- TillE 3y agoIt's true though, the device is clearly intentionally overbuilt, it's not like Apple is adding some huge arbitrary markup.
- Krasnol 3y agoWe'll see about that.
- crooked-v 3y agoFrom the previews people have had so far, I feel like they decided their target was "could plausibly and comfortably replace a computer day 1 even for someone who had never used a VR device before", then went backwards from the hardware needed for that to figure out their price point.
- wincy 3y agoCan I write software using Xcode day 1 for this? Do I need to also have a Mac? I mean I do have a Mac but an extra $3500 is steep. That said I’ve planned to get one since I heard rumors years ago that this was in the works. I sort of expected it to be a full replacement for a MacBook though.
- Joeri 3y agoApple has an app developer story for ipad with swift playgrounds. It would not surprise me that their long term strategy is to grow that into the default app dev experience and have it be on all platforms, including visionOS. As for developing from day one, web development should be ok, as things like vs code online have really opened ip options.
