I don’t see these ever getting cheaper than a smartphone, and probably a flagship smartphone at that. I think it will be a major blocker for adoption outside of niche contexts and tech bros’ homes.
It just depends on how many people buy them. Personally, I think VR has reaches its critical mass for users. Without some sort of major changes to the tech, most people who want a headset already have one and those that don't have probably considered one and figured it's not for them. This is one of the boldest business decisions Apple's made in a decade+ and I can't say I see the rationale behind it other than "we have a trillion dollars and can R&D whatever we want"
The Vision Pro is a major change to the tech. It's not just the difference in resolution (which already fundamentally changes the experience by making text actually viable in more than title screen type giant letters). The quality and latency of the passthrough make it the first actual AR option.
This isn't some impulse, either. They've spent years building to this and waiting for the underlying tech to cross the minimum viable threshold. All of Apple Silicon, Spatial Audio, universal apps, putting ARKit on phones, and many more paths have been building to this. It's very clearly been their vision for a long time, and we've had leaks about them working on it behind the scenes for much of it.
Disagree. I want one but I’ve been waiting for decent pass-through, no computer cable… and fuck Zuck. If not for that last bit, yeah, the Quest 3 would have worked. I’m eager as hell for the Vision Pro 2/3. And the tech is going to improve.
