I expected mine to gather dust. Instead, I am using it all the time to watch shows and movies. Before the AVP, I actually watched very few movies the last several years. But the viewing experience is so amazing with the Vision Pro, I can’t get enough and I’m catching up like crazy.
- r053bud 2y agoHow many people are in your household? If multiple individuals, do you share TV/movie interests. Do you watch by yourself while they watch something different? I’m interested in learning more from users who are super happy with the product.
- khazhoux 2y agoI have a family, but I’m only user of the AVP. The most delightful thing is watching 30 mins in bed before sleep. Just me in front of a gigantic cinema screen floating above me, with my airpods so it’s completely silent.
- afavour 2y agoWhat were you previously doing with the time you’re now spending watching?
- khazhoux 2y agoIt’s replaced gaming + random youtube :-)
- dangus 2y agoI’m wondering in what way that’s different than buying yourself a 65” OLED TV with an expensive surround sound system and then making yourself watch movies to justify the many dollars of investment. It almost seems like an accident that the product is notable and gets use.
- threeseed 2y agoBecause you can take the Vision Pro away from your living room and use it for more than just video. Your exact same argument was made for the iPad and now it's a $28b/year business.

- dangus 2y agoiPad sales peaked 10 years ago and Apple never cut iPad sales forecasts by 50% like they did with the Vision Pro. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that Apple only makes successful products. They have had poorly selling/discontinued recent product launches like the iPhone mini and HomePod. The VR market as a whole is contracting.
- khazhoux 2y agoI have a 65” actually. The AVP is like having a 200”+ screen. And this isn’t about “hur dur everything bigger is better.” You actually do appreciate cinematography more at a large scale. I’ve had to pause, e.g., some shots in Kill Bill and Gravity just to marvel at the stunning visual compositions. Never once did that on my TV. Oh, here’s something that’s not obvious: the movie screen (and all images) looks matte inside the AVP. This works exceptionally well for films.

- LegitShady 2y agoI totally understand watching media on it. I liked watching media on far worse VR displays. Its just not worth the asking price, to me, for mostly that.
