This was one of the most insightful and thoughtful vision pro reviews I’ve watched. Great work!

“I’m making a video, you’re watching it…you’re the bigger dork” hahaha, love it

As a first generation iPhone buyer. The only thing holding me back from owning a Vision Pro is the starting price.

Thanks for this review. It's the most reflective one I've seen yet; and echoes my thoughts exactly. It hits different when you are only wearing one to write a review, than when you own one and really reflect on incorporating it into your life - gen 1 flaws and all.

I can’t wear mine for more than than an hour before my face gets numb and pain sets in

I‘m a fan of the Vision Pro but it won’t replace my iPad in the near future. I’m a student and my iPad is therefor holy to me. It’s the easiest device to read and mark up very long texts. It allows for quick note taking and drawing graphics. Also it’s more simpler and less intrusive than the AVP. My iPad doesn’t distract me from classes nor does it hinder collaborations. I can easily hand over my iPad to a fellow student to share their thoughts or to explain me something. I’d say the AVP is its own category next to iPad, MacBooks, iPhones etc.

This is going to be very cool when the Vision Pro is integrated with home appliances and other stuff around the house. Look at the tv turn it on, change it the channel ect. Look at the oven turn it on adjust the temp. Fireplace. Lights. Fans. Ac and heat. Coffee pot. Anything that can be switched.

Wow, I think that was a pretty intense non-full review LOL! I look forward more about this, but I can see your passion and your excitement for this product

27:12 I hope I can save enough ahead of the UK release. One thing I’d love know is whether it was worth getting the 1TB model

I have the Vision Pro and one thing people are not talking about is that the native apps do not have a lot of the functionality that’s on other Apple products for instance, the Photos app you cannot edit photo and you cannot rotate a photo which is something you can do on every other Apple product Those things will update overtime but they are also things that I miss when I’m using it. But I love it and would never take it back!

Thanks for your positive take. I agree about comfort. The single loop is great to me for several hours. I also like just picking it up, attaching the battery and using it. I don't have to look for the controllers or monitor their battery levels along with the headset. I don't have to attach light blockers like I do on the Quest Pro. Eye tracking-wise, I experienced that hiccup today in Safari with RU-vid. I accidentally took the player back to the start after I was 3/4ths in. I opened YT in Juno which solved that.

What is the best room setup for AVP? Will users need to buy new furniture or redesign their home or office interiors?

I think the shape of one’s head makes a big difference in the level of comfort one has with the Apple Vision Pro. I’ve noticed that those that complain the most about comfort are people with longer, narrow faces/heads. People with a broader head shape seem to wear it most comfortably.

Great call outs! I visited a friend for long weekend, and I spent at least 2-2.5 hours at a time I. It, and no issues. I thought the pass thru was great. Everything I did in it was better than when I did it on my iPad, TV, phone or laptop. I also just love the Spatial videos and Panoramas….. and the sports possibilities are keeping me beyond excited about the near future!

Great video as always, but try the dual loop strap. Seriously, just try it. Also, to beat the movie theater experience combine it with a Subpac connected via a bluetooth receiver.

i like new setup!! natural sun light is awesome :)

I found that going to Settings>Control Center>Environments and selecting Environments to Light instead of Dark or Automatic helps the glare issue. Just choose an environment such as Moon.

I’m keeping mine. I have the terabyte model. FTW

You can drastically reduce the lens glare by adjusting the white point. Just go to Settings->Accessibility->Display and text size/reduce white point. People have set it anywhere from 30-40 with good results.

Greg, a question for you - As a digital artist I sketch with Apps like Pro Create using the iPad to generate fantastic images. How would you do that using the Vision Pro ? I am trying to point out that every device has its own place for utility

That was an awesome review. You are definitely made for this. Thank you young man.

You make some good points too besides the heaviness

Another great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I totally agree in terms of comfort with my vision pro. I have no problem using the solo band, and it is not uncomfortable for me at all. I know not everyone has had this same experience. I also agree about navigating the real world. Thanks for the great review!

Honestly, for what the Vision Pro can do and the amount of tech in it, $4k isn't a bad price. Especially considering headsets like Microsoft Hololens 2 starts off at the same price and offers little or the Varjo XR-3 starts at yearly sub of $6k.

I use my iPad for note taking with the apple pencil. That’s pretty much my entire use of my iPad. So I don’t think the AVP could replace that just yet, but for someone who uses the iPad for consumption and TYPING notes, I could definitely see it being an iPad killer. I’m very excited to see how the OS and product evolves in the coming years and the day when they launch a more budget friendly version. It’s been a while since an apple product has felt this exciting.

can you use a keyboard and mouse with it?

The comfort can also be an issue if the facial gasket wasn't made for the user (i.e. when you share with someone who has a smaller head than you, prob needs a SMALL headstrap, not a medium etc.) - this is prob why most complain about the comfort. It is heavy, but def agree not that heavy where it's unwearable. Also, the dual loop solves a lot of this, but you can also use a 3d printed accessory and 2 default straps to make it EXTREMELY comfortable.

I’ve got the original XReal glasses and I use them daily vs the Quest 2 headset that mostly eats dust on the shelf. 1080p Sony’s micro OLED displays on the XReal glasses project 130 inches crispy clear virtual display. I’m claustrophobic so I prefer open sunglasses form factor and the 75 grams light weight of the XReal glasses. I would love the AVP to be available in this sunglasses style form factor one day. Love creating apps for the AVP though. I created an app for it using the AVP simulator in the XCode. Very pleased with the app development experience.

11:44 - Could you please describe the “lens glare”? I did the Apple-Store demo, and I _think_ I saw some sort of reflection or something at one or two points in that demo. I’m not sure whether I just imagined it though…?

Yes, I am VERY close to getting rid of my iPad with having the Vision Pro. I hardly use it anymore…

I completely agree with your experience. My biggest annoyance has been the lens glare since I like to watch movies in a pitch black room next to my girlfriend at night so I don’t bother her. I’ve gotten used to it, and being in a virtual environment helps. Also, I hope they improve the software to where it doesn’t shut down completely if it can’t see my hands for 2 seconds in a dark room

Try accessibility for the eye tracking I think you might find something

I pretty much agreed with everything in this video. Nice overview!

apple: spatial computing also apple: what's a computer

finally a smart commercial for a youtube video that i don't immediately skip!

19:03 I only use my Mac mini as a headless Mac vnc to my iPad Pro. Vision Pro seems like great solution for my use case. Maybe gen2

I absolutely love my Apple Vision Pro. I don't regret my purchase and I can't wait to see what the future brings next. Enjoy y'all!

Solo knit is the way to go. I find it to be more comfortable. I often confuse why people say it’s impossible to wear for more than 2 hours while I often wear it more than 6 hours with zero discomfort. I guess I get the exactly right size for light seal that sit on my face snugly. For those who are interested to get one, I advise you to scan you face in the store, do not use the Apps.

Thank you Greg. Will patiently watch this product evolve in time while buying a little more Apple stock.

Hi Greg,I think Apple Vision Pro is a great choice,unfortunately too expensive.I wish everyone can afford this one.Im obsessed with this model but I can’t afford it.

Great points! However, I can't entirely agree with ditching my iPad. It wouldn't be a pleasant experience reading, making notes, and highlighting my clinical textbooks with Vision Pro. I'll keep my iPad for those purposes.

Greg it is price. It has not been released in Australia yet, but if it follows the price of other Apple products it will be almost double in Aussie Dollars. That is $7000! That is almost 4 weeks wages. If you are on our minimum Australian wage, that is almost 8 weeks! So no eating, no rent, no power, no internet connection for 8 weeks! There is no doubt this is a technological marvel. I cannot imagine watching videos on this, or multiple screens. How good is that! I had better start an Apple Vision savings account now.

Solo band is great. What helped me the most was raising the back of the band so it balances the weight. Not as heavy as people make it seem.

Great video. The AVP’s “look” is surprisingly…normal. Between snowboarding and skiers in their goggles to FARMERS in their huge, colorful, mirrored sunglasses to block out harmful rays, the AVP’s mirrored front wouldn’t get a second glance, especially in a hoodie. You are so right about regular people are curious. What really disappointed me from regular tech reviewers were the lies of omission. Again, many AR/VR experts and enthusiasts (not gamers) who pointed out the AVP was roughly the same weight and sometimes LESS, are pointing out now the strap that comes with the Quest is cheap and unwearable and it’s 3RD PARTY STRAPS USED ON THE QUEST! Seriously? Not one of our normal tech guys had the decency to say Apple has the most comfortable strap out of the box?

5:38 those other RU-vidrs need to workout their weak necks. 😂

So what if you're in a different location and you open an app that's still at home in your kitchen?

Great video!

How can you claim the solo band is more comfortable than the dual loop band if you haven't tried it?? I thought the same thing after using the solo loop for a few days. After trying the dual loop band I haven't looked back. I can be in the device for hours with no discomfort...none.

You really did an ad of an Xreal on a Vision pro video, huh?

I tried a Vision Pro for 10 days, returned, really miss it so guess what ??? Ordered another and will keep … yeah it’s magical and a profound piece of tech Great review BTW 👍🏻🙏🏻

I want to use vision pro like an iPad for university lectures when it is released in my country. But the memes of people wearing vision pro outside got me too scared to continue considering wearing this thing in public. Your video has calmed down my nerves a bit. I might feel comfortable taking it to a lecture to type notes with. Though I still worry about how I will be able to politely reject people who want to try it on. It costs far to much for me to trust other people with it.

All these titles for apple vision pro videos are so funny lol “the truth” 😁

Great review. Can you comment on the possibility of more than one person using it. I have a wife and grandkids that would all love it. My wife and I both wear glasses with markedly different prescriptions, and my grand kids don’t wear glasses. Much easier to justify if multiple persons can use.

weight and comfort is indeed the most common complaint among users, including myself and all of my friends who bought this thing. 2 hours? I can't even do 30 min. You can express your own opinion or share your own experience, but don't say people are over-exaggerating it

Best review of the AVP

Since the “spaces” are mapped, such as Greg’s Home, Greg’s Office, I could imagine an app that would allow you to invite friends into your home like teleporting there for social or productive purposes. Perhaps that’s where FaceTime is heading to especially once the avatars are full body tracked.

Stop trying to make me buy this when it arrives in the UK lol...... however the video really does cover all the questions I have around this device. Keep them coming

You are the first one that hit every point of my experience Negatives and positives . I didn’t buy it for games. I have the Meta for that.

What a dork! What a great channel and so entertaining and informative!

I was happy to pay $3500 for my Vison Pro, but I’m unlikely to pay what I expect will be much high prices such as $9,000 for the really high end versions down the track. The iPhone also brought out very specced up pricey models years after the first gen.

The original Mac 128K was $2499. That’s more than $5700 in today’s dollars. It was so high priced it almost cost Apple its business. However, in 2024 Apple is worth $3T and can now afford to sell their products at a price that makes them money, even if that price is high. They can now afford to wait it out as technology advances and prices drop. They charged what the cost to make the best possible display with today’s tech. In a few years the price will be $1000 or less. If the Apple Vision Pro, which costs at least $3500 today, was available when the Mac was originally released, it would have cost at least $11,000. Give this product category 10 years. The Vision Pro is a proof of concept and augmented reality will be in the near future, just like graphical interfaces, touch screens, smart phones and smart watches.

Most of the critique here boils down to the price… which will come down, but not soon enough for people. Most people are butt-hurt that $3500 is way out of their “fun stuff” budget. If these were $1499, nobody would be upset, they’d be waiting on their order to arrive.

Snazzy Labs and a few other reviewers disagree with you on the "retina" point. They say you can't see pixels exactly, but you see plenty of smoothed out pixel artifacts and the resolution is far below what you get from looking at real monitors. This seems obvious to me because they are only 4K screens in front of your eyes, which means you have far less than that resolution in an virtual display it can make. Sounds like we're going to need tiny 8K screens in front of our eyes before it could ever really be considered a monitor replacement.

Have fun and when wearing it outside and some asks those googles are. Pause andt say in a panicked voice... you can actually see me??? Then shake your head and walk away.

Greg- People have been talking about the m2 or m3 chip alot... but no one is talking about the R1 chip.. it's a total mystery. PPLLLEEEAAASSEE research it and do a whole video on it. I'm so curious THANKS!!!!

I’m buying I know I should do a demo. But I’m out of country. When I get back to USA in April. I’m picking one up But sadly. I’ve got a taaaaal nose. I’m thinking either this will hurt. Or the FOv will be bad. I’ll know when I get it

Its not an Ipad Killer, they need to allow us to use both devices for different type of tasks in unison like for blender or procreate

Not sure it will replace my iPad as I don’t think I will keep it with me as much as I can take my iPad. It, like other iDevices and Macs, will cross over each other without completely replacing any, well, yet. I’m looking at it personally as I work and live in a truck. TV, monitor, computer…. Escape my 8x8 box.

Definitely not smart to buy a v1 apple product...I've proved that several times before. However, it AVP, I get a superior way to watch movies and as someone whose has spent lots of money on TVs. AV receivers, and speakers+subs, all for that to be tied to a single location, the thought of having a great mobile theater just blows my mind. I'm someone who can take a break during a movie, too, so the notion of sitting through an entire movie is a non-issue. Also, I'm single and live alone, so I don't mine watching alone (and I have my traditional HT for company anyway). So, i'm going forth with this purchase because for me, v1 of AVP offers a lot of value for just $4000+.

Yea I want the x real air glasses

That would be a tremendous upgrade to the remote office.

You give such positive review of your sponsor’s product: Xreal Air 2, but most of the Internet is far less positive. Might you be influenced by the sponsorship? To quote you, “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Otherwise, I enjoyed your Vision Pro part of the review.

if u get a dual solo knit strap mod u could use it for the whole day :P

and xreal will have a model with dual cameras for 6dof tracking ...if apple made that headset with good software that would be some killer glasses ....they r still good tho

Isn’t the pass through quality much better outside or in a well lit room? It seems like many of the complaints about pass through quality may be due to the fact that people are using the Vision Pro in an environment that would be difficult for any camera. That’s why so many RU-vidrs use studio lights after all.

Price is a huge limiting factor. Plus, it only works with other Apple Products. I want something that works well with Microsoft Windows as well.

I’m hoping/expecting that Apple will redesign the Mac Mini so it’s a MacBook without the display. It would make a compelling pairing with the Vision Pro. We’ll see if I’m correct in March.

The goggles looks really silly. They should have teamed up with Disney and made it a helmet. They could have had a whole series, Iron Man, Darth Vader, Mandalorian, Bobo Fett.

While the AVP can do a lot of the things that the meta quest 3 can do as time goes on I think that Apple’s tight Ecosystem will be the differentiator. Meta does not have the ability to dictate what Microsoft does with the OS. Apple does. This means more integration between devices. I see AVP being somewhat like the IPad in the sense that it is great at controlling things on the Mac but now you will be able to control things with devices in the headset. The Mac becomes the brain, it does the heavy lifting while the Vision Pro can be used to speed up using the apps on the mac. One simple example is with any app that has menus of different options. A developer can create controls to execute the menu items and the user can place them anywhere. Instead of diving through menus your eye finds the option you want and execute it.

In conclusion, you are so obsessed with Vision Pro and you live in it now 😆 I think I would be that too if I had it 😭💔

So, uh, an unadvertised ad for XREAL (?)

for anyone saying the AVP is too heavy, never should you ride a motorcycle. the weight of the motorcycle helmet and the force of the wind at highway speeds will break your noodle neck. As for comfort level, the AVP is very comfortable, but not as comfortable as my Forte VFX-1 was.

I think they should bring back smart glasses. People were freaked out that they were being recorded but guess what, headsets record people too! Not to mention that between cctv and nanny cams you’re basically being filmed whenever you leave the house. Glasses are just so much more practical than wearing a giant headset in public

If the biggest problem about a product is its price, than its a product that will definitely be successful when price goes down

Like you my iPad uses gone down a lot

Apple should include an official Vision Pro comb in the box.😆

5:02 Bravo!

If Apple delivers on their patents to put battery cells in the bands, then the external battery will make perfect sense.

Reviewers keep mentioning "Lens Glare" but don't explain or demo what it is. Show us, please!

The 1 few min I was sold already. And not for the apple. Just gonna watch the full video tho

the dual band is way more comfortable, trust me

I also think/hope that not everyone necessarily wants to strap a computer to their face all day long. The idea of a WALL-E like future where people live inside an always on stream of constant entertainment, advertising, emails, social media etc sounds kinda miserable imho. This is insanely impressive tech, but we already have addiction issues with our phones. This feels like the beginning of a very slippery slope.

I gave you a 👍 because, you told the truth. 11:43 ‘’There is a glaring issue with this headset.’’ 😉👌

Still trying to sell them.

3d Printer or the Vision Pro.

Bro it doesn't even have a headphone jack and that is important for me and what I would use it for as I use my Quest 3 as a instrument and to produce music with and I would need to record Into my soundcard and straight to Logic Pro X so it's not good for Music producers compared to what's on the Quest 3 or Fitness and has no games and costs $3500 and I have owned VR Headsets since 2016 and I have Quest 3 amd the Playstation VR2 and you got motion sickness because you never ate food before you used the headset as if you play on a empty stomach you will get motion sickness I have certain games that I can't play on a empty stomach but I can play if I ate before I started to play the game and my Quest 3 has never made me feel sick my Playstation VR2 did when I 1st got it but now a can play all of the games that used to make me feel sick as u never play or use any headset on a empty stomach and the headset won't outsell the Quest 3 or even the PSVR2 which also has a excellent quality screen with OLED and HDR and is also made by Sony who make the screens for Apple and the things the Apple Vision Pro does is not anything completely new the eyes and hand navigation is a feature from the magic leap headsets did you know that 😂 and huawei owns the name Vison and Vison Pro in China so Apple stole the name 😉 lime they stole the technology in their watches ⌚

They’re 5K mini-OLED screens - not 4K

Nothing will have a feeling anymore
