    All of that is subjective, to me it really doesn’t feel like the revolutionary product that Apple used to deliver during jobs but I can understand how someone would see it different.

    Personally beyond every physical criticism on the product, I just look at the wow factor. When the iPhone released, almost everyone understood how its the new shit and everything else is obsolete. Same for iPods. I don’t feel like Vision Pro made the other headset obsolete.

    Beside about the stylus for iPad, I’m convinced it was not the size the issue but that jobs wanted people to interact with tech in the most natural possible way, aka finger.

    It was his vision, for the better and the worst, but at least it gives a direction. Cook bought some time by slowly offering stuffs that jobs vision forbade, like a stylus, keyboard for iPad, bigger and bigger iPhone and new variants, customization on iOS, and so on. But by doing that he slowly killed jobs vision and Apple is left nowadays without anything else but desire for greed.

    The Vision Pro looks just like another corporation product, nothing revolutionary.

      Quick recap:

      • new product line
      • machine learning
      • secretive development process
      • unit weight vs competition
      • battery capacities
      • decade old product form factors

      You can’t label any of that subjective and go on to say it’s all about the wow factor. As if there could be anything more subjective.

      Cheers for the laugh though.
