    Funny. I like the platform a little more every day.

    But I’m sure there were plenty of morons who thought there’d be something magical about it that the first version could never be. It’s awesome. But I was prepared for it to be a huge letdown.

    That I didn’t realize the lenses were shipping separately and didn’t have them for the first hour of use, fucking up the eye tracking, really did a great job of disappointing me at first. Once I inserted the lenses, it became excellent. And, as I said, I like it better every day.

      They tried a new product that they have never used before, they decided they didn’t like it enough to pay thousands of dollars, so they returned it. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do if you ask me. How are they morons?

      Personally I’m typing this comment on an ordinary LCD display that far higher “pixels per degree” than Apple Vision Pro. It’s not even close, like more than double as many pixels per degree… Which means using the headset would be a significant step down in display quality for me.

      Sure - for 3D content Vision Pro would be vastly superior, but I almost never work with 3D content. I just want to read (and write) text. Vision Pro clearly isn’t a product for me until it has higher resolution displays and a wider field of view and that’s perfectly fine, I can wait for that day. For other people it’s less clear wether or not it’s a good product for them and I think those people should absolutely try it out to see if it works instead of trying to guess having never used one. And if they don’t like it, return it. That’s what return policies are for.

      I was an early adopter for the Samsung Galay Fold. I loved it, but my sweat Appearently is too strong for the plastic screen, so it started to melt, tough up and deform by normal usage. I got warranty for it, let it fix it and then sold it to get a cheap iPhone.
