It's incredibly early in the story of the Apple Vision Pro. My take on it based on what I've read so far, the current revision doesn't have a compelling reason for owning it…yet. It seems more of a developer preview device with the unfortunate name of "pro" attached to it. With an equally unfortunate $3k+ price tag.

Like other sci-fi enthusiasts I look forward to the day where we have virtual screens that just appear in front of us. And while you could argue this is what the Vision Pro affords, the awkward bulky ski goggle setup isn't what I had in mind.

Dan Sinker has a few pics from today's hands-on and I can't really disagree here.

There seems to be no way to wear an Apple Vision Pro and not look like a total herb.

While true, I don't think today is a fair look at where this tech will be five to ten years down the road. Everything has to start somewhere. Apple don't want the kooky ski goggles any more than I do. They'll iterate over the design and perhaps years from now there will be a reason to own one. At an affordable price point.

Or not, and this was all an expensive solution in search of a problem 🤷🏻‍♂️
