    I know this is a community designed to give us a place to hate on Apple and all of it’s products, but I love the Vision Pro.

    Ironically I use it the most for porn consumption. It’s fantastic for 2D porn viewing of all kinds.

    I can’t wait until someone makes Apple Immersive Video quality porn. That experience would make this headset suddenly affordable to a lot of guys out there.

      The vast majority of things the Apple vision pro does have already been done better on the Quest platform… Including porn.

      But the Quest also has a wide selection of games… And is much cheaper.

        Well, I guess you never tried the vision… there is a very big difference in screen quality. I rather pay more instead of watching porn in less than 720p (respectively of course, 4k+ isn’t that great with VR eye distance) Apple vision has 35 to 50 PPD (Pixel per degree) (compared to 70 PPD on their Retina screens) while the ques 3 only has maximum 25 PPD

    I’m not surprised. I’ve watched a few reviews of this thing and still cannot think of any real use case.

    It’s a version 1 product that mainly exists for developers. It is expensive. Sales were always going to be slow. Hopefully in the future manufacturing develops that allows a much cheaper and improved version, while developers create great new uses for the tech.

      I can see developers working on Vision Pro apps and games if they’re more expensive on that particular platform.

      So I think it will be like the iPhone app store compared to Google Play store, with iPhone having more paid apps, and Google having more free apps… Only in the VR space Meta is the competitor, and already has a wide selection of apps and games.
