Hands-on: I’ve tried Apple’s Vision Pro and these are the five things to be most excited about - iMore (www.imore.com)

No matter if you feel the price tag is too high, or feel it’s a gimmick that won’t appeal to many, the Vision Pro will usher in a new era of apps and products.

To me, this is similar to when the iPhone was getting ready to be released. Many said it was expensive, had no keyboard, was too big and wide to be comfortably held, and would never sell. That all started to change once people got their hands on the device.

I feel that the Vision Pro will have the same effect, but this is one device you’ll truly need to test out and experience. Based on those that have been fortunate enough to actually use it, it’s not a gimmick.

I had a phone in my pocket before the iPhone came out. It was quite similar. It replaced an existing item that had room for improvement.

These goggles are not replacing or upgrading anything.

Not saying it’s a bad product but I disagree with your take on it being similar to the iPhone. It’s too niche and too expensive.

They replace monitors.

Not at that price they don’t.

Agreed, at that price point the people buying them already have the best TVs, this would almost be a downgrade strapping to your face. Infact I have vr, but much prefer my tv for watching. I only use it for gaming.
