What I Learned After 7 Days with the Apple Vision Pro

After 7 Days of owning the Apple Vision Pro, I understand why it is easy for some people to hate it. However, there are lots of things about it that are great but also hard to explain with words. I share everything I've learned about Apple's controversial mixed-reality headset and if it has any practical use for WFH professionals.

"You'll suddenly realize how beautiful the real world is". YES! This was my thought exactly! Apple Vision Pro allows me to immerse myself in situations I may never get to do on my own (like tightrope walking at insane heights), but you come out of it realizing how magical real life actually is because of the full human experience, not just a 3D illusion. So glad you pointed that out.

Michael, Such a great review! I pre-ordered my Apple Vision Pro, still waiting, hopefully soon. I have a very specific use case for wanting one and many may think it's overkill for what the Vision Pro costs, but for enthusiasts who spend the same amounts of money on a particular niche, the Apple Vision Pro aligns. 3D Movies and 3D content are the main reasons I decided to get the device. I've spent so much money on projectors, region free Bluray players, expensive imported films not available in the states, and all that together rivals the cost of the Vision Pro. Just my current projector alone is $3000 (when I got it on sale), and though it looks spectacular viewing 3D content (on a 120" screen), its projected image pales in comparison to an OLED system, which the Vision Pro has. And then there's the upgrade aspect beyond that, with the bump in many 3D movies on the Apple Vision pro, remastered at 4K whereas my current system, 3D Blurays, max output at 1080p. 180 3D content, which I experience on my Oculus Go (yes, I'm still rockin' that old VR headset), can't even come close to 8K experiences on the Apple Vision Pro. And sure, the new Meta Quest and other VR headsets can do 3D movies and 180 3D VR content, but I want the best of the best, and the Apple Vision Pro seems to be it when it comes to consumer headsets. And who can forget those Apple Vision Pro environments! Watching movies on the freakin' moon, sign me up! For some use case enthusiasts with the cash, I think the Apple Vision Pro will fit the bill. I don't think there is a "fit all" device, at least I've never seen one, but people will argue their preference until the cows come home. I tend to like to do things that feel right for me. And I know this is unrelated to the Apple Vision Pro, but I see you rockin' Big Blue and the iiRcade! Great home arcade choices! Home Arcade stuff has been the focus of my channel. Love it! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro. I have that 14 day window to try it out and see if its a worthy 3D content upgrade from what I have now. Fingers crossed :) Have a good one! vgv

I have a Mac. Since it’s not movable I have a question: How far can you work on your Mac using Vision Pro? Let’s say Mac is in one of the rooms but you want to work from the living room. Is it possible? Oh, & I liked your review btw 💪🏻

I’m pretty sure it will mirror the screen as long as you are on the same WiFi network. The problem is you have to use a mouse and keyboard to control your mirrored Mac in the Vision Pro. So I assume your mouse/keyboard Bluetooth connection will be the limiting factor in how far away you can be from your desktop Mac

You CAN trim videos in the Vision Pro. Open a video and go up to the menu in the upper right corner of the window and select "Trim". One more thing...I have no trouble reading text on my iPhone using pass through. I suggest you check your optical setup. I am 79 years old and use reader Ziess lenses. This makes everything razor sharp.

There's no Steam VR on this. So you won't get Google Earth VR which is a major bummer as that is mind blowing on the Quest.

This would absolutely be a great investment if it automatically came with remote job offers. I can see this being worth the price for those who make essential content or who work from home. But at some point I'd need a break. For me personally right now I'd mainly use it for watching movies 🤔

I think you've did an excellent job reviewing the AVP. First time to watch a kababayan to review this amazing piece of hardware. A tad bit expensive but who knows, prices might drop in the next generations? Gagana kaya sa Pilipinas? haha. Keep up the great work. Your videos are topnotch

A Dystopia is: a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding. Where does the “Dystopian Future” piece come into play with the Apple Vision Pro?

@jbrink1789 4 ай бұрын

I think the problem that people have is that it's 3,500 and all it offers people is a way to use technically your cell phone or computer with spatial computing. most people would rather not have a headset on and just use their cell phone or use their computer. as far as VR is concerned or immersion is concerned. Apple vision pro only offers productivity but not much in terms of vr immersion. the quest and the PS VR 2 offer a huge lineup of immersive titles

It runs iCloud, Files, Microsoft Office, iWork, Mail, Messages, Safari, FaceTime, SharePlay, Zoom, Teams, and WebEx. Holdout devs notwithstanding, you can also fall back on the iOS library of literally 1 million apps. You can run them in your space or in a nature environment conducive to focus. It enables infinite screen real estate where you can leave all apps open "Full screen". Obviously everyone has different needs and you might have something specific that you need on macOS; that's perfectly valid. But don't speak for everyone or make blanket statements like "no productivity". That's simply untrue.
