What's Going on with Apple Vision Pro?
In the latest video titled “What’s Going on with Apple Vision Pro?”, viewers are welcomed back to explore the newly launched second-generation Apple Vision Pro, released nearly two years after the original. This cutting-edge device now features the upgraded M5 chip, which enhances performance across the iPad Pro, 14-inch MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro. However, much of the hardware remains unchanged—the design, materials, and sensor technology are similar to the first generation, with critiques of comfort lingering due to its weight.
The most significant improvement lies in the redesigned dual knit band that aims to enhance user comfort by redistributing weight more effectively than the original strap. Despite these upgrades, the overall experience, including display quality and battery life, shows only incremental enhancements, leading to a $3,500 price tag that may deter potential buyers.
Interestingly, as competitors like Samsung introduce their mixed-reality headsets, there remains a scarcity of formidable alternatives for Apple’s premium device. This situation raises questions about the Vision Pro’s future in a market increasingly leaning towards lightweight smart glasses, which offer practical functions with less social stigma. The video suggests that while Apple continues to innovate, the Vision Pro may no longer be the front-runner of mixed reality and instead, the company might pivot towards smart glasses as consumer preferences evolve.
