Speaking of Apple Vision Pro, there are some nice pieces reflecting on the product’s first year.
The first one that caught my attention today was a realistic and refreshing assessment by Adam Savage and company:
Moments ago, Jason Snell at Six Colors shared his well-thought-out analysis as well:
I’ve got plenty of complaints about how Apple has handled the Vision Pro rollout. There was too much hype for a product like this, it hasn’t produced enough immersive video content despite immersive video being the product’s most eye-popping feature, and in general it has failed to attract enough eager developers ready to build the next big thing.
However, I have to compliment Apple on doggedly improving the product itself.
Read his piece in full for a thorough take on how Apple Vision Pro has performed in year one. There’s a lot more there.
My own take over the weekend was fairly simple.
One year later, Apple Vision Pro has improved enough through software updates to make it more capable than on day one.
Making ordinary photos come to life by adding depth is amazing. Extending your Mac’s display to the size of two 5K monitors side-by-side is impressive. More than anything, Apple Vision Pro has become the best personal and portable immersive movie theater on the planet.
But with the one-year mark comes one less excuse for Apple Vision Pro. We can no longer excuse Apple Vision Pro’s shortcomings by saying, “It’s just the first year.”
Also, I really want a virtual coffee shop Environment for Apple Vision Pro.
Apple has already shown that it can improve the existing product with feature refinements and additions. Could the second year also be when Apple upgrades the now two generations behind M2 to an upcoming M5?
