Part 2 of Karl Guttag’s series of articles on his thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro is now up on his site.

He discusses the possible issues with the AVP this time around from a hardware perspective. If you’d like to get a thoughtful perspective on all the various factors that you might want to consider when trying to decide if AVP is for you or not, you might want to give the articles a read and so that you can make your own mind up instead of relying purely on hype, or how excited others are about it 😛

@f he comes across like an overbearing dad that criticizes his son instead of just being proud of his achievements.

@dubdub That might be accurate for a child, but for a product, especially a product that costs a lot of money, I am not really interested in people telling me how awesome it is because they used it for a bit 😛 I’ve already used AR/VR headsets and am interested in the product because I see the potential.

I want to know what can go wrong and what I should look out for so that I can make an initial assessment without having to plunk down the money.

If you want posts on how awesome the AVP is, I’m sure you can find them all over the place 🙂

@f @dubdub how about just try out yourself when it’s available?

@unknown8bit @f I'm with liz

@unknown8bit The trouble with that is that not all of us live in the US 😛 Plus, the issues that Karl talks about are long-term ones. How do you suggest that you test for those? Buy a $3,500 device that might actually create health issues after a few months of use?

Sure, if you love Apple and want to use Vision Pro, that’s totally your call. But some of us would rather be informed than simply go for the hype.

Saying that’s “criticism” and not “encouragement” isn’t very helpful either, especially since all you had to do was disregard the “criticism” if you didn’t like it …
