To me it looks like Apple's first attempt at true portable computing, no monitors no keyboards. A Lisa to the eventual Mac.
They should use their media arm to popularise it by making sure are the media they produce has an enhanced version for the vision pro.
I think it could eventually be revolutionary but only if they don't lose interest.
- reacharavindh 3y agoThat’s over the top hype than any thread to reality. They sure did a great job at making a portable _monitor_. But, to do anything other than numb consumption of Apple sanctioned content, you’re going to need a keyboard and a Mac. And remember that thing lasts 2.5 hours on a battery hanging by your hip. Sure, it’s a first gen device, and it is supposed to evolve into something that solves several shortcomings, but it certainly does not have the bones for a “true portable computing” platform. They could even add a miniature M* SOC in there to let you wear a MAC on your nose, make it lighter, thinner, etc over the years, but it is still a thing on your nose that you need to interact with an external keyboard. When the iPhone was first introduced, sure it lacked copy and paste, ability to run Flash(in more use at the time), and several shortcomings, but it had the interface(touch screen with just the fingers) nailed perfect that made it the success it is.
