    The Vision Pro would be a must buy if I was building the VR future, but I’m not, so …?

    Are the rumors true? Steve Jobs used to fart in Tim Cook’s office.

    I dont think apple is tryna build a vr headset. I think they are tryna build a spatial computer. Huge difference.

    No! For the sake of having fun I’d buy an Oculus… Oh yeah I did and it collects dust. The mass consumer market is not ready to adopt a face computer. At least not yet.

    Still like mine. I use it for mostly watching movies with those Apple ear pieces. Hope it gets more apps but I’m not worried.

    Shelfware. Too awkward to use for productivity, mess up makeup and hair, limited battery life, heavy goggles strapped to face… geez, I wonder why it’s a flop. These are better for entertainment but no controllers. Go buy a quest 3 and call it a day.

    Built to be a spatial iphone, not a VR. I have a Vive, Valve Index and an original Oculus Quest. Hell, I even have a virtual boy. The Vision Pro is limited, but it’s in its 2007 1st Gen Iphone stage, it needs time. Let’s hope that apple will continue to push it.
