So, all revolutionary Apple products have one thing in common: they are easy to use and work out of the box without further expansions/extras from their version 1.0 on.
Ipod: it just works. No need to swap AA batteries any more.
MBP: light and powerful, all in one.
Iphone: the whole internet in my pocket.
But, Vision Pro Headset doesn’t feel like that. The cable that goes behind… awful. You use glasses, oh well, then the headset won’t work out of the box until you buy the appropriate lenses for it. 2h of battery… well, I guess it will stay more time connected to the charger than in use.
I know, they’ll improve it substantially in v2… but my point is: if v1 is not good enough, then perhaps v2 would never come to life.

- idopmstuff 3y ago> Iphone: the whole internet in my pocket. I think this is overstating how it was for the first version of the iPhone - not only was there a total lack of third party apps, but accessing the internet was also not great because nothing had been mobile-optimized yet. I agree Vision Pro feels lacking in terms of the sleek feel + design that we've come to expect from Apple, but it may well be that the experience of using it is substantially better than Meta's headsets. If so, that feels about right for Apple - swoop in when the market is just starting to be worth it with a product that's better than what's out there, then stay ahead by making meaningful improvements in the first few generations.
