Absolutely true.

It is NOT the best place to do office work, and that will remain true until these headsets weigh about 150 grams. For gaming, comfort doesn't matter that much. For office work? Pff, it's literally all that matters. Bad ergonomics means you're going to screw up your body pretty quick. This is a shortcut to a quasimodo-style posture.

yeah, unlike the meta quest it doesn't have an existing gaming and apps ecosystem, so it's just using non-VR apps available on any apple devices, they blocked 3D porn on it (which lets be honest, is one of the main use cases of VR headsets at the moment), and the one thing it could be good for, industrial augment reality, it wasn't marketed for. It has a resolution barely lower than some of the crazy high-end industrial AR headsets, at a fraction of the price, but instead they marketed it as entertainment, despite having non of the functionalities of gaming VR headsets.

The annoying thing is that VR and AR could 100% be used for getting actual work done.... but they just focus on the gimmicky aspects of it and expect independent developers to come up with the real useful stuff. Meta finally kinda realized this issue and started looking into doing real computing with Quest 2 and 3 but their programs STILL pale in comparison to 3rd party ones. I personally dream daily of being able to kick back on a couch with a headset on, a keyboard in my lap and maybe a mouse if the hand tracking isn't good enough and getting real work done but.. nope. I haven't seen a single good implementation yet. Granted, I haven't been able to test myself but I've researched. Immersed and Vspatial get the closet to being a good environment though.
@@ledocteur7701 As Quest 2 user, I can conform that I rarely use it, but when I use It's for porn. Still, movies and games are so immersive. But it needs more and better quality of it. In movies, I can not focus on image, resolution is low, Fov is small, it's uncomfortable. A lot of trades of.
As somebody who wrote VR applications for Industry (using wired Oculus devices), I'm not surprised. VR is great for interactive games and short-term simulations and is an excellent training platform in complex environments. The fundamental problem with VR is how tiring the device is to your eyes. When I work at my computer, I need to look away from the screens at least once every few minutes, but in goggles, I cannot. The maximum time I could spend in the goggles was about 30 minutes. While I'm sure some people can handle the goggles for hours, we found that the average user could handle about 20-30 minutes. The other problem with them was making the applications perform well in a mobile headset (unconnected) was actually challenging. It was really easy to overload the scenes with graphics that were too complex for mobile. What ultimately killed our projects is that our simulations required human interactions, and the cost to produce realistic movements (not animations) was cost prohibitive.
The thing with this is that the eye strain from VR is entirely artificial, the lenses mean you can arbitrarily set the focus distance and for some reason a lot of Oculus devices were set for 1.2m (which is to say, as far as focus is concerned, they acted like a screen only 1.2m from your face)
You guys made out of sugar or something? -_- i spend more than 2-3 hour or sometime more in VR daily basis, no problem. Not even counting 1000 or more players on vrchat doing the same. And not only on vrchat, other vr games too. Just because you are a weakling its does not means everyone is.
@@Venompapa There's probably an inverse correlation between "hours spent in VRChat" and "ability to afford a Vision Pro", and I say that as someone who has spent hours in VR on multiple occasions
@@GeneralKenobi69420 You'll actually get paid less to work the same job in Canada as in the US, and that's why companies outsource those jobs to other countries. So not only are they making less, but being charged more on top of that.
Look at exchange rates. $1 CAD is about $0.71 USD. That makes $5K CAD roughly $3565.70 USD. The Vision Pro is slightly more expensive in Canada but within margin of price rounding and exchange rates compared to USD.
They released it without SteamVR support and without controllers, what did they expect? Their HMD didn't support the most basic things every VR HMD supports
@@ivonakis If anything, they nailed it as far as hardware goes, it has graphical fidelity close to crazy high-end industrial AR headsets, at a comparatively reasonable price, but they marketed it for the wrong use cases, and then massively under-delivered functionality wise, making it into an overly expensive 3D IMac.
@@ledocteur7701Yeah when I tried it, it seemed really polished and high quality, (ignore the battery life,) but I wouldn't be able to find a use for it when they don't have the same software that's on a normal headset
Not a traditional VR headset. No need for steam vr and controllers as a primary focus. It’s made for different use cases. Not everything has to be about gaming…
@@ledocteur7701use cases are rather perfect for it actually. Meta is going in that direction now too, everyone is. The era of HMDs for gaming and 3D visualisers only is ended, we’re entering spatial and bringing all traditional use cases from screens to HMDs, and that’s a good thing for the VR market as it brings daily use cases to headsets which people wouldn’t have cared for unless into VR gaming. I don’t understand how people miss this as a long term strategy, it’s rather silly to ignore it…
pass through got soooo much better. When the Apple vision pro came out that was the one notable thing that was much better. With my Quest 3 now pass through is good enough that I can do just about anything with it on. I’ve put it on and watched UA-cam while doing dishes.
Absolutely. I wish Apple made VR cool in the eyes of the average joe, but at the very least it did push Meta to make some new stuff. Net benefit for Quest users. Gotta look at the positives I guess.
I can remember watching one of Steve Jobs interviews where in he stated that Apple would never be in the business of shipping junk. Looks like under uncle Tim’s tutelage. Apple is now shipping junk.
I don't think the Vision Pro is junk. On the other hand I've never tried it because I'm not going to pay 3k for a device that I most likely will use during the first few weeks and then never again.
Yeah I've never been a huge apple fan but with steve it always felt like they were onto something (and they very much were). Tim doesn't even feel like he's taking any part in product development, he's just a ceo.
Anyone who knows anything about VR knows Meta Quest 3 is the way to go (starting at $299). Also, Meta doesn't block porn like some weird religious cult.
As an obsolete tech collector, I can’t wait for these to get cheap on ebay so I can add one to my collection. Newton, Pippin, G4 cube, trashcan Mac, lots of super unique tech that really didn’t get off the ground
Of course it's not a different colour! If you don't check the $200 option for that, you don't get that feature. Sheesh, I don't see what's so difficult about this.
Before, people were mad at me when I said something like this would happen. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s not rocket science-you just have to use your brain to think, not fanboyism.
Honestly with the way apple currently is, I'm surprised it's not a bankrupt company. The products are flat out worse in most aspects than options available in the market, how are these guys even in business?
@@Warlord_Megatron I remember years back, you could walk into an apple store and the devices were genuinely cool to mess around with. It actually seemed like they were onto something cool and new. All you see now is different metal slabs, some with colors. All of them with huge upgrade costs for memory and storage. At least they make laptops that have good processors now though, that is one thing that has improved.
I thought the iPhone was going to flop. Too expensive, one carrier only, no SDK, everything was so limited. So now I assume any time Apple releases something dumb that it will be a big hit.
Americans/Canadians/Australians: "I'm so poor, I make 90k a year and only ordered UberEats 6 times this month" Western European me living on 3 figures a month: "What's UberEats?"
Price is too high, battery life too low, device weighs too much, it is not comfortable to wear and there is no software around to use it... Yeah, why did it fail? How could that happen?
It's like Tim looked at Google Glass and said "Hold my beer. We can do better." He just got the end goal wrong in that it beat it on how long it lasted not by being better.
Well, they didn't announce a second one... meaning a cheaper version without all the cameras and features, with future apps development going to be for the cheaper next iteration... still means it's mostly a face mask going forward
@@Macheako The whole technology tree from VR to AR and between doesn't reward early adopters although the ones that come latter will thank you all for your sacrifice.
A friend of mine got one second hand (clue 1). I said while I had no intention of getting one, an hour mucking about on his would be cool. Then he told me about all the “guest user” faff you had to go though, and I was like “nah, I’m not that bothered” (clue 2)
You can use it as a PCVR headset. The main issue is the lack of controllers and the fact that using it on PC is less than optimal. Latency and such just blows.
Probably 6 billion don’t even know the Vision Pro exists and are far more interested in working hard to get fresh water or the next meal rather than watching peurile videos and believing everything they say.
@NeilLavitt they set the moral and ethical stage of how so many pay for the privilege. If it was an individual narcissist doing it to them it's not cool though.
Video games give us a clue what that future might be, but not only the tech we wear on our face needs to improve, but the tech in the larger world needs to too.
Who wants to wear that uncomfortable and goofy AF thing on their face? Not to mention the short battery life and the awkward cable to the battery/processor. If Apple's share price wasn't so high, Tim Cook's leadership would actually be brought into question over this failure.
When I demoed one 6 months ago I was more interested in the surround sound capabilities. Sound was not great and I knew that would kill it for me personally. I was imagining being at a virtual concert.
@brodriguez11000 because the tech isn't there yet, we're still a dacade away from making good batteries and good displays small enough as well as everything being affordable
The problem is although there a lot of stupid people in the world who think the future is to live in 4K head mufflers, fortunately only 1% of them can afford Apple Maths.
Since Occulus had been around since 2015/2016, I finally bought into Quest 3 last Christmas, expecting there to be tons of useful apps and education/STEM purposes for my daughter...but I should have done some more research. It's still just a glorified method of playing games only slightly better than cell-phone mobile game quality. That said, I can tell that Meta is subsidizing the cost of the device, so you are getting quite a bit of hardware at cost. I imagine the Vision Pro is just a M2 processor based laptop that pulls off seamless AR integration with the Apple ecosystem...and not much else for the moment. And some games. And you the customer are funding it rather than Apple.
There is no indication that it has been “ended.” It’s still on the Apple Store and no such news or announcements have been made. People are speculating that they have reduced production which is what you would expect prior to them introducing the next version. Additionally, they just announced additional countries in which the Vision Pro is now sold and supported. I realize that this is a humor channel satirizing Apple, but you should still base your satire on some actual facts. The Vision product isn’t going anywhere m. If anything m, it will be expanded to include lower priced versions. The first version is the Pro version, which is unusual, but that means a “regular” version is yet to come at lower prices and eventually an SE version. This will happen as new, faster processors roll out. They needed the fastest, most expensive processor at the time of launch, the M2, for it to work at all, that was expensive, so they made it a n expensive “Pro” version first. Now, the M4 is the current processor with the M5 coming in 2025, so the older processors, including the M2, become cheaper and so will the Vision equipped with M2 processors while the new Pro versions will have M4 or M5 processors. In future years, the Vision with M2 processors become the low priced Vision SE while the Vision will have the M4 or M5 processors and the future Vision Pro will have M6 processors at the $3,500 price point. And so on, year after year.
I used the Vision Pro a few weeks ago in an Apple Store. I'm convinced that watching sports broadcasts tailored for Vision Pro is the killer app -- it was like nothing I'd ever seen -- better than being in the stadium live.
I got a plastic adaptor that my Samsung S8 fitted into that turned it into a makeshift VR headset and was able to watch the 2018 World Cup so if the sport app is something you feel is worth the price. Then clearly you have to much money and not enough sense.
@@Blapy123that’s the problem it was bad for productivity, countless people have said long term. Was clunky and sluggish. And yes price was a big factor.
@@Blapy123 it wasn't made for anything and that is the problem. Not for games. Not for standalone office. Not for extending mac setup with multiple virtual displays. Basically a $3k paperweight in comparison to 4 year old VR headset with $250 price tag.
Vr is taking off with more and more headsets being sold. More than half of all headsets were sold in the past 3 years, and it's finally big enough for big games like metro and behomoth to be made without funding from the headset manufacturer. It's just that it's not apple headsets. The quest 3 , 3s are doing great, and the psvr2 is still alive ig
LoL, I knew this would bring out the "VR isn't dead bla bla bla" people. VR will always be a novelty and will never be mainstream. You may find it fun, but even the biggest supporters can only spend a few hours using it daily. But you can sit in front of a low-cost laptop for hours and get work done; I'm not saying you should, but you can. Try VR for work with your normal parents 8 hours a day, they can't.
This video is funny, but inaccurate as far as being actual news. Apple is finishing production of the Vision Pro because they're releasing the Vision Pro 2 next year which will upgrade it to the M5 processor. Finishing production of the old model because they're moving on to producing the new model is not actually news, but media is turning this into clickbait.

The annoying thing is that VR and AR could 100% be used for getting actual work done.... but they just focus on the gimmicky aspects of it and expect independent developers to come up with the real useful stuff.
Meta finally kinda realized this issue and started looking into doing real computing with Quest 2 and 3 but their programs STILL pale in comparison to 3rd party ones.
I personally dream daily of being able to kick back on a couch with a headset on, a keyboard in my lap and maybe a mouse if the hand tracking isn't good enough and getting real work done but.. nope. I haven't seen a single good implementation yet. Granted, I haven't been able to test myself but I've researched.
Immersed and Vspatial get the closet to being a good environment though.

@@AzureRT456 29 sounds hard to calculate, let's just do 30 instead
As somebody who wrote VR applications for Industry (using wired Oculus devices), I'm not surprised. VR is great for interactive games and short-term simulations and is an excellent training platform in complex environments. The fundamental problem with VR is how tiring the device is to your eyes. When I work at my computer, I need to look away from the screens at least once every few minutes, but in goggles, I cannot. The maximum time I could spend in the goggles was about 30 minutes. While I'm sure some people can handle the goggles for hours, we found that the average user could handle about 20-30 minutes. The other problem with them was making the applications perform well in a mobile headset (unconnected) was actually challenging. It was really easy to overload the scenes with graphics that were too complex for mobile. What ultimately killed our projects is that our simulations required human interactions, and the cost to produce realistic movements (not animations) was cost prohibitive.
The thing with this is that the eye strain from VR is entirely artificial, the lenses mean you can arbitrarily set the focus distance and for some reason a lot of Oculus devices were set for 1.2m (which is to say, as far as focus is concerned, they acted like a screen only 1.2m from your face)
It’s not canceled. He’s trolling. I just checked EVERYWHERE
You guys made out of sugar or something? -_- i spend more than 2-3 hour or sometime more in VR daily basis, no problem. Not even counting 1000 or more players on vrchat doing the same. And not only on vrchat, other vr games too. Just because you are a weakling its does not means everyone is.

Ripping people off has been part of apple philosophy
In Canada, it started at $5,000. I love Apple stuff, but no, just no.
I remember when I got my Power Mac for 3000 cdn, worth it for the machine it was. 10 000$+ for the current Mac Pro? Hell naw.
USA and Canada got different dollar. USD and CAD. That's why it looks more expensive in Canada. You have to look at the exchange rates :)
Bro has never heard of exchange rates 💀
@@GeneralKenobi69420 You'll actually get paid less to work the same job in Canada as in the US, and that's why companies outsource those jobs to other countries.
So not only are they making less, but being charged more on top of that.
Look at exchange rates. $1 CAD is about $0.71 USD. That makes $5K CAD roughly $3565.70 USD. The Vision Pro is slightly more expensive in Canada but within margin of price rounding and exchange rates compared to USD.
Most normal thing that apple doing recently
I love your punches: "Despite having 12 cameras Apple Vision Pro did not cure Tim's shortsightedness" 🤣🤣
They released it without SteamVR support and without controllers, what did they expect? Their HMD didn't support the most basic things every VR HMD supports
Yeah, the price was not THE issue. If it could do what other VR headsets could do but better, then you have a viable product.
@@ivonakis If anything, they nailed it as far as hardware goes, it has graphical fidelity close to crazy high-end industrial AR headsets, at a comparatively reasonable price, but they marketed it for the wrong use cases, and then massively under-delivered functionality wise, making it into an overly expensive 3D IMac.
@@ledocteur7701Yeah when I tried it, it seemed really polished and high quality, (ignore the battery life,) but I wouldn't be able to find a use for it when they don't have the same software that's on a normal headset
Not a traditional VR headset. No need for steam vr and controllers as a primary focus. It’s made for different use cases. Not everything has to be about gaming…
@@ledocteur7701use cases are rather perfect for it actually. Meta is going in that direction now too, everyone is. The era of HMDs for gaming and 3D visualisers only is ended, we’re entering spatial and bringing all traditional use cases from screens to HMDs, and that’s a good thing for the VR market as it brings daily use cases to headsets which people wouldn’t have cared for unless into VR gaming. I don’t understand how people miss this as a long term strategy, it’s rather silly to ignore it…
The good thing that came out of this: is thet Meta got pushed into adding better features, the some of the vison pro things.
totally agree
Meta got to observe VisionOS, but they've been doing a lot of things better since the beginning
pass through got soooo much better. When the Apple vision pro came out that was the one notable thing that was much better. With my Quest 3 now pass through is good enough that I can do just about anything with it on. I’ve put it on and watched UA-cam while doing dishes.
Absolutely. I wish Apple made VR cool in the eyes of the average joe, but at the very least it did push Meta to make some new stuff. Net benefit for Quest users. Gotta look at the positives I guess.
I can remember watching one of Steve Jobs interviews where in he stated that Apple would never be in the business of shipping junk. Looks like under uncle Tim’s tutelage. Apple is now shipping junk.
I don't think the Vision Pro is junk. On the other hand I've never tried it because I'm not going to pay 3k for a device that I most likely will use during the first few weeks and then never again.
Yeah I've never been a huge apple fan but with steve it always felt like they were onto something (and they very much were). Tim doesn't even feel like he's taking any part in product development, he's just a ceo.

Official spin is they have a huge inventory, enough for until mass-market version is released. They keep updating the OS though.
2:10 , not even a different colour 😂😂
Of course it's not a different colour! If you don't check the $200 option for that, you don't get that feature.
Sheesh, I don't see what's so difficult about this.
Before, people were mad at me when I said something like this would happen. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s not rocket science-you just have to use your brain to think, not fanboyism.
Honestly with the way apple currently is, I'm surprised it's not a bankrupt company. The products are flat out worse in most aspects than options available in the market, how are these guys even in business?
@@Warlord_Megatron Fanboyism, it is incredible how just that handles Apple
@@Warlord_Megatron I remember years back, you could walk into an apple store and the devices were genuinely cool to mess around with. It actually seemed like they were onto something cool and new. All you see now is different metal slabs, some with colors. All of them with huge upgrade costs for memory and storage. At least they make laptops that have good processors now though, that is one thing that has improved.
I thought the iPhone was going to flop. Too expensive, one carrier only, no SDK, everything was so limited. So now I assume any time Apple releases something dumb that it will be a big hit.
This is $6000 dollars in Australia, so without tax and working full time hours with casual loading I can afford to buy this after a month!

Agreed. Once the visionary departs...it’s all but over. Applies to most corporations.

Price is too high, battery life too low, device weighs too much, it is not comfortable to wear and there is no software around to use it...

Also Apple blocked the porn
@@Wanderer2035 Oh wow, didn't know that. That has to be the courage, we know from Apple. Selling VR glasses without porn or fun games.
12 cameras + lidar sensor + a few other things, each for $200.
It's like Tim looked at Google Glass and said "Hold my beer. We can do better."
He just got the end goal wrong in that it beat it on how long it lasted not by being better.
They didn’t cancel the product, they just stopped production for this model.
Well, they didn't announce a second one... meaning a cheaper version without all the cameras and features, with future apps development going to be for the cheaper next iteration... still means it's mostly a face mask going forward
Yeah, and apparently they also didn't respond to the cancellation - this whole video is just clickbait in the end.

Just wait in 5 years when collectors start charging for ten times the original price.
I heard they are giving away the rest of the Apple Vision Pros for free if you order a Krabby Patty at the Chum Bucket
The fact, that you can't even use it as a pcvr headset is just mindblowing.
You can use it as a PCVR headset. The main issue is the lack of controllers and the fact that using it on PC is less than optimal. Latency and such just blows.
You forgot Airpods are also a huge success
Spot on satire!!! Particularly about Tim. Love it.

Congrats on 400k sub.
vr/ar needs to be better than a computer/phone in most aspects before it succeeds. its still seen as a gimmick rather than the future.
Video games give us a clue what that future might be, but not only the tech we wear on our face needs to improve, but the tech in the larger world needs to too.
This channel is gold. Loved you Sam!
Who wants to wear that uncomfortable and goofy AF thing on their face? Not to mention the short battery life and the awkward cable to the battery/processor.
If Apple's share price wasn't so high, Tim Cook's leadership would actually be brought into question over this failure.
The new Minis seem to be doing well to rave reviews.
When I demoed one 6 months ago I was more interested in the surround sound capabilities. Sound was not great and I knew that would kill it for me personally. I was imagining being at a virtual concert.
The future of vr is wearable glasses. People arent gonna be walking around with a heavy metal pair of goggles all day to replace their computures.
That would be AR with a side order of VR. Just note Magic Leap didn't do too well either.
@brodriguez11000 because the tech isn't there yet, we're still a dacade away from making good batteries and good displays small enough as well as everything being affordable
Well written and edited! Thanks for the video.
The problem is although there a lot of stupid people in the world who think the future is to live in 4K head mufflers, fortunately only 1% of them can afford Apple Maths.
Knowing Sam Tucker never bought an AVP definitely increases my respect for him. 👏
Since Occulus had been around since 2015/2016, I finally bought into Quest 3 last Christmas, expecting there to be tons of useful apps and education/STEM purposes for my daughter...but I should have done some more research. It's still just a glorified method of playing games only slightly better than cell-phone mobile game quality. That said, I can tell that Meta is subsidizing the cost of the device, so you are getting quite a bit of hardware at cost.
I imagine the Vision Pro is just a M2 processor based laptop that pulls off seamless AR integration with the Apple ecosystem...and not much else for the moment. And some games. And you the customer are funding it rather than Apple.

There is no indication that it has been “ended.” It’s still on the Apple Store and no such news or announcements have been made.
People are speculating that they have reduced production which is what you would expect prior to them introducing the next version. Additionally, they just announced additional countries in which the Vision Pro is now sold and supported.
I realize that this is a humor channel satirizing Apple, but you should still base your satire on some actual facts.
The Vision product isn’t going anywhere m. If anything m, it will be expanded to include lower priced versions.
The first version is the Pro version, which is unusual, but that means a “regular” version is yet to come at lower prices and eventually an SE version.
This will happen as new, faster processors roll out. They needed the fastest, most expensive processor at the time of launch, the M2, for it to work at all, that was expensive, so they made it a n expensive “Pro” version first.
Now, the M4 is the current processor with the M5 coming in 2025, so the older processors, including the M2, become cheaper and so will the Vision equipped with M2 processors while the new Pro versions will have M4 or M5 processors.
In future years, the Vision with M2 processors become the low priced Vision SE while the Vision will have the M4 or M5 processors and the future Vision Pro will have M6 processors at the $3,500 price point.
And so on, year after year.
I knew from day one! Having the Quest 2 for $150 that did the same or even better things.
I used the Vision Pro a few weeks ago in an Apple Store. I'm convinced that watching sports broadcasts tailored for Vision Pro is the killer app -- it was like nothing I'd ever seen -- better than being in the stadium live.
I got a plastic adaptor that my Samsung S8 fitted into that turned it into a makeshift VR headset and was able to watch the 2018 World Cup so if the sport app is something you feel is worth the price.
Then clearly you have to much money and not enough sense.

Hi loving the videos
VR failed again? I'm SHOCKED! If only people had Vision for 3D TVs and Touch Screen Keyboards, VR could take off...NOT.
Vr is taking off with more and more headsets being sold. More than half of all headsets were sold in the past 3 years, and it's finally big enough for big games like metro and behomoth to be made without funding from the headset manufacturer. It's just that it's not apple headsets.
The quest 3 , 3s are doing great, and the psvr2 is still alive ig
VR hasn't failed. Apple failed at its attempt at VR.
LoL, I knew this would bring out the "VR isn't dead bla bla bla" people. VR will always be a novelty and will never be mainstream. You may find it fun, but even the biggest supporters can only spend a few hours using it daily. But you can sit in front of a low-cost laptop for hours and get work done; I'm not saying you should, but you can. Try VR for work with your normal parents 8 hours a day, they can't.
@@webluke I mean you're just objectively wrong when the numbers keep going up.

This video is funny, but inaccurate as far as being actual news.
