Only 150+ apps have been designed specifically for Apple's Vision Pro, so far | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

I left the headline like the original, but I see this as a massive win for Apple. The device is ridiculously expensive, isn't even on sale yet and already has 150 apps specifically designed for that.

If Google did this, it wouldn't even get 150 dedicated apps even years after launch (and the guaranteed demise of it) and even if it was something super cheap like being made of fucking cardboard.

This is something that as an Android user I envy a lot from the Apple ecosystem.

Apple: this is a new feature => devs implement them in their apps the very next day even if it launches officially in 6 months.

Google: this is a new feature => devs ignore it, apps start to support it after 5-6 Android versions

I feel like I’m the only person in this room feeling like it’s kinda dystopian! Do you really want to see those devices become the norm?

With the father filming his children and all that shit we saw in the ad? Let’s live in the present, not through the camera of a device made by mega-corporation.

Can you view that ad somewhere online? I'd love to see it (to understand better how Apple is marketing this thing)

Thank you!!

I don't really see the "Apple portrays people outside wearing the headset" that was mentioned here though. The only example given of that is on a plane which is a time where most people prefer to socially distance themselves from their fellow passengers anyway.

When he watches memories of his children instead of being in the moment and playing with them lol

Ah but I had a feeling about this that his kids were already grown up and gone.

But indeed, when it was purportedly recorded he wouldn't have been playing with them, good point.
