After a closer look at the Apple Vision Pro reviews & talking to people who’ve used it, my prediction of the most likely path is that its evolution resembles the Apple Watch, which went from big, vague promises to a simple health & notifications device. So, a future Vision Air (or whatever) will ditch external eye displays & complexity and mostly be a very large smart display. You can tell any Mac, iPhone, iPad or Apple TV (maybe HomePod!) to extend to this display. That’s the big, basic deal.

(And FaceTime in XR should just use memojis instead of weird creepy avatars.)

The thing to keep in mind is, just as a display alone, the Vision Pro is squarely in the mid-priced range of Apple’s display products.

Also, from 14 years ago, on iPad announcement day.

@anildash That was a very good take.

More now, even, than the 5 year mark.

@anildash my iPad is my favorite device of…all of them. Every gadget, computer, console, everything. My iPad is legit my favorite personal device.

@a11yMel @anildash same. It’s the only computer I actively like

@anildash This aged almost as well as my investment in MySpace. Kudos!

@anildash Nice one, indeed. On a side note, I just realized I still have an A4 humming along in my 2nd gen Apple TV.
