I miss the equivalent of Steve Jobs demonstrating the first iPhone on stage for the Vision Pro. I would like someone from Apple to showcase the compelling use cases of the Vision Pro, preferably those enabled by third-party apps. I feel like most, if not all, of the material we have seen so far appears too staged.

This is coming from someone who has tried the hardware. I do not doubt that the hardware is incredible. However, I miss an answer as to why I should spend a fortune on this hardware.

@simonbs what if the issue is that even Apple people don’t feel comfortable wearing it in public?

@simonbs Yeah! Even the Apple Watch got a proper Keynote for the launch reveal.

@simonbs Thats the issue imo, they don’t know the compelling use case themselves

@simonbs I’m with you here. The iMac and MacBook Pro spec bumps got an event in October, but this gets a press release?

I think it mostly weirds me out because I feel like they didn’t actually show us the product at WWDC, that was more of a vibes video.

@simonbs Apple needs to convince me the platform is worth spending dev time.

@simonbs @cdf1982 Better a PR than stimulating demand that cannot be fulfilled. They just need to ignite a small fire right now.

@simonbs this is the most v1 of v1 products ever.

@simonbs Totally agree. If nothing else, I thought they'd have more partnerships or content lined up. Something like “we worked with these sports leagues so you can feel like you're really there at a game" etc.
