Let alone get one for free —
Thoughts:
- Who was the ignoramus who even approved this product in the first place?
- If Steve Jobs was alive today, or even if Jony Ive was at Apple today … no way in hell he or they would’ve approved the product.
Issues
- It is already outdated. It uses the measly M2 chip, which is almost a generation or year old. M3 chip is already out, in the MacBook Pro as well as the iMac; so in terms of productivity work etc., you’re actually much better off getting a new MacBook Pro or even an iMac over this thing?
- I actually think the technology in the oculus rift S is superior; Meta —
It must be intuitive and not need a demo
I did a recent demo, at the Apple in Century City mall in Los Angeles, worst experience of my life. What were the big problems here?
First, this insanely lame idea that I had to follow instructions? My simple suggestion is just let people run wild for 15 minutes, and see whether they could discover how to use it intuitively or not. If a user cannot figure out how to do it intuitively, like a child… The project and the product must be killed.
Nobody wants it?
Another big issue here; I was watching all these Apple tech developer videos for the new visionOS, and the developers themselves who directly work with Apple don’t seem to be enthusiastic about the product? Really bad news.
Pass through makes no sense?
To me the need for this pass-through technology is insanely bizarre and strange to me; isn’t it better or just superior to instead, just use an 11 inch iPad Pro instead, and let your real life eyes do the rest of the work?
Why sit?
Another big problem here; when you’re doing the demo, why are you encouraged to sit, why not stand instead?
