I wish more people pointed out the obvious when the Vision Pro hype was everywhere on HN.

Hmm.

To me, the wild part is the Vision Pro has the hardware to be something people could potentially use daily, especially with the new M4 update. Someone might prefer working in a virtual space rather than on a physical display depending on their situation.

But it seems high cost, the walled garden, and inability to compute directly on the headset limits its appeal. It needs a Mac tethered to it despite its powerful SoC.

M5. And it’s still uncomfortable to wear for most people.
