$3500. to see a floating spreadsheet. 🤦♂️
People paid that much to see a glowing spreadsheet 40 years ago.
To be fair, people also said the iPad was just a big iPhone. It’s really a question of what will developers be able to do with the hardware.
The stupid thing is heavy as hell. Still it will sell really well as a status symbol
Or because it is genuinely cutting edge, and there’s nothing else with the pixel density (even a pretty small step down murders text) and high quality low latency passthrough available?
Can I just buy the status symbol and then not have to wear this bullshit?
Sound great, but it just means they got sent a link to a video and will probably have to watch it on their own time .

Now that is interesting. In other briefings, they have claimed that someone from every store, selected via interview process, will go to Cupertino for 2 days training.
And that people who ordered online, will be pushed to collect in store to receive the “complex setup” from a trained employee.
I don’t believe either. Because it speaks to a product that would be difficult to use (against Apples “it just works” ethos. ). And one they wouldn’t sell online because of said “complex setup”
Doesn’t sound right to me.
Maybe it’s less about difficulty of use and more of the size of the paradigm shift. The Vision Pro could require a more hands on setup to help guide people through an initial experience which may seem quite alien, even if it quickly becomes intuitive after.
Customers that need prescription lenses would also probably benefit from in person setup as well.
