I can’t imagine him being excited about the external battery pack though.

my guy casually has only one video in his channel and it happens to be a masterpiece 👏👏

He would have been very proud of it. His last statement in this video was about "the thinkers and the doers." He respected the people who brought innovation to Apple, and like with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, Apple was not the first one to market with MP3 players, smart phones, or tablets. But they looked at the stuff that was out there, and they figured out how to make it substantially better, where the old state-of-the-art looked like vintage technology by comparison. That is EXACTLY what the Vision Pro is. AR/MR/VR devices have existed for over 10 years, but there has never been anything even close to this. Yes, it's a lot more expensive. But then again, so was the iPhone, and I remember a particularly damning video of Steve Ballmer (the quintessential buffoon) mouthing off about how stupid it was to try to sell a $500 cell phone without a keyboard. Oops. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9-nnJOZxL-Zj4k.htmlsi=z-_a2y33V7iKs0or This is like the iPhone on steroids. Jobs would have loved the whole premise of it. Yes, he might have pushed the team a little more to make it lighter and more comfortable for longer periods of time. And I'm sure he'd be pushing for a version 2 that allowed for people to go into a shared immersive environment with other Vision Pro users (to watch a movie together, for example, or just to hang out and play a game in a virtual living room). But remember, version 1 of the iPhone cost $500, it had very limited functionality, 2G data speeds, SMS messaging only, no cut/copy/paste function, no ability to switch between different apps, and NO APP STORE. We were all limited to the few apps that came with the phone. This is version 1 of the Vision Pro. Let's see what happens next... Maybe a "Vision Air?" Or just a plain "Apple Vision?" Less expensive versions made "unapologetically" out of lighter weight plastic with a little less functionality in some areas, but maybe a lot more functionality in others? I think this is the coolest thing Apple has come out with since the iPhone, and I believe most reviewers online agree with that. Everyone is quick to point to the high price and discomfort after 30-45 minutes of wearing it. But again... it's version 1.0. Let's see what they do next!

This is the part that Meta doesn't quite get yet, as it's not making its headsets as easy and intuitive to use as humanly possible but rather convoluted messes that require setting up various accounts, linking to phones that require their mobile apps, clunky cross use of their UI stuff, etc. Even just turning the thing on and getting in to use it for the first time is a total nightmare where you are basically locked out of even using your bought and paid for device until you jump through a whole bunch of unnecessary hoops, when it literally should be as simple as turn on, menu appears, use.

No. He wouldn’t have launched the Vision Pro in this version. I’m a hundred percent convinced about this.

Well done sir. I love how you didn’t give your own take on this. Just let the archive footage ride and we make up our minds on the topic

Knowing Steve's obsession for simplicity and a product needing to solve problems or make things easier in productivity, he would've said, eh, this'll do for now.

Beautiful music choice, stunning storytelling

Great video man, really well made. As far if Steve would be proud, is only something god knows. Having read his biography, I am proud of what apple has done with vision pro. And I really think it doesn't get enough hype. I've noticed apple taking a downtrend in their simplicity, which was one of the core features, but the vision pro sticks to these "jobs" principles. Anyways I'm super excited for it to launch, hope you are too.

cool channel....looking forward to seeing more of your work. loved the musical choices here and editing. we want more!

Steve Jobs was a dreamer, but Tim Cook is a maker. Tim Cook has taken a dream well beyond any dreamer could. Airpod, AppleWatch, Apple Silicon are absolute liders in their field. Vision Pro will also get there. Yes, he would be more than proud.

Sadly I think he would view the Vision Pro as being like the Newton MessagePad and he would have entered the market when they could produce an iphone/ipad.

Thank you for this, I miss Steve Jobs, he was ahead of this time. Ultimately I believe Steve would say this is a good product, but not great.

that guy owes me damages to for colluding to suppress my wages as an animator. snake

Great work on the video. Lots of great and forgotten clips. Looking this far back, you can see how focused he was on making experiences.

Really great! I love watching videos of Steve and you found a really great narrative through the years.

This is so simple, so great.

Subbed & Liked! Enjoyed the video! Good work & God bless in 2024!

Beautiful, just beautiful

Great Jobs

I appreciate that rather than simply ranting about your own views for 20 minutes, you simply presented the facts, and left it up to interpretation. Here are his thoughts at the dawn of their own, rudimentary technology, truly compared to now, none of that stuff is worth a damn. But only by taking those steps in the beginning are we able to arrive here.

This was a beautifully made piece of content. I’m not sure Jobs would have appreciated the final design of the hardware (especially considering how the plastic layer is over the glass and so easily scratched…the external battery pack, how heavy it is, etc) but would have loved VisionOS. Apple needs to find another Jony Ive for sure.

I think he'd be impressed by the engineering and business. Probably not so much on marketing or his young initial "vision." Maybe proud to see his progenitors make Apple their own and make quality products. Apple has moved into being tools for entertainment. Only the price elevates it above toys. Siri fails to follow his vision, for now. People in reviews, albeit slightly comedic and ingenuine in tone, have some issues using the Vision Pro. Their answers are in settings but the point is that you shouldn't have to think or work for it. Common issues: * People not being aware of Look & finger tap to type. * Not aware of the deep integration of Siri and leveraging it to navigate the OS/Apps. * Manual requirement to initiate Travel mode. I assume they want to discourage people using it walking or driving. * accidental look+tap control issues while fidgeting and doing physical tasks Most people want VR because they want escape. Half of people have mediocre, failing, or outright toxic relationships with themselves, family, friends, society. Days low on thrills and life. Only people who are bound to multiple monitors for work and craft come to the desire for VR-for-work. VR is not a status item, it's intimate and associated with gamer culture. Music is primal (ipod), phones are necessary, computers are legacy. What's the need or market for VR? Vision Pro is only serviceable for software and videographers. Apple doesn't do video games/toys. What $3.5K buys you are: * 2K QHD gigantic 3D Movie screen with good surround sound. And we don't make 3D movies anymore really. * A large QHD monitor that seems to be a bit laggy * Potentially easier computer use giving our carpal tunnels and back a break. * Portability That's an expensive research experiment. Things that can improve with generation 1: Tools * Marketing and integration of Siri and upcoming AI features * If devs of Davinci Resolve, Final Cut, Blender, CAD software, 3D printer software, Visual Studio Code, etc optimize for it * related to popular productivity software: customizable virtual controls. * Probably too heavy and risky for the eyes but some fitness app integrations. I hate having to turn my head to a screen or sit and search and organize movements. * Related to games but learning apps. Best way to learn is to do. There already exists music learning apps. * Better environment enhancing. The Vision Pro detects Apple Watches and allows you to see it while in Immersive mode. keyboards and desk space need to be zoned in. * MORE AR. being able to use a random stick and the desk as a drawing tablet. Binding the virtual keyboard to the surface of a desk. * haptic accessories. Escapism * If there's improvement to be made with PS5 remote play & steam link that would fulfill orig VR expectations and compete with these new goggles-as-monitors products. * This may be below Apples tastes but AI upscale of Google Earth. Preview vacations. Maybe a VR vacation planning app and make a cut selling experiences.

The best youtube content I have seen in a while.

I think he would be mostly proud. I also think there's a few things he would have asked for more there.

I think the video speaks its clear language: he wouldn't be proud of the vision pro. -Decent marketing, sure. -GREAT tech and engineering, that's a fact. But when it comes to the product I'm convinced he never would have let it out in the market. He would have said no to a lot of things to focus it on being "a pair of headphones for your eyes". A portable mega screen which you could carry anywhere. Using your regular input devices, mouse and keyboard, to control it.

Man, the music is on point!

I think Steve would not have released a product without a clear use case.

I think he’d hate it because it doesn’t have a point. Think about the iPod - 1000 songs in your pocket. Think about the iPhone - a phone, an iPod, an Internet browser. What is the Vision Pro’s point? What is its killer app? What is its advantage worth 10 times the competitor’s price? I can’t give a good answer on any of those, from what I’ve seen.

The fact I have over 800 videos and your channel is already doing better than mine ahhhhhhhhh

I really doubt it. He literally says you build products that the customers need not build products first and then find customers for that product which the vision pro is looking for its customers right now.

Great stuff

thank you,

If you gave someone that had never used a computer before a Vision vs. anything else; I am 100% sure they would find the Vision more intuitive and enjoyable.

I think Steve would love it however demand it be a pair of glasses or something more seamless

he wouldn't, there is no "innovation" here, it's a package of outsourced tech

Steve Jobs would be very proud. I'm sure he would, Vision Pro is an amazing product.

That thing is apple dipping its toes with the intent to pull out and prepare further.

I don’t know Steve, but I am certainly not happy with it as an Apple fan. The vision pro is an unfinished product without a clear usecase: It fails in key functions (passthrough isn’t that good, fov is bad, it’s too heavy, battery life is bad, the tracking stops sometimes, personas are bad, the eye display in the front is terrible) and the only usecase at the moment are blown up iPad apps.

I think Steve would be very proud especially given what he said in this video that lines up with the ease of use and advancement of computers into a virtual headset. However, he would not agree with the price, alienating the customer base. If Apple can get the headset much cheaper than I can definitely see vr becoming even bigger for Apple and the industry

i don't think he would be proud of what apple has become but he might be proud of some of the technology in it

3:20 The iPhone was a solution that solved many problems. The Vision Pro is a solution looking for a problem. As for the user experience Steve would have modified the Vision Pro heavily. He would have removed the EyeSight screen. He would have reduced the weight by moving the computing to be with the battery housing and making the cable Thunderbolt. There would be an internal battery in the housing but a swappable battery that could slide on. There would be a strap that would allow the user to wear the housing on his back. He would have created a more elegant band that transfers the load to the crown of the head. He would made the primary way to navigate with a trackpad and keyboard that you could wear.

I think that he would be angry at the price. He commented in the past that he never wanted to price Apple products where his customers could not afford it. I'm a life long Apple customer and I still can't believe that they set the price where they did. It's like Apple gave the middle finger to the major of it's customers including me.

7:18 what does he mean by slash and burn

He would have probably have seen what it looks like and then yelled at everyone and then soaked his feet in the top tank of a toilet.

He would have had a big cry, just like with the original iMac and the CD drive tray, which version 2 replaced with the slot feed. But it still would be released. Let's not forget the advances between the first iPhone and iPhone 5, same with the first Apple Watch and Apple Watch series 3.

Where the ipod was necessary for apple, its lifespan was extremely short. Would the vision pro fall into that category? Their were mp3 players on the market, the ipod was just better. Their are vr/ar headsets on the market, but the vision pro is just better. I believe the longevity for AVP is there. As an owner of one for a little more then a week, I and everyone that I've had try it love it too. Besides the obvious(the super clear displays), the intuitive eye traction partnered with the Apple OS that we all agree is the most intuitive easiest to navigate ui makes it the obvious next step for Apple. When it's affordable, it'll take over the world guaranteed. Until the creation of REAL comercially interactive holographic displays, the AVP is a very smart decision to take on. Props to Tim Cook.

He would because this the one product that’s made me want to get into the whole apple ecosystem

I think he’d have gotten a kick out of it

He would have thrown it right in the bin. "Who the hell would wear scuba gear all day? It should fit in a pair of sunglasses" his unsaid quote from heaven

Nope, Stece Jobs would have gone for a proper AR glasses product that would have been light, had an open field of view and would look cool to wear both indoors and outdoors. Instead we got a heavy over-engineered VR headset that does only AR with and has an external battery pack.

It very could have been his brain child. It was patented back in 2007

Can you afford it?

I think Jony Ive might have a few comments.

the vision pro is everything he ever wanted

He'd hate apple now. The locked down nature of them where programmers can't do anything with their devices, the frustrated artists and their applications having constant issues, the loose ends. the vision pro does do things, but my phone can do a lot of the same things; my laptop does a lot of what it struggles to do. now with the vision pro, it's just to early; it tries to be all these devices. Maybe once they turn it to glasses, then some neon genesis evangelion of combining everything to one. maybe he'll like it. but now he'd probably wait

Great video, but I'm really not a fan of AI 4K upscalers. They make everything look artificial.

i think so.

I frankly don’t care he’s not running it anymore it’s a business not a family.

sub num 168

“Technology in search of a customer”

Ask Wozniak..

It's the most anti-Steve Jobs product they've ever released. A ridiculously overengineered device that solves no apparent problems, and has no killer use case. I think he'd flip his shit at the sight of the monstrous FaceTime avatars. Like he'd really have a fit and fire someone. Cool tech demo though.

I guess the answer is 'No' !

Apple fanboys always need approval from their god Steve Jobs to enjoy their devices not made by Jesus Jobs. 🤣

Steve Jobs, the guy who created the iPod, because his daughter wanted to hear music, clearly would have created some shit which is not usable and way too expensive. I mean, listen to him actually reducing the huge product line of Apple because he himself did not understand why someone would buy an Apple IIgs expansion modem card or whatever. He did less, but with great care. He filtered a lot of shitty ideas and created the image of premium. Not like Tim Apple, who does do shit and sell a watch which is golden and like 22.000,- or now this very alpha headset for 3.500,- ...

NO!

The goggles make the customer look like a frickin’ douche. This product might have been to most tone deaf move in history.

he would of not of agreed with 3500 device, there would of been 3 , 1000 -2500 and 3500 device

Without a doubt he would not have been excited about this product, but perhaps he would have been forced by the will of investors. Apple hasn't been innovating for many years and this product won't change that, just look at how much they are appealing to KZfaqrs to review the product in a clearly rigged game.

No

Idk, Apple made tech cool. I don't see anything cool about this new Apple thingy. To clarify, it's cool tech, but it's not "cool."

I don't think he would've been proud of it at all. The thing runs hot, looks horrible, has an external battery pack and isn't even that interesting.

No. Tim Cook is about facilitating business but not innovation. He's just not an innovator and has been playing it safe with Apple's brand loyalty and just copying what other companies are doing. The fact that he didnt buy Tesla really cheap when he had a chance is all you need to know.

If he was that good of a person (evidence says not), I don't think he wouldn't been proud of the outcome from the "smartphone"... I don't even think he had a clue what it was going to cause in society, beyond the best benefits and at the same time, the least regarded. Damn it, I do think he would be applauding this nightmare we are in.

I think Steve Jobs will be turning in his grave to what Apple has become. apple was innovative but now longer do that it's just pure money making now look at the modern iPhone it's really no different to the other phones just with a higher Price Tag how apple has Fallen once Steve died

Nothing new in this video... Friggin clickbait !!

Nop

He'd be proud of the innovation, simplicity and relative affordability of the product. However, he would not be proud of Apple as a whole as it has barely innovated since he died and has been solely focused on financial growth.

No because it’s shit

No. Because it's too expensive

No
