Funnily enough, your Mac laptop in the real world has better pixels per degree of vision. If you just take the headset off it’s more clear.
The Vision Pro wants to be a VR headset that throws away the existing VR ecosystem. No VR controllers, no beat saber, no Oculus Link, no PC VR.
At the same time, it wants to be a productivity machine that can’t compile its own code and has the same software limitations as iPadOS.
Mobile airplane computer? It fits in a backpack worse than a regular laptop and gets 1/10 the battery life. You could buy an economy plus subscription from United Airlines for 7 years for the same price and just use your laptop on the plane.
I agree that Apple has paths forward to fix all of this, but I disagree that they will go down those paths. I see Apple products like the iPad stagnating because Apple refuses to take them beyond a constrained vision. Apple will never let you install applications outside of their walled garden and they’ll never let you compile code on the Vision Pro.
That’s fine for an entertainment device like a $500 Quest 3 but a $3,500 “spatial computer?”
