- Apple's Vision Pro experience is so thrilling, I didn't want to leave. Snow Crash confirmed. Thanks Ant.
- Wear glasses? The Apple Vision Pro could be eye-wateringly expensive. Don't wear glasses? The Apple Vision Pro could be eye-wateringly expensive.

Hmm, though it comes off as gushing, the macworld impressions sure make it sound like barely a step up from existing headsets, and not worth the price if you already have something that's pretty good.
However, I do think VR is still in a niche space where a high price won't be that big of a bar to reach the niche, as long as Apple aren't expecting much more than to fleece early adopters yet again.
If it had been half the price, or if the increase in visual quality/ease of use were higher, I would say it has more potential than that. However, VR only has a chance to grow if the barriers are removed, and this seems going in the opposite direction.

I find it amusing that all these Mac sites are acting like VR is something new, just because it has an Apple logo on it. Unless that headset is hiding a monster GPU inside it, it's not doing anything particularly better than a Quest can do. But Apple fans are bonkers about something they didn't give a shit about until it had that little fruit icon on it.
Eye watering is right - the same price as 11 Oculus Quest 2's.
