A ‘$3,500 Chastity Belt’: Early Apple Vision Pro Adopters Alarmed to Learn VR Porn Doesn't Work (www.404media.co)

The general consensus in that thread is that, while the Vision Pro can play "flat" porn videos on sites like PornHub, there is currently not an easy way to play 180 degree side-by-side videos on the Vision Pro, which is how most commercial VR porn is filmed.

The Apple Watch was the same. “But why do I need it?”

In the business we know that greatness comes from iteration and time. Apple doesn’t give a single shit whether this first release is all that and a bag of chips. In fact I think the crazy pricing is deliberate - to set expectations that this is not a mass market device quite yet and it will take some iteration and development to make it great.

I keep seeing “people won’t buy it because it’s too expensive” listed as a con for this device and I’m just like LOL dude that is the whole point.

This is a Tesla Roadster. Expensive as shit and impractical. Also revolutionary technology and the basis for much more in the future.

What are you talking about dude? All I'm asking is one actual task or activity that this thing lets people do that they can't do better through other means.

Hilarious. You sound exactly like people shouting down early smartphones. They can’t do anything better than a computer! They don’t even have physical keyboards!

If early smartphones had stood still, the doubters would have been right, too. But obviously nothing stands still in technology. You have to be very brave or downright stupid to look at the first release of a product and say its entire category will never amount to anything.

Lol all I'm asking for is one with example of that here and you can't do it. All you have is MBA word salad.
