The general consensus in that thread is that, while the Vision Pro can play “flat” porn videos on sites like PornHub, there is currently not an easy way to play 180 degree side-by-side videos on the Vision Pro, which is how most commercial VR porn is filmed.

    Anything with any meaningful amount of text at all is completely unusable on any other headset. And there already are a decent number of AR apps, because Apple has already been making AR development extremely accessible with ARKit, in addition to partnering on a bunch of content.

    Apple is one of the biggest companies on the planet with their strategy of democratizing app development then getting out of the way. The iOS market blows Android out of the water because Apple makes excellent tooling available, then lets developers do their thing. Developers are just getting the devices now and developing apps for it now.

    As for pricing, their pricing is insanely aggressive for the tech in it. You’re not getting comparable on the display for much less, before the passthrough, before the full laptop power chip, etc. This isn’t Facebook’s shitty little toy that they only sold at a loss to spy on you. It’s an early adopter/ devkit so the ecosystem is built out when making something functional at a mass market price is within the realm of possibility.

      Text is illegible on other headsets? Apple democratizing app development? What planet are you on??

      Oh I get it now. You’re either trolling, or are some kind of apple shill.

      But even if everything you said was true, it still doesn’t mean it makes sense for anyone to buy apple’s VR headset right now. Except for maybe the developers you were talking about, but if Devs are the only ones buying it, who are they developing apps for?

      Also if you still think the iOS market “blows Android out of the Water” then you’re still living in 2007, bud

        Yes, actual substantial amounts of text on other headsets is dogshit because the resolution sucks. You can’t get close on resolution without spending almost as much on a dumb display as Apple’s entire package.

        Yes, the number of single individuals and small teams actually making money on app development is far higher through iOS than anywhere else. You can’t make money on Android at all. Consequentially, today (not in 2007), the play store is still a fucking dumpster fire with a terrible library. Big platforms do both, sometimes. Small devs don’t.
