Not sure about monitors but it definitely replaced the mythical Apple television!

At $3,500, will you buy a Vision Pro?

In a way, it's a very good thing they made this, as it gets the ball rolling. Maybe the third generation will be a consumer device? I doubt the second. The second will probably just be an improvement with possibly a lower cost, or not.

At half the price I’d have bought it on a whim (I’m the idiot that still thinks the iPad is going to be his sole portable computing device… which I thought from the OG model… I used it in grad school for a while)
As it is, I’m going to wait and see. Once developers have their mitts on it and it gets reviewed in the wild, I reserve the right to be an imbecile and spend disposable income on it… or to wait on a later gen model…

I loved what I saw during the presentation. But it was all computer graphics.
Let’s wait and see how it works in the real world.
And even then; not for this price.

I'll be there in mid 2024 with a VisionPro... working during the flight, taking 3D video and pictures and whatever else I can get it to do.
It's got my attention, that's for sure. I want to say that $3500 is more than I'd pay for a first gen product like this, but I can't deny that I'm an early adopter at heart.
My biggest problem right now is I'm pretty fully saturated on devices. I don't need, and really can't afford adding another. Something would have to go, I think. I hope this could be a laptop replacement, but in the short term it's more likely an iPad replacement. What the iPad has that Vision lacks is the ability to share content. What a laptop has that Vision lacks is complete confidence I can do everything with it that I currently do.
I look forward to learning more over the next few months, and maybe giving one a test drive.

I guarantee this won't solve your "people stare at me" problem...
It is a FREAKIN' AMAZING piece of tech tho.If I had the money, I would definitely get it. But sadly I don't
Right now it’s not a buy for me but it’s pretty damn cool and I can imagine getting one in a few years.
There’s lots of cool practical uses when it gets smaller, driving, biking, hiking, skiing. I can see a race car drive having lap times and instrument read outs on it, obviously we are in the infancy right now. Feels like kinda early 90s ish home computing.
It also makes you look like Dale Earnhardt and that’s bad ass

People laugh, but you’re dead on. We are seeing a first gen product and judges EVERYTHING we feel about this category as it is now
imagine 5-10 years down the light this technology shrinks into the size of some sunglasses. Imagine its affordable. Imagine it becomes so ubiquitous everybody has one like an Apple Watch. Imagine they have sharing features where we both see the same virtual displays in a room.
The concept here is the future. This is exactly what the next step for the iphone is. The long game isn’t a foldable iphone. It’s a virtual iphone thats anywhere
Most people balk at new technologies but then Apple comes around and does it "their" way and then folks wonder how they ever lived without that new technology.
Not buying it at $3500. It will be much higher in international markets.
I’m the target sucker for this thing. Been waiting 35 years for someone to do this half as well as Apple has done it. I don’t even mind that it’s still early days and there’ll be huge advancements in the first couple generations that will make us look back on this in and chuckle that it was so limited & rough. I’d still get one. …But, that price tag. Realizing there’s no way to get CAD running on an intel Mac via boot camp up on Apple Vision means this is not a money maker for me, just another personal expense doomed to depreciate, and quite a whopper at that. Slap tax on that $3500 and it’s actually going to cost $4k. I can maybe see justifying half that, if I really push it.
unfortunately yes. I want so badly to wait for a more developed verison. But I've wanted an apple friendly VR/AR experience for so so so long that I don't think I can wait. I'll be kicking myself when 2 years later my device is mostly obsolete and the new one does 5x more cool stuff for half the money. But I don't have a closet full compromised fist generation apple devices for nothing, and I'm not about to change my habits just because this is the device I've wanted most for most of my life!
6 years ago, I got LASIK surgery for $3500 to take my vision to 20/20 without glasses & contacts. That was a huge quality of life improvement. I'm not going to spend $3500 for Apple Vision Pro. I really don't see it as a game changer like the original iPhone was.
I never had a blackberry but when I got the iPhone back in 2007 I was like whoa, I don't even have to get out of bed, I can just check my work email when my phone alarm goes off, reply to some emails, then I go back to snoozin' for another 10 minutes.
Not sure I want a computer on my face.

...Yawn. If the history of VR/AR glasses taught us one thing... It's that expensive bulky goggles that make you look like you just returned from a ski trip or a deep ocean dive are just not that attractive a proposition to the average consumer.
Wake me up when these have the size and weight of regular glasses and custom styles are available to fit a person's personal preferences. And last at least 12 hours of run time. And allow AAA VR/AR games to be played on the go. For less than $799 (current value).
I'll see you in a couple of decades.
