You might want to read similar comments that were made about the iPhone when it was launched. And the iPad, and the Apple Watch. My personal answer is that I don't know what it's going to be used for, but I'm betting that it will be used A LOT once that use is figured out.

Whoever manages to slip a porn application by the censors is going to clean up (financially).

  If anyone is familiar in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, it seems reminiscent of "Brain Dances". I could see an app that can play and interact with pre-recorded footage and provide the ability to view that experience in a 3D space

    Dude, check out the 1995 film "Strange Days".

    I thought that was one of the few built-in features that was advertised as shipping with Vision Pro?

    Just FYI, you can just say Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk 2077 is based off of the long-running tabletop rpg Cyberpunk. Same universe, different stories/media.

  There's no sideloading? Typical. At least the EU will fix that soon.

    Ah, but it has a replaceable battery.

I agree, long term, if it's a success, there will be more opportunity. It might be too early right now to risk the investment.

> You might want to read similar comments that were made about the iPhone What comments do you want to share from 2007 that will be relevant? The iPhone was released without an App Store and no intention to support 3rd party native apps until developers demanded it. The App Store was released after millions of units had already shipped. A speculative platform of uncertain consumer interest, shipping a tenth of the units in the first year compared to iPhone cannot be compared to a once in a generation phenomenon where the dev platform was pulled out of the vendor by demand. It will be interesting to see how it turns out but the use cases Apple showed so far are kind of laughable: photos, movies, meditation apps, facetime, 2d games etc. The only tangible benefit was "a big screen". There is more chance these goggles end up in a drawer than an iPhone which was already used compulsively through out the day. > and the Apple Watch It's a popular product but are there many developer success stories on the Watch? AFAIK a handful of fitness/media apps are popular but doesn't it otherwise suck as an app platform?
