try cheaper ones like Quest 3 !
@@dronyland I doubt it’s better than the Vision Pro, but they have much better price/performance for sure… clearly Apple will continue to be Apple and Quest will be what it is today, an Android device that targets another segment.
I mean once it gets the mac apps and stuff made for it maybe if someone wants it for a laptop replacement... But yeah in all the recent stuff I've seen nothing this does that the Quest 3 does not... But to be fair it does them all with a ton more polish and clarity.
It’s honestly very interesting and confusing to compare gen 1 iPhone to gen 1 Vision Pro because Apple is so much more established now via software/hardware. We have all the apps that are necessary so I don’t think they are necessarily starting at the same point. No doubt though that in terms of vr/spatial computing there are many years of advancement ahead of us. I ordered a 512gb model this morning and I am extremely excited going from Oculus Rift
The AVP looks outdated already when comparing it to the shape of a Bigscreen Beyond or an XReal. Certainly for a 'good' reason to get all the stuff running inside, but it's really too front-heavy and the battery should be in the back like with the Pico 4 as counterweight. I guess they already have a headstrap that can do it on schedule because like it is now, it get's annoying too soon to be used as a display-replacement.
Right, I don’t get why people mention the iPhone 1 it’s a such a stupid way to compare it. Apple is already established. The only thing stopping this product from being amazing is the weight and how big it is. Version 3 will be much lighter
If it were just 2,500 bucks yeah I would get it. I feel like this first version would quickly collect dust after the honey moon phase. I don’t have that kind of money to burn for such a short trip
Price is steep for sure. I did order mine but def wish it were cheaper. Highly doubt it collects dust as all the collective parts are superb and the reason most prior products like this collect dust is they were lacking the years of R&D and Billions poured into refining every detail. Its only drawback is that it isn’t even what Apple wants. They’d love for it to be thinner and lighter, but the tech just isn’t there yet. My thoughts at least.
@oblocals they can do already a lighter model, but that will be called just Vision (so probably just without the Pro), but developers use this as a developer tool recently, they can't give them a device, what is only allow them to test half of the features (but removing the outside display can reduce the weight and the cost greatly for a cheaper later model for example)
Greg - I have been into tech for my entire life as well. In fact, it’s been my passion and my career. I’ve worked in the tech industry as an electrical and computer engineer since 1977 and have taught upwards of 50 different courses in IT and engineering and business at college. I currently have my own IT business as well. That said, I couldn’t justify the $3500 price plus tax and corrective lenses even though I agree that is an important tech product. You mentioned that you would have bought the Vision Pro even if you weren’t an Apple tech UA-camr. Over the years I’ve owned many first gen Apple products (Mac, Newton, MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Watch, etc). I’ve even owned the first gen of the TRS-80 from Radio Shack, the IBM PC, the Pebble Smart Watch, the JVC camcorder and VCR, the HP and Sinclair and TI calculators, the BlackBerry, and the Palm Pilot (and Visor). If I had a plan to develop significant apps for the Vision Pro or had a decent size Apple tech UA-cam channel, I would have bought the device. I did go through the process to see how the purchasing process looked, including scanning my face and picking out a memory size and was able to get one in my cart at 8AM EST. I even watched a UA-cam channel that lived streamed at 8AM as people checked out or discussed the process, just to see how much interest there was. A lot of buyers were planning to flip them on eBay for $5K or more and the numbers available on eBay right now are pretty significant with 1250+ current listings! I’m looking forward seeing this product category mature and will definitely participate at some point. There is a lot of interest in products like this, as witnessed by the 2016 $2B acquisition of the Oculus Rift by Facebook / Meta and the heavy investments by Google and Samsung, etc. Thanks for buying the device. It looks like you picked the same memory size as Luke Miani and I’m hoping you’ll partner with him and others on delivering content. I look forward to the upcoming reviews! I can easily imagine a day when shopping on Amazon will be a lot more like being in a store and less like browsing through a list of words and photos. I look forward to a time when UA-cam videos are 3D and just like being there, but first UA-cam will have to get on board with the content!
@@TamasKiss-yk4st Agreed. It has been well speculated that by having the word Pro in this versions name means that there will be a striped back version just called Vision. Obviously any time you engineer a product this complicated there will be tradeoffs. There is no doubt they are already working on a less expensive version and lighter version. I know they wanted to set the bar with this version. I definitely understand the price with everything that went into it. M2 Chip, R1 Chip, 2 Crazy Micro Displays with 35 Million Pixels, All the Camera's, Mics and Sensors, Audio Tech that Rivals their best headphones, and the Billions of R&D in spending to refine this and develop the tech to make it a real product. Not to mention the software alone that is certainly an impressive feat. Anyone who thinks this is just Apple raking people over the coals by charging the Apple Tax certainly doesn't truly understand the tech that has gone into this device. I'd have been happy with all the tech and just remove the Glass and Aluminum that make it heavier. I understand their desire to have the outer screen so people feel connected to you while you're wearing it but personally could have done without that. I think even in a cheaper model, they will keep some kind outer screen that people can at least tell you are paying attention to them. We'll find out. Thanks for your reply...
I remember having an iPhone when it couldn’t even send images to others via text, but my older flip phone could. I think this will be amazing to start, and can’t wait to see how it gets better. I’m hoping getting the 512GB model wasn’t a mistake on my part
I worked for Verizon when the first iPhone dropped and they didn’t offer it. I remember being told to not endorse and emphasize the fact it couldn’t text pics.
it is an interesting device im going to guess it will be too uncomfortable to use for extended periods of times. but its a like a 3d laptop in which you dont need a table and can essentially use it anywhere you want. 3d optics will be great for game development as well as VR content.
@@neovalkyr we will see. I ended up buying the 512g. Every other vr that I have used, I had the same thought, these are good but not quite there yet. I hope this is it. I am a little worried that once the novelty has worn off. It will sit and collect dust like my others. So for this price, this head set needs to figure out a way to stay relevant and be an actual tool instead of a gimmick.
I think a big hit with this in the future will be both spatial computing and experiences. Think about being able to watch a space shuttle launch, be live on a space walk, being at events live that you can’t attend like sporting events, concerts, the president speaking, etc. between all of this, spatial computing, photos and movie watching, it will be crazy. Sure you can do these things on other devises, but the clarity/fedelity , sound input method is what separates it along with it literally being a laptop! Last thing. I almost positive that hardcore gaming is coming to this. Apple just want to market it as otherwise for now!
12:37 Excellent point on how it might actually cause people to become more interactive since their heads aren't facing down into a phone screen all the time.
I’ve been watching a ton of Apple Vision Pro videos (after ordering mine the other day) and this is my favorite one so far. You really captured how I’m feeling about this thing. Thanks Greg!
Agree, see this an an investment for your UA-cam channel. 3.5 k for a first gen product is too much for me. As in the past I did the same for the folding Samsung phone. I got to wait until the apps catch up. Apple is investing in a future beyond phones
@@austinmatson7986that’s not how it works. There is no such thing as “writing it off” and getting something free. Please go take a tax class before commenting publicly about taxes.
650 grams is awesome! The Varjo XR-4 that I have is 1000 grams and doesn’t have a battery. The Pimax Crystal with battery is 1240 grams. 650 is nothing if you are into VR. This makes me even more excited from mine to arrive on the 2nd knowing it’s so lite!
Yeah its nothing! Pico 4 is 295g and bigscreen beyond is 127g. 650g is great! Truly revolutionary. Only Apple could do it! It's nothing if you're into VR for sure. Wait what do you mean the vision pro isn't built for VR and can't do PCVR? Huh??!!
@@michaelblue4619 You miss the point here…compared to other high end headsets it’s quite lite and people being all worried about the weight, it’s a non issue. Also who said anything about PCVR? I didn’t. I’m fully aware what it is and it is not. So take sarcastic attitude and step off bitch!
I bought this but I was annoyed with the different storage tiers as well as add ons for extra batteries, and wireless keyboard, wireless scroll pad and at the very least they could’ve included the carrying case but even that was extra and way more expensive then it needs to be. If this doesn’t knock my socks off I will be returning everything.
Is the OS more Mac or more IPad OS? This is why we let you tech channels do the product testing, we want to hear what you think once you’ve used it. Then we can determine if this fits our use case.
It’s more iPad OS. iPad apps with big rectangular boxes of iPad apps. The goal is probably to make it more Mac OS eventually. But with a first gen product they needed to start somewhere
They’ll sell almost half a million by Q3 so I do think this product will not only be very successful but also popular. I believe that by Gen 2, most people might be able to afford it. Especially those who already own an iPad or Mac as you can mirror the screen and actually get work done.
I’m very interested in getting the (hopefully cheaper) second generation Vision headset whenever it’s available. What interests me most is being able to record important life events in a highly immersive way that (allegedly) lets you relive the moment years into the future like you’re really there
I owned the 2nd gen Macintosh - Macintosh 512K, the Newton, and an 1st gen iPhone. When I first saw the Macintosh in '84, I realized I would never look back. It completely changed the game and it took the industry years to realize it. I recognized the same thing in the iPhone. (The Newton was just too early for the tech.) The Vision Pro is absolutely the next UI paradigm. The Mac was look and point with your hand. The iPhone was look and touch. The Vision Pro is look.
16:26 The Vision Pro will never replace a Mac, just as the Ipad Pro never replaced the mac although it has the Hardware for it. Apple wants needs you to buy all their Devices to make them work and do basic function.
I’m very worried my headset size is wrong, I notoriously have a hard time finding hats that fit, and it gave me a small band sizing, I contacted support and they said I can get a proper fit at no extra charge if it doesn’t fit, but I hope they’ll have those fits in stock so I don’t have to wait longer
Im a pretty big vr enthusiast and use my quest 3 for mostly gaming and movies and Im really looking forward to reviews and comparisons to other headsets of the vision pro, cuse things like passthrough and exspecially handtracking arealready pretty great on quest 3 and it will be interesting to see what apple made out of it. Hoping that the vision pro will get features like quest link which is pretty use full or just accessoires like headstraps with extra batteries like the bobo vr m3.
Greg, I remember the day I got the 1st release of the Apple Newton. I still have all my Newtons. They still work! I remember my Apple 2e, my 1st laptop and all the other Apple products. I was an educator in Australia and we have a better attitude and financial support about education than than what happens in the USA. We got these products given to us by Apple OT got them at a nominal cost. It worked as Australian Primary Schools became centres for Apple computing. They did have to include or update the spelling dictionary grin. So i understand your excitment about the Vision Pro.
I just bought one. Apple Vision Pro 256GB Solo knit band - S, Dual Loop Band - S. I am a little worried about the 'S'. My body and head size is not small at all. 6ft. 225lbs; head size quite proportional if not a bit large. hmmmmm. I hope it will fit. Delivery is Feb 5th.
please test if you can use it with Final Cut Pro for an extended periode of time. And if you want to. What benefits and problems will wearing an Apple Vision Pro have when editing in Final Cut Pro have. Can you trust the colours when you do color grading. If so it might be a cheaper Pro XDR option.
How much do you think the Vision Pro will be worth in 20 years for collectors if one bought one for saving unopened in its original box? Because it has a customized fit will Apple be selling the same faceplate 20 years from now? How much is an original iPhone unopened worth today?
By the way consumer VR is in it's like 5th generation pretty much just count each release form Rift DV1/2 to Quest 3 but it is the first gen True Mixed Reality Headset like the quest 3 kinda like how the N64 is the first gen 3D console despite being 5th gen game console. Still while much less polished the Quest 3 is a much more mature product atleast from what people have said recently about the Vision pro... So, it really boils done to at5 the current time... Do you want that polish that apple magic or do you want a do it all but phone device. Assuming you can afford them and you only want one.
There’s a lot of tech reviewers out there but your content feels truly genuine and that’s so rare no a days. Most channels feel like one big promotion,instead of honest enthusiasm for the topic or item being showcased. As a viewer,I want to thank you for creating a place here on UA-cam where tech feels exciting again! I think I’m equally stoked to watch your upcoming Vision Pro videos as you are making them,keep up the good work!
You are exactly speaking out my mind. These are my very thoughts for wanting to buy AVP. But I will buy it when it is available in India. It will certainly enhance productivity rather than just playing games.
To me, it’s a $3500 studio. It can function as an office, multiple monitors, internet device, and so much more. So for example, instead of buying a fancy desk and chair, and other gizmos that come with building a small studio/office, you could get a Vision Pro and keep your workflow while removing clutter
I absolutely agree with your view on it! And I think that the controls are revolutionary - you don't have your hands all around to control it; it's discrete and just the right way to go. The eyesight may also look funny, but it's also a really smart way to fix one of the big problems with headsets. I don't have the money to get one, but I can't wait to try it in an apple store once it gets to Europe :)
GREG…. I NEEEED TO YOU TO GET ONE. I would if I COULD. I’m an Apple fanboy since the early box Macintosh desktops. So I’ll be experiencing Vision Pro vicariously through YOU, my Apple Guy.
Man I nearly bought it but 4800 overall was too much. I earmarked 3700 but after upping the memory, adding AppleCare, a case and a cover it ballooned. I would have been good with it still but they kept so much quiet to include a video of someone using it I can’t wait.
I gotta be honest...if I had the money for it, or if it made sense to make huge (for me) monthly payments on one...I'd absolutely pick one up for pre-order. As is, I'm waiting with a lot of interest in how things unfold within the next year or 2. It's not there for me yet...it doesn't seem like it does enough yet for me...but I really do think the future for this thing is bright.
Everyone likes to think that VR headsets isolate people, and in a physical sense they can. But many of the more and most popular vr games had been social games. They also allow for more realistic socializing due to having a 3D entity that can move. A zoom meeting is just the flag 2D image of a face, but VR offers a semi-physical space to meet someone and body language and movement. But now with the Vision Pro letting you see through it, you can start getting the benefits of both. Not fully isolating you physically and also providing wayyy more social interaction inside the digital space compared to a phone or computer. Plus, it gives more validity and another path of progress to VR as a whole. I hope it ends up well, and I hope you can get out of it what you desire!
They isolate people from friends and family IN REAL LIFE. Games also isolate people, but many of the games that cause people to hole up in their rooms are the MMORPGs.
I really want to purchase this... still need a strong reason. This def is the first real usable headset for work apps. all the previous headsets have been "for me" a put it in the shelf and never touch it. I do feel if I buy this, it will be more useful than games. I absolutely dig the productivity setup with this and content consumption at high resolution, which has been what I wanted. Very worried about it being a gen 1 product for ~4000$. and if apple updates it in a year or two, lowers the price and gives a strong option, it would be painful lol. Still pondering and fighting with my "buy it" part of the brain for sure
I really like it but the only issue is having something around my head, reminds me of something I saw in a sci-fi film. If it was possible to have it in spectacle format it will be best.
I'm with you on the first gen experience...and that being an exciting thing. Definitely a dev/business expense, for me, as I did order it this morning and getting it 2/2.
So the vision pro is 6 Mega Pixels per camera and and the Quest 3 is 4 Mega Pixels per camera so the Quest 3 is not that far off as I thought the cameras was going to be way more Mega Pixels than the Quest 3 cameras
That all don't matter. It is the response time on the pass through view that matters. And they say it's fast. Most likely because it has it's own separate CPU the R1 for it.
I'm excited for it and have been on the fence about it. I think I'm going to wait until its out and about. The most exciting thing to me is that it connects to hardware via bluetooth and can connect to a mac directly. The potential for work environments is huge. It's definitely a new computing experience and i'm excited to see where it goes.
Just bought 1TB version. Here's what I want to see in Vision Pro 2: - Cellular service to allow me to discard my phone; - Thumb drive port for uploading or downloading photos or video; - Retina display (60+/- pixels per degree of viewing arc); M3 chip; - 4K stereo video recording; - 4K AirPlay screen mirroring; - Apple Pencil (or wand?) support for drawing apps; - Runs MacBook apps natively. - Space sharing, to permit multiple people in the same room to see and interact with virtual objects for collaboration (a la Tony Stark); - 50 grams lighter
My guess is Apple won't include cellular service in the AVP since they want you to buy an iPhone instead, so at least for the near futuree they might have the AVP link via BlueTooth to your iPhone, as is currently done with the Apple Watch. For all I know, the AVP might do this right out of the box now, but I haven't seen anything abou this. Apple might put a USB-C port on a future AVP for uploading/downloading files, but as with the iPhone and Watch, I suspect Apple will rely for now on a wireless connection, using AirDrop. Your other suggestions are more likely to see implementation in the fairly near future, as in the next to to three years (maybe sooner for some of them!).
@@JohnMSawyer This makes me wonder why Apple put Cellular into iPad. Wouldn't they refuse to do that for the same reason? I'm scratching my head over this.
@@rkarnes6304 It's possible Apple included cellular circuitry in the iPad since they were hoping this would expand their customer base to people who wanted a tablet and also wanted a cellular connection, but who didn't want to buy an iPhone to get it.
I feel that the Vision Pro will replace my MacBook Pro MAX and 2 34 inch monitors. It will be a portable version where I can have even more than 3 monitors and be in any room of the house, and on trains, planes, and aulomobiles (passenger) as well. I also feel that by having more windows, I'll be more productive vs. moving and resizing windows too frequently. Then there is all the entertainment potential which, for me, is icing on the cake.
Can't agree more to what you jsaid.. Its opening so many possibilities on how we interact with our devices and probably going to do in the next 20-30 years.. You made a subscriber!
I really wanna see on what software you can edit a video actually on the vision Pro. Ipads are still so Bad for real Work and the Data management is going to be a big hassle with the over simplified UI. With the Vision Pro it will be even worse. It will end up as incredible expensive VR Headset for your Mac. And then you dont need a M2 in this and it will be so unconfortable with the weight and the 2 > Hours of Batterylife.
The first iPhone had so many issues. Jailbreaking it was loads of fun. And let's not forget that at the keynote presentation. They kept swapping out the iPhone that Steve Jobs was working with due to known bugs that were still rampant
13:15 I mean we have answeres to all those questions thanks to consumjer VR being 5 gen tech and the quest 3 being a few mont6hs old... Which it all depends on you and what you are willing to do with the tech and your llfe. As for the socal thing MR is really nice for that as you can double tap on your quest 3 then look around. And it was the first thing I did with my headset was play grab the menu bar with my grandparents their first XR experience. Even though I was the one with the headset and they just looked as my phone to grab the bar using the hand tracking on the headset and the ophone to see it... And working and commsming media also works great though I prefer flat for that a home. Though I might on the go over my phone and lap top be the Quest 3 is less combersum that a lap top and more easy for me to use then a phone
I'm not a UA-camr and I wanted to get one but because they are not offering support outside of the US I'll have to wait til it's available in Canada. I guess they'll probably have a lot of kinks worked out by then and maybe even have a 2nd or 3rd gen by then. Unless its like the apple credit card that we still can't get after all this time.
Greg, Thanks , as always , for the video. While I sooooo often have a kink in launch day orders (I’ve been Mac consultant since 1984), my order went PERFECTLY well. I’m super shocked. The AopleCare price made me VERBALLY “ouch!” But I bit the bullet in that and 1tb. So 5 friigin $K. That said, not as dumb as my December 2019 $12k purchase of MacPro 6 months before Apple Silicon. I MAY be dumb to do this. But, since 1984, it is my obsession and business. But I have no idea how useful this will be. And I surely will have to spend ANOTHER $5k in 3 years when they get this right. But, now I am SWEATING bullets waiting for the god named ZEISS to approve my subscription. I won’t rest until I know they don’t cancel my order from my aged eyes 👀. Thanks again for video. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏️ & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]
I got the 512GB model and reading glasses insert. What I noticed in the shipping is that they were separate. So even if your corrective eye insert subscription is not accepted, you should still get your Vision Pro order. And be able to address the eye thing with an Apple Store in the worst case scenario. Hopefully. Enjoy your device. I am so looking forward to mine. Feel like a kid again when you use to believe in something magical. Been a while since I felt this excited.
@@oblocals ZEISS just confirmed my prescription. So, I’m locked and loaded for Feb 2. And, yes, like you , I am super stoked. Only 128k mac in 1984 had me excited. And iPhone 1. That said, I’m fully aware, both of those products SUCKED until the 3rd generation. But never regretted being on the ground floor of the tech world entering a new dimension. I’m already saving for Vision Pro 3rd generation in 3-4 years. So I have that to look forward to. In the interim I hope to be able to play hundreds of hours of Insta360 footage in 360 with this. And lots of special videos. And I no longer have to spend the $2k I was going to spend on an lg 40” ultra wide monitor. We will be able to say we will ALWAYS remember Feb 2, 2024! - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏️ & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]
highly recommend not to walk when you are connected to a power supply :) its similar to asking - what would happen if I dropped it on a rock... I think It will shut off - abruptly for sure since it does not have any built in power source to shutdown gracefully
The dropping of any beloved device is a terrible day. But if you supposed to be immersed in whatever you’re doing on the device and then your battery dies or you need to turn it off to replace a battery that seems like a terrible user experience
Is there like a "family mode" for when more than one person starts watching a movie? For example, 2 users each with their own Apple vision wanting to watch the same movie together?
I am very excited to see where The Apple Vision Pro goes and how developers are going to use it. I think the best position for this product is between an iPad and a MacBook pro. if its only an entertainment device, I think it will fail. But if its truly as comutering platform for productivity, then I think this is gogin to be huge. Its all going to com down to the Developers. Making "flat apps" that run on the Video Pro will not be enough. Not since the introduction of the iPhone have we had a break out tenalagy that changes the way we work and interact with a device. I too and a huge Apple fan. I was ready to by at the announcement...but even for me it was too expensive. I was ready to spend $2500....but $1000 past my budget I just could not bring myself to pull the trigger. Yet I do own a $2000 Vero Areo...so I am a big fan of VR...but this was just to much for not knowing enough about this new product. I cant wait to see your videos. I know it would be a lot of work, but what about 5-10 minute video "here is how its going and what I have found out" series
I'm waiting on reviews... I just can't see a reason to purchase yet except curiosity and that's an expensive one. I could buy another very nice guitar for that price that would be close to heirloom quality. I hope it's great and definitely looking forward to your review!
You might be a “small” tech channel but I always learn something new that no one else is mentioning! Great video!
I paid $7000 for the first gen Apple laser printer. 300 dpi and 3 fonts. But I made $40k with it the first 3 months, simply by doing desktop publishing for people who were ok with the lesser quality in exchange for a much lower price for camera-ready documents for offset printing.
I’m not prepared right now to buy THIS, but I get the enthusiasm.
Right now, I’m less interested in using one myself than I am in possibly *developing* apps for it.
I do think one year from now, more of its advantages will emerge as first users start to recognize what it enables.
Apple has spent many decades designing things nobody imagined they wanted, but that ended up becoming deeply valuable, even if in ways different from Apple’s intent. The first Mac was Jobs idea of “a bicycle for your mind.” Nobody saw where that would lead, or imagined Macs would one day be used to, for example, edit both film and audio for feature films…
For me, skill acquisition possibilities for Vision Pro is enough for me to dust off my coding skills and add new ones to build apps.
I’m still giving it a while to see how early adopters fare, but tbh I agree with you that it WILL become more significant a jump in possibilities than the iPhone was.
Even while I have no idea what those will be 😁
I did too. Same one you got (1 TB), pickup on 2/2. My face scan was buggy and made me update my phone even though I was already at 17.2, but I was still able to get mine and get the first day pickup option. I am going to create music production content in the headset for my upcoming channel. Kudos on your purchase/pre-order!
LMFAO HOW?!! You can be the ENTIRE Apple ecosystem for that price!
@@diotitus the weak minded being can not see the future if it bit them in the ass. Crying babies will always miss their momma as she walks out the door to collect things of value for the baby. When people sailed the seas and many died for doing so, it was the damn naysayers who said I am telling you it is not wise. For the bold adventures that charted a course forward, they dragged kicking and screaming the fools that now enjoy the future they brought forth. Simple minds said it was a waste of time to build out electricity when you have a perfectly good candle without all the hassle. Why don’t you go live with those dead beings of the past and let those of us celebrating this day have our time in the sun? In fact, get off your ass and go invent something yourself. Something that puts a smile on someone’s face and stop trying to down stomp. You really want to see yourself as that kind of being? Like why are you here? Even on this planet? Give and do. Don’t steal good feelings from others. Are they harming your joy somehow for being happy about electricity? Or is it that you are married to the Candle Gods of our past?
You haven’t even tried this thing yet for a second. But you are sure as all get out that your mouth is more vital to the conversation yeah? Like it costs you a few seconds of typing to be sure we who bought it don’t understand what we signed up for. We know we could buy all of the other Apple gear for this price. You think we don’t know? Don’t be a fool. We are the ones wanting to pay an arm and a leg to get on that boat headed to the future. And your jeers and sneers are echos of idiots who stayed on the shore and still hold candles to light their way. Good night to you dear sir. You know not of what you speak.
P.S. sucks I had to edit such a fine response because I typed deer sir instead of dear sir lol. We all have our follies. Just be a good person vs being a Negative Nelly. The world really can use you being a good dude. Come on mate, your name has the word idiot in it of you just shift one letter.
@@diotitus base models though😂😂
Loved the reflection from a guy that just finds the excitement and enthusiasm out of a 1st generation product! I’m with you on that Greg, some people not as enthusiastic won’t get it and that is fine.
I got the 1tb option for launch day and being a 1st generation iPhone owner myself, I couldn't be more optimistically excited!
Queue the “why I’m returning the Vision Pro” video
Apple fans are something else... a whole ass video about just ordering a product...
I’m on your side mate! I do believe that vr/ar will be the next big thing in a couple of years. Look forward for the Vision SE, vision sport Nike edition or the vision air. Congrats for you purchase that’s a nice one!
you made the right decision to buy the Apple Vision Pro top end model. Your viewers value your opinion, so keep up the good work 🙂
This is actually big moment for Quest 3, because many will get to know about VR because of media coverage of Apple Vision Pro then they cant buy it cuz too expensive so they try cheaper ones like Quest 3 !
Yup, I have the Quest 3 which was only $500 and is much more awesome than this Vision Pro. 😁
@@dronyland I doubt it’s better than the Vision Pro, but they have much better price/performance for sure… clearly Apple will continue to be Apple and Quest will be what it is today, an Android device that targets another segment.
Keep doing what you're doing, Greg! Absolutely love the channel!
I think this is going to catch on a lot quicker than people think… ESPECIALLY as these things become more affordable .
I hope so. It'll replace everything existed like a lightning speed so don't have to stuck with a silly gimmick like folding and bending phones
Yes but first gen is still the first thing to become obsolete and the most expensive
I mean once it gets the mac apps and stuff made for it maybe if someone wants it for a laptop replacement... But yeah in all the recent stuff I've seen nothing this does that the Quest 3 does not... But to be fair it does them all with a ton more polish and clarity.
Technically the quest was super cheap and this is a big increase in price... but it IS apple...
It’s honestly very interesting and confusing to compare gen 1 iPhone to gen 1 Vision Pro because Apple is so much more established now via software/hardware. We have all the apps that are necessary so I don’t think they are necessarily starting at the same point. No doubt though that in terms of vr/spatial computing there are many years of advancement ahead of us. I ordered a 512gb model this morning and I am extremely excited going from Oculus Rift
The AVP looks outdated already when comparing it to the shape of a Bigscreen Beyond or an XReal. Certainly for a 'good' reason to get all the stuff running inside, but it's really too front-heavy and the battery should be in the back like with the Pico 4 as counterweight. I guess they already have a headstrap that can do it on schedule because like it is now, it get's annoying too soon to be used as a display-replacement.
@@Leynad778Bigscreen Beyond and Xreal is just the worse of the bunch. It go nothing worthwhile to compare to the avp
Right, I don’t get why people mention the iPhone 1 it’s a such a stupid way to compare it. Apple is already established. The only thing stopping this product from being amazing is the weight and how big it is. Version 3 will be much lighter
@@SerPapus Apple was already established before the iPhone thanks to iTunes and iPod.
If it were just 2,500 bucks yeah I would get it. I feel like this first version would quickly collect dust after the honey moon phase. I don’t have that kind of money to burn for such a short trip
Price is steep for sure. I did order mine but def wish it were cheaper. Highly doubt it collects dust as all the collective parts are superb and the reason most prior products like this collect dust is they were lacking the years of R&D and Billions poured into refining every detail. Its only drawback is that it isn’t even what Apple wants. They’d love for it to be thinner and lighter, but the tech just isn’t there yet. My thoughts at least.
@oblocals they can do already a lighter model, but that will be called just Vision (so probably just without the Pro), but developers use this as a developer tool recently, they can't give them a device, what is only allow them to test half of the features (but removing the outside display can reduce the weight and the cost greatly for a cheaper later model for example)
Greg - I have been into tech for my entire life as well. In fact, it’s been my passion and my career. I’ve worked in the tech industry as an electrical and computer engineer since 1977 and have taught upwards of 50 different courses in IT and engineering and business at college. I currently have my own IT business as well. That said, I couldn’t justify the $3500 price plus tax and corrective lenses even though I agree that is an important tech product. You mentioned that you would have bought the Vision Pro even if you weren’t an Apple tech UA-camr. Over the years I’ve owned many first gen Apple products (Mac, Newton, MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Watch, etc). I’ve even owned the first gen of the TRS-80 from Radio Shack, the IBM PC, the Pebble Smart Watch, the JVC camcorder and VCR, the HP and Sinclair and TI calculators, the BlackBerry, and the Palm Pilot (and Visor). If I had a plan to develop significant apps for the Vision Pro or had a decent size Apple tech UA-cam channel, I would have bought the device. I did go through the process to see how the purchasing process looked, including scanning my face and picking out a memory size and was able to get one in my cart at 8AM EST. I even watched a UA-cam channel that lived streamed at 8AM as people checked out or discussed the process, just to see how much interest there was. A lot of buyers were planning to flip them on eBay for $5K or more and the numbers available on eBay right now are pretty significant with 1250+ current listings! I’m looking forward seeing this product category mature and will definitely participate at some point. There is a lot of interest in products like this, as witnessed by the 2016 $2B acquisition of the Oculus Rift by Facebook / Meta and the heavy investments by Google and Samsung, etc. Thanks for buying the device. It looks like you picked the same memory size as Luke Miani and I’m hoping you’ll partner with him and others on delivering content. I look forward to the upcoming reviews! I can easily imagine a day when shopping on Amazon will be a lot more like being in a store and less like browsing through a list of words and photos. I look forward to a time when UA-cam videos are 3D and just like being there, but first UA-cam will have to get on board with the content!
@@TamasKiss-yk4st Agreed. It has been well speculated that by having the word Pro in this versions name means that there will be a striped back version just called Vision. Obviously any time you engineer a product this complicated there will be tradeoffs. There is no doubt they are already working on a less expensive version and lighter version. I know they wanted to set the bar with this version. I definitely understand the price with everything that went into it. M2 Chip, R1 Chip, 2 Crazy Micro Displays with 35 Million Pixels, All the Camera's, Mics and Sensors, Audio Tech that Rivals their best headphones, and the Billions of R&D in spending to refine this and develop the tech to make it a real product. Not to mention the software alone that is certainly an impressive feat. Anyone who thinks this is just Apple raking people over the coals by charging the Apple Tax certainly doesn't truly understand the tech that has gone into this device. I'd have been happy with all the tech and just remove the Glass and Aluminum that make it heavier. I understand their desire to have the outer screen so people feel connected to you while you're wearing it but personally could have done without that. I think even in a cheaper model, they will keep some kind outer screen that people can at least tell you are paying attention to them. We'll find out. Thanks for your reply...
Same here 1TB version. I am hoping I don't regret the purchase.
Please make as many videos on the AVP as possible. I will watch every single one lmao. I love this product. Always loved AR/VR since around 2018-2019
I remember having an iPhone when it couldn’t even send images to others via text, but my older flip phone could. I think this will be amazing to start, and can’t wait to see how it gets better. I’m hoping getting the 512GB model wasn’t a mistake on my part
I worked for Verizon when the first iPhone dropped and they didn’t offer it. I remember being told to not endorse and emphasize the fact it couldn’t text pics.
it is an interesting device im going to guess it will be too uncomfortable to use for extended periods of times. but its a like a 3d laptop in which you dont need a table and can essentially use it anywhere you want. 3d optics will be great for game development as well as VR content.
@@neovalkyr we will see. I ended up buying the 512g. Every other vr that I have used, I had the same thought, these are good but not quite there yet. I hope this is it. I am a little worried that once the novelty has worn off. It will sit and collect dust like my others. So for this price, this head set needs to figure out a way to stay relevant and be an actual tool instead of a gimmick.
I think a big hit with this in the future will be both spatial computing and experiences. Think about being able to watch a space shuttle launch, be live on a space walk, being at events live that you can’t attend like sporting events, concerts, the president speaking, etc. between all of this, spatial computing, photos and movie watching, it will be crazy. Sure you can do these things on other devises, but the clarity/fedelity , sound input method is what separates it along with it literally being a laptop! Last thing. I almost positive that hardcore gaming is coming to this. Apple just want to market it as otherwise for now!
I love your enthusiasm man :) can’t wait to see how you use this thing
I love your enthusiasm.
Ty
Thank you we enjoyed your vid, we ordered the 512GB sooo excited.
I ordered the same
I did too. I feel like that’s the sweet spot. Enough memory to have what I’m actually going to use on there.
Hi Greg. Thanks for being the guinea pig for us. I'm excited to see what you discover with this crazy new gadget. You rock!!!
1 TB Crew!
12:37 Excellent point on how it might actually cause people to become more interactive since their heads aren't facing down into a phone screen all the time.
I’ve been watching a ton of Apple Vision Pro videos (after ordering mine the other day) and this is my favorite one so far. You really captured how I’m feeling about this thing. Thanks Greg!
My biggest curiosity is going to be seeing how people report it affects their workflow. Time is money.
Welp making money back from views isn't it like a business investment rather than spending?
It depends, we'll see how much interest Vision Pro has, but most of my videos on it honestly haven't pulled in too many views.
Agree, see this an an investment for your UA-cam channel. 3.5 k for a first gen product is too much for me. As in the past I did the same for the folding Samsung phone. I got to wait until the apps catch up. Apple is investing in a future beyond phones
@@GregsGadgetsthere is a huge difference between a product actually existing bs talking about something that hasn’t launched.
@@GregsGadgetsit’s still a write off for taxes
@@austinmatson7986that’s not how it works. There is no such thing as “writing it off” and getting something free. Please go take a tax class before commenting publicly about taxes.
Like your point of view and excitement with this new category of tech.
650 grams is awesome! The Varjo XR-4 that I have is 1000 grams and doesn’t have a battery. The Pimax Crystal with battery is 1240 grams. 650 is nothing if you are into VR. This makes me even more excited from mine to arrive on the 2nd knowing it’s so lite!
Yeah its nothing! Pico 4 is 295g and bigscreen beyond is 127g. 650g is great! Truly revolutionary. Only Apple could do it! It's nothing if you're into VR for sure. Wait what do you mean the vision pro isn't built for VR and can't do PCVR? Huh??!!
@@michaelblue4619 You miss the point here…compared to other high end headsets it’s quite lite and people being all worried about the weight, it’s a non issue. Also who said anything about PCVR? I didn’t. I’m fully aware what it is and it is not. So take sarcastic attitude and step off bitch!
I bought this but I was annoyed with the different storage tiers as well as add ons for extra batteries, and wireless keyboard, wireless scroll pad and at the very least they could’ve included the carrying case but even that was extra and way more expensive then it needs to be. If this doesn’t knock my socks off I will be returning everything.
Is the OS more Mac or more IPad OS? This is why we let you tech channels do the product testing, we want to hear what you think once you’ve used it. Then we can determine if this fits our use case.
It’s more iPad OS. iPad apps with big rectangular boxes of iPad apps. The goal is probably to make it more Mac OS eventually. But with a first gen product they needed to start somewhere
They’ll sell almost half a million by Q3 so I do think this product will not only be very successful but also popular. I believe that by Gen 2, most people might be able to afford it. Especially those who already own an iPad or Mac as you can mirror the screen and actually get work done.
I have seen many reviews, yours i enjoyed the most, thank you for sharing your excitement
I’m very interested in getting the (hopefully cheaper) second generation Vision headset whenever it’s available. What interests me most is being able to record important life events in a highly immersive way that (allegedly) lets you relive the moment years into the future like you’re really there
I owned the 2nd gen Macintosh - Macintosh 512K, the Newton, and an 1st gen iPhone. When I first saw the Macintosh in '84, I realized I would never look back. It completely changed the game and it took the industry years to realize it. I recognized the same thing in the iPhone. (The Newton was just too early for the tech.) The Vision Pro is absolutely the next UI paradigm. The Mac was look and point with your hand. The iPhone was look and touch. The Vision Pro is look.
how much do you think it will be worth in 20 years new in the box???
Looking forward to early adapter reporting. I’ll wait… but excited to experience vicariously through you.
I am looking forward a lot of why I returned my Apple Vision Pro videos.
it is a major moment in technology & we own the starting line, this is our moment.
another cool vdo man
u dont understand how much i love ur content man😊
@17:59 Solid points --- He nails the reason I'm excited with this product CATEGORY launch.
16:26 The Vision Pro will never replace a Mac, just as the Ipad Pro never replaced the mac although it has the Hardware for it.
Apple wants needs you to buy all their Devices to make them work and do basic function.
I’m very worried my headset size is wrong, I notoriously have a hard time finding hats that fit, and it gave me a small band sizing, I contacted support and they said I can get a proper fit at no extra charge if it doesn’t fit, but I hope they’ll have those fits in stock so I don’t have to wait longer
I plan on buying one, but gotta save up the cash first!
Im a pretty big vr enthusiast and use my quest 3 for mostly gaming and movies and Im really looking forward to reviews and comparisons to other headsets of the vision pro, cuse things like passthrough and exspecially handtracking arealready pretty great on quest 3 and it will be interesting to see what apple made out of it.
Hoping that the vision pro will get features like quest link which is pretty use full or just accessoires like headstraps with extra batteries like the bobo vr m3.
Greg, I remember the day I got the 1st release of the Apple Newton. I still have all my Newtons. They still work! I remember my Apple 2e, my 1st laptop and all the other Apple products. I was an educator in Australia and we have a better attitude and financial support about education than than what happens in the USA. We got these products given to us by Apple OT got them at a nominal cost. It worked as Australian Primary Schools became centres for Apple computing. They did have to include or update the spelling dictionary grin. So i understand your excitment about the Vision Pro.
I believe that VR/AR will become more popular now that Apple has thrown their hat into the ring
Congrats, would be nice if you could compare it to other VR headsets.
I just bought one. Apple Vision Pro 256GB Solo knit band - S, Dual Loop Band - S. I am a little worried about the 'S'. My body and head size is not small at all. 6ft. 225lbs; head size quite proportional if not a bit large. hmmmmm. I hope it will fit. Delivery is Feb 5th.
FYI - I just called and apple was able to change all to M. That should work.
So that face scan to get the personalized headset what about all the hair? I wonder how that is taken into account
please test if you can use it with Final Cut Pro for an extended periode of time. And if you want to. What benefits and problems will wearing an Apple Vision Pro have when editing in Final Cut Pro have. Can you trust the colours when you do color grading. If so it might be a cheaper Pro XDR option.
Apple vision pro is good but I also recommend buy the z fold 6 this summer to test it
How much do you think the Vision Pro will be worth in 20 years for collectors if one bought one for saving unopened in its original box? Because it has a customized fit will Apple be selling the same faceplate 20 years from now? How much is an original iPhone unopened worth today?
By the way consumer VR is in it's like 5th generation pretty much just count each release form Rift DV1/2 to Quest 3 but it is the first gen True Mixed Reality Headset like the quest 3 kinda like how the N64 is the first gen 3D console despite being 5th gen game console. Still while much less polished the Quest 3 is a much more mature product atleast from what people have said recently about the Vision pro... So, it really boils done to at5 the current time... Do you want that polish that apple magic or do you want a do it all but phone device. Assuming you can afford them and you only want one.
There’s a lot of tech reviewers out there but your content feels truly genuine and that’s so rare no a days. Most channels feel like one big promotion,instead of honest enthusiasm for the topic or item being showcased. As a viewer,I want to thank you for creating a place here on UA-cam where tech feels exciting again! I think I’m equally stoked to watch your upcoming Vision Pro videos as you are making them,keep up the good work!
You are exactly speaking out my mind. These are my very thoughts for wanting to buy AVP. But I will buy it when it is available in India. It will certainly enhance productivity rather than just playing games.
To me, it’s a $3500 studio. It can function as an office, multiple monitors, internet device, and so much more.
So for example, instead of buying a fancy desk and chair, and other gizmos that come with building a small studio/office, you could get a Vision Pro and keep your workflow while removing clutter
I absolutely agree with your view on it!
And I think that the controls are revolutionary - you don't have your hands all around to control it; it's discrete and just the right way to go. The eyesight may also look funny, but it's also a really smart way to fix one of the big problems with headsets.
I don't have the money to get one, but I can't wait to try it in an apple store once it gets to Europe :)
GREG…. I NEEEED TO YOU TO GET ONE.
I would if I COULD. I’m an Apple fanboy since the early box Macintosh desktops. So I’ll be experiencing Vision Pro vicariously through YOU, my Apple Guy.
Do you reckon the full M2 chip is overkill for Apple Arcade?😂
Thanks Greg
Are u gonna keep it or return it to Apple for a refund?
Keep it
Man I nearly bought it but 4800 overall was too much. I earmarked 3700 but after upping the memory, adding AppleCare, a case and a cover it ballooned. I would have been good with it still but they kept so much quiet to include a video of someone using it I can’t wait.
I gotta be honest...if I had the money for it, or if it made sense to make huge (for me) monthly payments on one...I'd absolutely pick one up for pre-order.
As is, I'm waiting with a lot of interest in how things unfold within the next year or 2. It's not there for me yet...it doesn't seem like it does enough yet for me...but I really do think the future for this thing is bright.
Everyone likes to think that VR headsets isolate people, and in a physical sense they can. But many of the more and most popular vr games had been social games. They also allow for more realistic socializing due to having a 3D entity that can move.
A zoom meeting is just the flag 2D image of a face, but VR offers a semi-physical space to meet someone and body language and movement.
But now with the Vision Pro letting you see through it, you can start getting the benefits of both. Not fully isolating you physically and also providing wayyy more social interaction inside the digital space compared to a phone or computer. Plus, it gives more validity and another path of progress to VR as a whole. I hope it ends up well, and I hope you can get out of it what you desire!
They isolate people from friends and family IN REAL LIFE. Games also isolate people, but many of the games that cause people to hole up in their rooms are the MMORPGs.
I think they’re going to put it into the iPhone eventually or Mac OS if it doesn’t take off
I dont think that iwatch counts as a "major" product as it is more of a "companion" product. I think ivision is the first major after ipad (2010)
I really want to purchase this... still need a strong reason. This def is the first real usable headset for work apps. all the previous headsets have been "for me" a put it in the shelf and never touch it. I do feel if I buy this, it will be more useful than games. I absolutely dig the productivity setup with this and content consumption at high resolution, which has been what I wanted. Very worried about it being a gen 1 product for ~4000$. and if apple updates it in a year or two, lowers the price and gives a strong option, it would be painful lol. Still pondering and fighting with my "buy it" part of the brain for sure
You're our guinea pig, Greg!
I am honored.
You raise some very valid points.
I really like it but the only issue is having something around my head, reminds me of something I saw in a sci-fi film. If it was possible to have it in spectacle format it will be best.
I'm with you on the first gen experience...and that being an exciting thing. Definitely a dev/business expense, for me, as I did order it this morning and getting it 2/2.
Yes, people still care about iPads. They are just so long lasting we don’t replace them often.
So the vision pro is 6 Mega Pixels per camera and and the Quest 3 is 4 Mega Pixels per camera so the Quest 3 is not that far off as I thought the cameras was going to be way more Mega Pixels than the Quest 3 cameras
That all don't matter. It is the response time on the pass through view that matters. And they say it's fast. Most likely because it has it's own separate CPU the R1 for it.
I see the use case for professional training in various specialties
I'm excited for it and have been on the fence about it. I think I'm going to wait until its out and about. The most exciting thing to me is that it connects to hardware via bluetooth and can connect to a mac directly. The potential for work environments is huge. It's definitely a new computing experience and i'm excited to see where it goes.
Brought it, test it , review it, publish it to UA-cam, then return it for free. What a clever idea!
Just bought 1TB version. Here's what I want to see in Vision Pro 2:
- Cellular service to allow me to discard my phone;
- Thumb drive port for uploading or downloading photos or video;
- Retina display (60+/- pixels per degree of viewing arc); M3 chip;
- 4K stereo video recording;
- 4K AirPlay screen mirroring;
- Apple Pencil (or wand?) support for drawing apps;
- Runs MacBook apps natively.
- Space sharing, to permit multiple people in the same room to see and interact with virtual objects for collaboration (a la Tony Stark);
- 50 grams lighter
My guess is Apple won't include cellular service in the AVP since they want you to buy an iPhone instead, so at least for the near futuree they might have the AVP link via BlueTooth to your iPhone, as is currently done with the Apple Watch. For all I know, the AVP might do this right out of the box now, but I haven't seen anything abou this.
Apple might put a USB-C port on a future AVP for uploading/downloading files, but as with the iPhone and Watch, I suspect Apple will rely for now on a wireless connection, using AirDrop.
Your other suggestions are more likely to see implementation in the fairly near future, as in the next to to three years (maybe sooner for some of them!).
@@JohnMSawyer This makes me wonder why Apple put Cellular into iPad. Wouldn't they refuse to do that for the same reason? I'm scratching my head over this.
@@rkarnes6304 It's possible Apple included cellular circuitry in the iPad since they were hoping this would expand their customer base to people who wanted a tablet and also wanted a cellular connection, but who didn't want to buy an iPhone to get it.
so hyped for this
I feel that the Vision Pro will replace my MacBook Pro MAX and 2 34 inch monitors. It will be a portable version where I can have even more than 3 monitors and be in any room of the house, and on trains, planes, and aulomobiles (passenger) as well. I also feel that by having more windows, I'll be more productive vs. moving and resizing windows too frequently. Then there is all the entertainment potential which, for me, is icing on the cake.
it lowkey makes me want to start coding, perfect time with a.i. assisted coding.
Can't agree more to what you jsaid.. Its opening so many possibilities on how we interact with our devices and probably going to do in the next 20-30 years.. You made a subscriber!
I really wanna see on what software you can edit a video actually on the vision Pro. Ipads are still so Bad for real Work and the Data management is going to be a big hassle with the over simplified UI. With the Vision Pro it will be even worse. It will end up as incredible expensive VR Headset for your Mac. And then you dont need a M2 in this and it will be so unconfortable with the weight and the 2 > Hours of Batterylife.
Pleas keep your updates on this product! Thanks
The first iPhone had so many issues. Jailbreaking it was loads of fun. And let's not forget that at the keynote presentation. They kept swapping out the iPhone that Steve Jobs was working with due to known bugs that were still rampant
13:15 I mean we have answeres to all those questions thanks to consumjer VR being 5 gen tech and the quest 3 being a few mont6hs old... Which it all depends on you and what you are willing to do with the tech and your llfe. As for the socal thing MR is really nice for that as you can double tap on your quest 3 then look around. And it was the first thing I did with my headset was play grab the menu bar with my grandparents their first XR experience. Even though I was the one with the headset and they just looked as my phone to grab the bar using the hand tracking on the headset and the ophone to see it... And working and commsming media also works great though I prefer flat for that a home. Though I might on the go over my phone and lap top be the Quest 3 is less combersum that a lap top and more easy for me to use then a phone
Great video Greg
The OG HomePod changed the way I listen to music and its audio tech has leaked down in audio in many Apple devices.
I'm not a UA-camr and I wanted to get one but because they are not offering support outside of the US I'll have to wait til it's available in Canada. I guess they'll probably have a lot of kinks worked out by then and maybe even have a 2nd or 3rd gen by then. Unless its like the apple credit card that we still can't get after all this time.
The biggest Luxury Gimmick since the Ipad.
Greg, Thanks , as always , for the video. While I sooooo often have a kink in launch day orders (I’ve been Mac consultant since 1984), my order went PERFECTLY well. I’m super shocked. The AopleCare price made me VERBALLY “ouch!” But I bit the bullet in that and 1tb. So 5 friigin $K. That said, not as dumb as my December 2019 $12k purchase of MacPro 6 months before Apple Silicon. I MAY be dumb to do this. But, since 1984, it is my obsession and business. But I have no idea how useful this will be. And I surely will have to spend ANOTHER $5k in 3 years when they get this right. But, now I am SWEATING bullets waiting for the god named ZEISS to approve my subscription. I won’t rest until I know they don’t cancel my order from my aged eyes 👀. Thanks again for video.

I got the 512GB model and reading glasses insert. What I noticed in the shipping is that they were separate. So even if your corrective eye insert subscription is not accepted, you should still get your Vision Pro order. And be able to address the eye thing with an Apple Store in the worst case scenario. Hopefully. Enjoy your device. I am so looking forward to mine. Feel like a kid again when you use to believe in something magical. Been a while since I felt this excited.
@@oblocals ZEISS just confirmed my prescription. So, I’m locked and loaded for Feb 2. And, yes, like you , I am super stoked. Only 128k mac in 1984 had me excited. And iPhone 1. That said, I’m fully aware, both of those products SUCKED until the 3rd generation. But never regretted being on the ground floor of the tech world entering a new dimension. I’m already saving for Vision Pro 3rd generation in 3-4 years. So I have that to look forward to. In the interim I hope to be able to play hundreds of hours of Insta360 footage in 360 with this. And lots of special videos. And I no longer have to spend the $2k I was going to spend on an lg 40” ultra wide monitor. We will be able to say we will ALWAYS remember Feb 2, 2024!

9:13 yeah it's very mid for a VR headset but lightish for a milltary helmet which those can get to 2 kilograms or 4 pounds.
We have the same head/band sizes. Twinnning.
If I walk by and pull the plug what happens ? Of if you need to replace with you back up battery does it power down ?
highly recommend not to walk when you are connected to a power supply :) its similar to asking - what would happen if I dropped it on a rock... I think It will shut off - abruptly for sure since it does not have any built in power source to shutdown gracefully
The dropping of any beloved device is a terrible day. But if you supposed to be immersed in whatever you’re doing on the device and then your battery dies or you need to turn it off to replace a battery that seems like a terrible user experience
I’ve seen a lot of people vouching for the external battery- personally think this is backwards
Did you pay the additional $499 for AppleCare?
Of course he did!
He probably bought the $199 case too.
Spigen has a great case for it for $89
Is there like a "family mode" for when more than one person starts watching a movie? For example, 2 users each with their own Apple vision wanting to watch the same movie together?
That sounds like bigscreen, where you can make a lobby and watch stuff together, even if you're on the other side of the earth.
16:58 Hold up how many companies have anoced they will be using Apple pro over Hololens and the high end VR headsets? Like none right?
I am very excited to see where The Apple Vision Pro goes and how developers are going to use it. I think the best position for this product is between an iPad and a MacBook pro. if its only an entertainment device, I think it will fail. But if its truly as comutering platform for productivity, then I think this is gogin to be huge. Its all going to com down to the Developers. Making "flat apps" that run on the Video Pro will not be enough. Not since the introduction of the iPhone have we had a break out tenalagy that changes the way we work and interact with a device. I too and a huge Apple fan. I was ready to by at the announcement...but even for me it was too expensive. I was ready to spend $2500....but $1000 past my budget I just could not bring myself to pull the trigger. Yet I do own a $2000 Vero Areo...so I am a big fan of VR...but this was just to much for not knowing enough about this new product.
I cant wait to see your videos. I know it would be a lot of work, but what about 5-10 minute video "here is how its going and what I have found out" series
I'm waiting on reviews... I just can't see a reason to purchase yet except curiosity and that's an expensive one. I could buy another very nice guitar for that price that would be close to heirloom quality. I hope it's great and definitely looking forward to your review!
Thanks!
Thank you, you didn't need to donate 😭🙏
@@GregsGadgets I know - just wanted to buy you a cup of coffee - or these days a half a cup! Take care! :)
