While it is incredibly unlikely I will get a version one of this product without some major feature being announced.
I am excited for this to come out, and to have a company that won't just abandon it actually try their hand at this. I stand by my opinion that if anyone can manage to make a device like this mainstream, it will be Apple. They have the money and the patience to do it.
Now "If" that will happen is still up in the air, but given how many other products have just disappeared after a single less than successful product I have high hopes.
Especially given all of the groundwork they have already been putting into place for this on iPhones for years with their AR kit.
That being said for me the single biggest thing I need to see improved to consider this is how it works with a Mac. This will likely be a more closed platform meaning I can't use it for coding, but if I can hook up my Mac and do more than just a virtual display and actually control the windows independently, it will likely be a very quick purchase for me. Considering how much my monitors right now cost, this price isn't that insane. But the idea of having a truly portable Mac work station would be incredibly invaluable.
Edit: I also stand by my opinion that Apple likely knows this version will not be a success and they already know it's going to take a few versions to hit mainstream. I feel like this is emphasized by the "Pro" name being added giving them room for a non pro version later.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoLinus from LTT pointed out in WAN shows that you don't want a first gen Apple product anyway because it's always a beta product. It's meant for only the most hardcore Apple fan boys / tech enthusiasts, the see what works and what doesn't and quickly replace it with a new better version with much longer support. Gen 2 will be the one for normies.
