i feel like it's going to be another case of the ipad. i dont really remember anyone thinking the original ipad had a reason to exist when it came out (myself included). but after 8-10 years or so, it found a problem that it could solve. (it's a nice way to take handwritten notes.) it's not really necessary now, but it's certainly way more useful than the original ipad was when it first came out.

i dont think the original vision pro will be that useful to anyone, but it might start a line of products that leads to something interesting in 8-10 years. or not, who knows.

Spending a Thousand dollars on a glorified legal pad sounds clinically insane.

I have a TV for watching things at home.

I have a phone for watching things on the go.

If I need to look up information outside my house, again I have my phone which I already pay to be connected to the internet. You need an additional line on your plan for a data connection on an iPad, or rely on public WiFi.

If I need to take notes on something, I can use a 1 dollar legal pad or notebook, which is barely bigger than an IPad and will never run out of charge. If I need to take so many notes that I’ll fill up an entire notebook, I’ll probably just ask to record the thing as a voice memo on my phone.

I’ve still never been convinced that an iPad is a useful device, and I don’t see any way the Vision Pro will be useful for anything other than inundating us with advertising for a larger percent of our existence. God forbid someone spend 10 minutes not looking at their phone and generating revenue for an ad company, now they want to literally strap them to our heads.

doesnt sound like it's something that will be of much use to you, and thats fine. but i use it all the time to annotate textbooks and take notes when studying.

Before all phones were phablets, a tablet was a good middle ground between phone and laptop. Especially for casual browsing and media not having a keyboard in the way and the better battery life was a real benefit to sofa computing.

Now we are seeing phones encroach on 7 inches, what would have been a small tablet a decade ago their use case has dwindled. Now they are a laptop alternatives or child minders.
