The Vision would be uninteresting to me at anything beyond pocket change prices. I have an SF concept of the type of augmented reality that could be interesting but we're nowhere near there.

Really, I'm an Apple fan but MacBooks and iPhones are the only devices I'm genuinely attached to. I haven't replaced a broken old iPad (at least not yet) and my Apple Watch is something I basically use for hiking.



I was in the Apple Store in Regent's Street in London yesterday. They had Vision on display. The headbands were already visibly dirty and nobody was looking at them anyway. At £3,500 it's no wonder why. My personal take on Vision is that it was created to shut up Wall Street asking why Apple does not have a VR vision/product? So they produced a product that will join Pippin and Newton and will kill it before Wall Street starts asking why they have a VR product when nobody else is investing in VR?


I was in their Covent Garden store late spring/early summer--admittedly not at a peak time--to ask to take a look at one of the new iPads. And, yeah, no one was playing with the Visions.

Even if they're skeptical, probably makes sense for them to be playing with (even very visibly). But I'm not sure I see a general use case at this point.
