Comment on Apple Vision Pro available in the U.S. on February 2

Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 (U.S.) with 256GB of storage. Pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro will begin on Friday, January 19, at 5 a.m. PST, with availability beginning Friday, February 2.

So 256GB for all those movies and games you’ll want to play on that long plane ride they keep showing as a way you’ll definitely use these.

I’m in the Apple ecosystem pretty hard, but we’ll really just have to see what rich folks do with this thing.

How many movies do you actually need to store on the device itself? Apple has been all in on streaming stuff so you’d only ever need to actually download stuff when you’re planning on going offline.

That said for it’s price that’s hilariously small storage, but simultaneously peak Apple.

  How much bandwidth do planes have?

    Does it matter? Download a few movies for an 8 hour flight. Not a big deal on any device.
    
    Also I still think this product is horrendously overpriced but it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

    A full-Bitrate HDR 4k feature film is more than 50GB. These use up space real fast.

This is going to be an interesting launch. There’s been rumours about low production volumes so availability may get pushed back much further than February. Which will make judging the initial impressions harder when there are so few devices in peoples hands (or on heads).

I’m also a bit surprised by the lack of build up from Apple. There’s been no push on whatever third party apps are going to be ready for this. The Apple Watch had two dedicated events in the lead up to launch. Even the press release seems a bit basic, most of the imagery seems to be reused from the first keynote press materials.

This is the biggest product introduction since the iPhone but it’s being handled rather quietly.

  I feel like this is the version they’ll put in the goodie bags for celebs at the Oscars to let them create a bunch of buzz. And then next year there will be a version that only costs $2000 or something - still expensive but less out of reach for mortal humans.

    They’d have to drop it significantly for most people to buy. If I had a spare $2k I’d upgrade my Mac.
