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.

Everyone talks about avoiding oculus products because of the walled garden of available apps, but these are gonna change the world? It’s just a bigger garden with a bigger wall, I just don’t see it happening.

The feeling I get from people that avoid Facebook products is not due to the walled garden but instead due to the company that makes the product.

I don’t want to strap a data collection device to sell me more ads to my face. Hence, I won’t buy an HMD from an advertising company.

Apple is not an advertising company. Yes they advertise on their own properties but a majority of their revenue does not come from ads. As such, Apples incentives are drastically different than Facebook, so I will buy hardware from them.
