  That depends on your view of VR entertainment and Las Vegas-style (adult) attractions. The Vision Pro was showcased with Disney as a content partner. While Disney has historically featured "family friendly" entertainment, there is definitely a market for adult entertainment that the Vision Pro could excel in. Is it "an exciting Las Vegas adventure in the privacy of your home" or "a lonely person in a dark room trying to escape the sadness of reality"?

    Apple won't allow porn-focused applications in their stores. Apple won't allow alternate stores on Apple-branded mobile devices, or sideloading. This is a fundamental disrespect of their customers who have purchased the device. Apple regards their brand image more than allowing their customers to display what they want on the device they own.

      There is a browser on that thing. There will be generic 3d viewers that can access content over the internet. I think you can display what you want one way or the other. That they don't want porn to be the centerpiece I can understand. That's very problematic or outright illegal in most parts of the world.

      I consider this to be hugely beneficial to Apple users. It’s beneficial to Apple too - if everyone was mentally and physically sick from pornoghraphy even more than today, who is going to work, earn money and buy Apple products?
