Get Steam to support the Game Port tool and SteamVR. You’ll have Mac gaming be on par or dam near close to PC.
Steams Proton and Apples Game Porting Tool are basically the same Wine engine/code.
Or get rid of that front display and I’d consider it.

LOL. I legitimately forgot about this 🥱
They won’t catch on until they’re tiny, like Oppenheimer’s goggles with side guards.
I think Apple is planning this out over a really long time. The Apple Watch also started as somewhat of a novelty to check your notifications and steps - until they brought third party app support, bigger screens etc.
Initially Apple also said the average interaction with the Watch would be something like 7 seconds, now we are endorsed to scroll through our stack for minutes because the Watch developed that way. I see the same happening with the Vision. Starting of as a really clunky product with the goal to obtain real world user feedback etc. to gradually smart things down until it's pretty much a pair of glasses
I wouldn't wear this in public right now but maybe at home. Maybe in 10 years time it's normal to wear this in public too because it's just like a normal pair of glasses - but in order to get there, they need to get out the clunky version at first
The difference is that the Apple Watch is easily worn out and about and not $3.5k
Apart from the normal price, you could pay $1,100 and $10,000 for a Series 0 too if you went for premium bands for example. The vision doesn't offer a cheaper price just yet but it makes sense given that it's a 100% premium product right now, there is no possible downgrade because it really needs to contain the hardware of a MacBook and 2 high resolution screens.
We already see that with budget VR tech now. It’s getting smaller, cheaper and better.
The upper echelon of VR tech has also become more practical over the years, but less so than the lower spectrum.
The way tech works here is simple, in about a decade or so, the top echelon (say Vision Pro) will be a low budget option in terms of VR tech and quality. I’d say in about 10-15 years we’re all going to have access to some of the most realistic and definitive VR tech as long as companies keep investing.
Yes everyone knows including the companies. They don’t expect it to be ready until close to 2030
I’ll wait for the Vision SE.
I think it will be called elderly vision
Who’s buying this?? It’s 4K vision and 4K in price after taxes and apple care
I am seriously thinking about it. If those virtual monitors work as advertised, sign me up. Going to have to test out at the Apple Store before buying tho.
Eh, maybe I’ll get one in 2030.
Yeah, waiting for a few generations is how you get really impressed by new tech.
Didnt Quest 2 already eat the whole market along with the developers?
I very much doubt VR will ever be a big thing. I dont like VR and no one around me would buy one of these things, even if it was like a hundred bucks
My guess is the first gen will focus too much on content viewing and for the price tag not many people will get it. Then Apple will make an untethered version and market it strongly for games for the second gen due to the improved mobility (which is when I plan to get it).
Love to see how returns are gonna work
I’d assume the same as normal. People return quest headsets and PSVR all the time. Even if there are testers it’s not like trying a $300 watch, you’re taking a risk even putting $3500 on a credit card for a few weeks
Not that I care. I don’t own Apple. But maybe they should so either a) Tim sees that he’s failing hard or b) the thing actually sells well and saves Apple’s financial outlook. Currently Apple is sinking, but it’s a very small hole that can be easily be plugged
How is Apple sinking?
I'm just eagerly waiting for the reviews on youtube.
How do you review such a thing?
"Bro, the graphics are amazing, the fluidity of user inteface is like .... trust me bro, you have to see it" ...all while looking at the camera with this contraption on their heads with that weird eyes on outer screen 😂😂
Most VR headsets can stream or output the screen to a PC or phone
The real question is am I going to be able to buy it?
I don’t see this selling very well. I will not be getting one or even trying it.
And of course you were downvoted. 😂
Lol. I didn't even check until you replied. People are stupid. Let them buy this junk.
It works like this: If you’re not buying everything that has an Apple logo on it and shouting “I love Apple and every single thing they do!” you’ll be downvoted to hell.
Oh no. What I am going to do with all this money I was planning to waste in that thing.
Finally, they’re going to fix my biggest problem with the Vision: The first version was too cheap
That guy filming his kids in the photo is gonna cost those kids a fortune in therapy when they grow up
So excited for this. Can’t wait to see how it works and how it looks in comparison to the quest 3
