Not sure why a CEO is qualified to assess an eye tracking headset, this seems more a job for a Chief Vision Officer to me…

Finally a device that makes a 4090 look affordable

Apple switching to their own silicon is the best thing they’ve ever done.

Also the fact that they are pricing storage upgrades at insane prices

Y’all forgetting that the real innovation is the ability to set multiple timers.

The vision pro uses 3d augmented reality to inflate the size of your wallet when you look at it with pass through cameras, to make you forget how much you paid for it

The fact that the "Hey" is getting removed is probably the best change in iOS 17 for me. Since my native language is Swedish it feels veeery unnatural to say "Hej, Siri" since we don't really talk to each other in that way in Sweden. So to be able to just say "Siri, ring mamma" or "Siri, sätt en timer på 10 minuter" is GREAT!

"Hating Apple is Getting REALLY Hard" Not at all, barely an inconvenience.

How hard can it be to hate on Apple when they released a $1000 monitor stand a few years back

"ignore the price"-Apple, always.

$3500 for 2 hours of battery life is insane indeed.

I've heard it mentioned numerous times: "Starting at $3500" Makes me wonder what the full-featured model is going to cost.

audio ray tracing is just a fancy way to name a convolution reverb which is used in the industry for quite a while

Removing the "Hey" from Siri is actually going to be so annoying because I have a coworker named Siri and we already have so much trouble with phones triggering all over the place

I'm honestly quite suprised that Apple released the Game Porting Toolkit to implement DX12 support. I thought they'd just stubbornly insist on devs re-coding for Metal. However, this seems to not benefit iOS, which still makes OpenGL the only API that ever workes on all platforms and makes me think Apple hasn't yet fully committed to trying to make life easier for game developers on their platform, but this was something I never thought they would do at all. On top of that, I feel like I hear more about Vulkan than I do DX12 these days and Vulkan has the potential to work literally everywhere, including all modern consoles, so I think Apple would be short-sighted to not do something similar for Vulkan (or just natively support it), but maybe now that's not an impossible outcome?

You guys should do a portable display round up, including top brands & Amazon randoms.

23 million pixels on a OLED screen that small is insane honestly. the pixel density is crazy high. The price is also absurd, but damn that's impressive

Not sure about competition, but Apple sure knows how to demolish your wallet.

I'm really surprised that they didn't put the computer part of the headset on your hip as well. Reducing the weight of the headset would help, and it already has an external component anyway. Plus it would make it easier to upgrade the computer part rather than replacing the entire headset.

They acquired the startup VRVANA in 2017 which already had 12ms latency video passthrough. Surprising they couldn't make it better in 6 years.

Apple: Please support Metal! Game Developers: Please support Vulkan and OpenGL

>"Hating Apple is Getting REALLY Hard" >shows the $3499 pricetag in the first 5 seconds linus are you ok

Linus for 9 minutes tries to explain that cheese grater that costs like a car makes sense because the one before it was just a little cheaper

Unlike a tv or stereo where you can enjoy the experience with multiple people at once, you will owners a apple vision for everyone in the family. That $3,500 price tag starts to very quickly multiply. With all that I still want one.

Comparing to the last generation instead of the competition is a sure way to make their new chips look faster.

The labs team definitely has their work cut out for them verifying all of apples claims!

MacBook Air 15 inch is a huge thing imo. Up until now, you had to pay a huge price to go up to 15 inch because they only offered MacBook Pros. To have a relatively cheap 15 inch laptop, my prediction is it will sell really well

If this thing isn't entirely vaporware, but is a legitimate laptop/desktop replacement able to function as a standalone workstation, then the $3,500 price point isn't entirely outrageous. Though I expect it to have some serious shortcomings in its first iteration, like the first iPhone. Could very likely kick ass by the third or fourth version.

So much wonderful things they launched in the iPad update. I hope they add a calculator app next year

Linus’s best joke is that $12k is enough for a house down payment! 😂

Apparently there's a rumor hololens 3 is coming. They're waiting for any reason to announce it or some sort of tech that could make the jump from 2 to 3 worth upgrading. The vision pro could be that reason.

The Vision Pro unit looks cool for watching movies, but I wear glasses, so in addition to the $3500 US price, I have to get custom lenses for it. :O

Only Apple would be happy to claim a selling point is that their device will work all day if it's plugged into a dedicated power source IE the wall plug.

It's really hard to ignore the price. And up to 2 hours of battery life.

I lovvvvveeee the push into VR/AR it’s simply my favorite piece of tech and I am already a VR adapter but… how good will all this be for our eyes??? 👀

The Mac Pro can use GPUs in its PCIe expansion slots. But the GPU developer has to create the DRIVERS for them.

Can't wait for the $1000 head band that you have to buy for the Vision Pro

Very hard to hate on a company trashing right to repair this hard. Truly one of the companies ever.

I wonder if the headset has the capability for hot swapping the battery or if you have to power down if you want to do that.

Thanks for the summary. Great video!

the headset is impressive but thats because it costs $3400 while most other companies are trying to make headsets the consumer can actually buy around $400 - 600

6:29 I think Apple is getting nervous about game devs not porting to Mac and instead porting to Linux, thanks to the Steam Deck.

I’d consider buying it if I didn’t know that next years or maybe the year after that we’ll get the vision Pro 2 and it will make this one completely obsolete. When iPhone first came out, whenever a new one came the following year it made the old one seem terrible. Now iPhone only has incremental changes each year and I’ve personally felt no need to upgrade for the last 5 years. But with this headset just starting, the second one will make this look like a bloated dinasour. I’ll wait a few years and see how it goes. Also the lack of controllers and ability to play VR games is a big red flag for me

I looked for an app on Google cardboard that basically just allowed the phones desktop to be viewed and use apps as a solution to working on the go. Would have been great to remote into main machine on the train and have a 60" screen to edit on. Rather than a small screen on a laptop. But sadly Google never thought about productivity.

I think the crazy part is people were worried about Google glass with one camera. Apple said hold my beer.....

Gotta admit, apple knows their audience, saying you can replace your TV with a VR headset, they know you are watching alone. **I feel dumb having to spell this out, but when I say "their audience", I'm referring to the people excited about the product, their target demographic, not everyone with an apple product. Apparently that required clarifying.

5:45 i dont remember linus ever mentioning the price of pci-e cards and monitor when talking about desktop PCs or workstations, but weird enough it needs mentioning when it’s a mac.

imagine how hot the headset gets with the m2 ultra (burn your face off)

Linus, you forgot the most impressive spec on the vision pro. It features all-day use when plugged in. I hope one day all my electronics will have such a feature that it needs to be explicitly stated.

For a long time, the biggest hurdle for VR headset massadoption was the price tag. i don't know who is going to pay for these headsets, groundbreaking as they are.

Depending on screen quality, I think it could be an interesting choice for a monitor. Your desk could then just consist of a keyboard and mouse.

What about designing Vision Lite (a light weight virtual display unit like eye glass spectacles) connected to Macmini & Mac Studio through Thunderbolt 4 or Luna Display like built-in wireless technology

"Replace your tv, monitor and sound system" for $3500 u can get a good tv, monitor and sound system and actually do stuff with them for more than 2 hours AND u don't even need to attach a wire to your head, its truly a miracle of science.

Considering that Siri is fairly common name in Norway it will be interesting to see how that is dealt with, if at all.

Did they announce a calculator app for the ipad?? That would be a great thing to have!

Yay! more timers! And that fancy journaling app? iPhone! Who doesn't want to journal on a touchscreen keyboard?

No, hating Apple is still really easy. Just need to look at the repair prices when you need to fix your device two years after buying it, and see that they basically charge you the cost of a new device while doing everything in their power to prevent independent repair shops from being able to fix it at all (let alone at a competitive price). Pretty obvious they're using every trick in the book to have you replacing the ludicrously expensive devices you buy from them as often as possible.

Yes, all competition in the $3500 AR headset market is totally destroyed.

I think that the thing about apple sillicon is that since ti's unified memory if you get the higher memory options then you can end up using a insane amount of memory along with your gpu so it has that benefit.

Please do a comparising between the big beyond and the pro vision ✌🏼

I was super excited… and then reality finally kicked in when they announced the $3500 pricetag. Guess I'll stick to playing with it in the stores.

It would be helpful for the LTT labs team to rationalise what Apple mean by their use of 'cores' as terminology for their SoC. Because for the consumer, they're looking at '76 cores' from apple and trying to reconcile that against the 5 figure counts of compute/rt/tensor cores on dedicated graphics cards 🤔

With eye tracking im just imagining typing with swipe settings making a message by holding a finger up or down and being able to make text out of nothing but looking and an on/off motion

I remember this thought experiment in Philosophy. Comparing two cars, one is the ideal you don't have against an old Trabant. The former is better than the latter in every way, but you can't get in it and drive down to the store. Love to see them trying new things, but I can build a good gaming PC, buy a Quest for wireless VR, buy a Valve index headset and controllers, and pay my mortgage for the month.

For that price you could get a valve index, and have enough money to spare for a 4090, and a computer to put it in

I feel like the AR goggles are more of an experiment to see what type of interest there is in it

Imagine a front roll seat with multiple 4K120HDR cameras stitched together for a 360º point of view of one of the best seats watching the match live. The feed would be done of the whole thing. And every user would access a portion of the feed accordingly to their head movement. This could give millions of people front seat experience for a fraction of the cost and wouldn't be the same but it would still be an AMAZING experience compared to a TV. Same would go for motor sport. Imagine 360º views from helmet of the drivers, multiple seats on the track, drones, helicopters, etc. The possibilities are AMAZING! That is the type of VR I want. AR will only be good enough for ne when you don't need passthrough, just a transparent screen on a pair of normal glasses.

I bet they are going to test new technology and sensors on the vr platform for a while with the idea for some of the tech to trickle down and downsize to the iPhones and watches

The vision looks super tempting to a solo liver, but if the average customer is just using it for tv, you would have to buy one for EVERY person who wanted to watch alongside you. This will not be replacing tvs anytime soon

Imagine the repair bill on the vision pro if anything goes wrong. Micro-led tech is not cheap and I am guessing that the repair procedure on one of those is not going to be easy, especially if most of the internal components are soldered down. Given the track record on pro devices being 1 year warranty, that's a very hard sell.

4:06 Says "It's doing all of this wirelessly" while panning to a picture of a wire sticking out of someone's head.

The vision pro ad before the vid seems well placed😂

You could deploy a fleet of Meta Quest 2s for the price of one headset. I get that it's more advanced... but wow that price is massive. Napkin math says that's almost the same as what I paid for two desktops, tv, 2 monitors, Oculus Rift S, M1 Air, my phone (not my partners phone we did just run out of budget for that) and 5.1 surround system that supplies all the entertainment in our apt.

I thought the main reason Microsoft wasn't targeting consumers with Hololens was cause the price point of $3500 was too high. Guess this means we'll see Hololens 3 sometime soon

When they manage to reduce the size to contact lens,then I'll be interested.

One small tidbit that everyone seems to be missing with augmented reality headsets is the industrial space. The ability for an on site technician to have a live feed going to a technical support engineer where you have experts with all sorts of resources, knowledge and diagrams, being able to feed info directly to the technician, live, in real time. My company is testing this out where say I'm working on a piece of equipment, and the ability for the support engineer to be able to highlight parts and relay schematics to me in real time, allowing me to see exactly what I need to repair equipment, makes both of our jobs easier. Also it speeds up equipment recovery time which means lower cost and more happiness to the customer. Honestly I could see even see companies going a step further as the technology matures and the ability to generate 3D models of the equipment in VR, and then overlay them with the reality becomes a thing. Like you cant see a connector you're looking for, and you can just have it highlight in the 3D virtual space thats overlayed with the physical tool. I even see AR as a means to have multiple users on the same piece of equipment, as they all link into the equipment, but based on their purpose they are displayed different software. An operator might see a simple screen to operate the equipment while the technician sees the diagnostics menu and a product engineer might see development interfaces, all while not needing any physical screen at the tool. Just walk up to it, hit connect (in the virtual space) and it logs you in with your headset credentials and gives you what you're supposed to have. And with lots of industrial environments having huge conflicts of intellectual property, moving it all to personalized headsets would drastically reduce issues. The only thing I'm worried about is the long term effects on your eyes of wearing it constantly. How badly are VR and AR headsets going to hurt your eyes. Will we see increases in migraines, will we see more people losing vision. How will they compensate for people with glasses, I can't wear contacts. Prescription headset lenses?

I always wondered what the distinctly weird undertones of the sims community was about and the fact that it's one of the few games available on Mac clarifies a lot

How i feel when people regard $3500 as mildly expensive, can't even be put in words.

I’m surprised they went with microLED; it’s very expensive but it makes it seem like its a good deal since theres two displays for two eyes It’s not as expensive as i would of thought but would of preferred a m2 max or ultra for the SOC; i wonder if they are gonna gimp you for RAM or storage

For its specs it’s surprisingly cheaper than leading headsets

I’m happy with Apple returning to their roots, making overpriced products and reinvesting into RND, while we get to reap the benefits of their competitors response in the next couple years.

The Vision Pro is extremely impressive. So impressive in fact, that I have my doubts if all really works so well in the real world... We'll see when the first units hit Tech UKpostsrs and the market

The Vision Pro is actually a very advanced View-Master 😄

The hilarious thing about the AR glasses is that Apple expects people to remain tethered to a power source at all times. This is always the problem with AR' needing to wear literally a suit of lithium battery packs just to get a decent days' use out of them.

Impressive stuff but it's only for industry and the rich at that price. The good thing is it will hopefully drive competitors to build better but cheaper devices moving forward, which is great for everyone.

At 3500$, the Vision Pro is impossible to justify, unless you're rich.

The only people more out of their minds than Apple, are the people buying Apple products.

How do the goggles access local storage? Mounted network drives? Or something faster? Do we get the same terminal (as MacOS) in VisionOS? Is VisionOS an upgrade to MacOS or to iPadOS?

The price tag makes it really easy

This is dystopian. Hating Apple is easier than ever.

I chill on my 12 inch ipad pro pretty hard. Its all business but i do have youtube and the streamings on it and it definitely is great for chilling

What I would love to have is the Vision Pro that I can run from a MacBook or MacPro and have it as an external display. Having it stand alone is awesome, but I would just like to have my normal desktop setup with the windows being positioned freely in 3D space. I tried building something for my HTC Vive but that one lacks the pixels to make text readable and a comfortable level. Since I run some apps that are not MacOS/iOS apps it's probably not going to fit my use case, nonetheless I think it's impressive if it works as mentioned.

Whenever I am tempted to go back to Apple, I remember the words ‘planned obsolescence’ and ‘soldered CPUs’.

Apple Hotel: $50000 per night

I was really hoping we’d get maybe some Alder lake/Raptor lake or new generation AMD Epyc or threadripper style Mac Pro revision…..But nope. We just get some device that can’t be upgraded by ourselves, and can only use other PCIE related devices. Even though the maximum configuration of the Mac Pro is far less than the maximum for the older version with Xeon processors, it’s kinda dumb we lose that good part of the Mac Pro. I mean…. That amazing case, along with a 4090 would’ve been neat.

Future iterations should see miniaturization - remember the early bag cell phones?

Shocked you didn't mention the massive issue with the Macbook Air 15". The £1,300 base config still only comes with 8gb ram, and 256gb ssd. And it is £200 to upgrade to 16gb and £200 to get to 512gb ssd. I mean, in what world is that an acceptable baseline or upgrade cost? When 32gb of the fastest ddr5 is under £150 and a 2tb Sabrant Rocket 4 Plus nvme is under £150. For the £1,300 you should be getting 16gb ram and 512gb ssd as standard.

Can't wait for all that new personal data generated by the headset to be used for totally legitimate reasons that keep them private.

For the Vision Pro, what about wireless (cellular) support? Does it have eSIM? 5G?

What about ​designing Macmini & Mac Studio with built-in R1 & M2 chips, connected through thunderbolt 4 to Vision lite (having camera array and LIDAR sensor
