so, it's out. Ania said she was tempted to get a return ticket from Estonia to New York, in order to buy one of those new devices made by Apple.
-
The Apple Vision Pro looks like a true cyberpunk cyberdeck, something you can use without a physical keyboard and mouse
and that's so interesting .... - she said. And she is not the only one saying that.
and precisely here, is where Ania and I just don't consider it the same way.
Sure New York is beautiful, but why would I spend so much money?
And the time to stand in a loooooong-queue and get up early in the morning to get my seat as close as possible to the Apple Shop doors?
It sounds crazy for me, especially because in order to buy one you need $4,000 and a US bank account.
(you can order online, but you cannot pay with with bank-money transfer if your bank account is not located in the US)
Plus, trouble checking in at the airport, because the box is not "small".
And it's so crazy heavy! It's
NOT ergonimic, and this is a
serious problem!
Apple knows it, journalists (well, Youtubers ... ) know it, no one has been able to say anything to date, even due to NSA agreements
But! This is a
serious problem, because it's not a device which is supposed to be weared for a couple of hours.
It's a VR-Pro device, where "pro" means "professional", as you should use it non-stop for 8-10 hours as a replacement for a desktop computer.
Otherwise it doesn't make any sense, and doesn't justify the high price.
But, actually, facts are that it makes both your neck and eyes annoyed after 45 minutes.
There are a lot of things I don't like.
Look at it. You see nobody in the "industrial design division! is not even following
J.Ive's directives:
be minimalistic, if you don't need something (meaning, a mechanism, a cable, ...), it must be invisible. Hide it!.
But, what the bloody hell are those orange wires that you see on the strap that holds the device on your head?
You don't need to see them, why are exposed there? And all the sensors that are in sight? Why?
And why the battery connector is that way? when they developed much better connectors in the past.
And why do you need a second strap on the top of your head?
Because it's not ergonimic, and metal and glass makes it too heavy!
Also, there are no applications, and, worse still, some devs are not willing to develop anything.
So ... for me, what Apple is doing is "testing people with the minimal financial investiment", just to see if there is enough interest
