Reddit clowned soooo hard on the iPad when it was launched.
Comment on YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 5 months agono, they werent. the ipad replaced the netbooks everyone wsa using until tablets became viable. again, an actual use case for a product.
theyve been pushing these headsets for years now, and theyve gained little traction and not solved any of the common problems.
anyone who thinks this is will some popular thing everyone will be doing is smokin the reefer, or just not paying attention

How have they been “pushing these headsets for years” considering that we’re literally discussing the launch of this product?

The giant thing on my head that's spose to help...ar/vr...
This is unnecessary technical debt compared to what is already in place. It solves no current problem in my space.
But hey, maybe it will work for your niche use case

Your initial post was “wtf is the use case for this”. The answer to that is literally anything computational that has physical limitations.

do you seriously think retail consumers are the demographic Apple is trying to capture right now?
talk to some creative professionals & craftsmen. my company used to work with hololens on a regular basis but there way too much jank in how it performed in a live setting. If the Vision Pro provides even the same level of utility but manages to make live object rendering & tracking consistent and reliable, they’re going to sell truckloads. Hollywood alone has probably 100 different ways to use this tech to slim creative workflows and save time (and therefore money) on set.

How is retail not their demographic? All the marketing for this thing has people sitting on the couch, watching movies, viewing their children’s photos in 3D, relaxation and meditation, taking photos with the headset on at a kids birthday, playing NBA 2K24, browsing news, spacial audio. Even the work stuff is pushing things like FaceTime and virtual screens. If retail consumers aren’t their demographic someone should let the marketing department know

You’re a retail consumer and you’re confused why all of the messaging you’re seeing is geared towards retail consumers?

nope, i think this will sellout to their core audience, the 1%s. its just funny many people think they are part of that number.
but my point is, this isnt a mass market device. its not a new ipad or iphone... this is an imac. a niche product for their niche audience.

why would it need to be a massive immediate retail success?
moreover, why do you seem so irritated that you might not be the target audience here?
