Apple Vision Pro, officially went on sale last night!
At 9 p.m., only 5 minutes after the sale began, the server was crowded. The pre-sale is half an hour, and the physical store is sold out directly.
The last time Apple caught the world's attention was in 2007, when the first iPhone hit the market.
Seventeen years on, Apple has been looking for the "next iPhone", will the Vision Pro be the product that will open a new chapter?
If the iPhone opened the door to mobile computing, now, the Vision Pro is likely to lead us into a new era of spatial computing.
In terms of configuration, Apple gave three specifications: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, with prices of $3,499 (about 25,000 yuan), $3,699 (about 26,000 yuan), and $3,899 (about 28,000 yuan) respectively.
A picture stream introduction
Although the Vision Pro is currently only sold in the United States, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm, and it has been connected to two Weibo hot searches in the early hours of the morning.
The domestic "scalper price" was also directly speculated to 40,000 yuan, and the highest was 90,000 yuan.
Someone has even sold 4 units.
Netizens have posted orders
Approaching the pre-sale time, some netizens are ready to go, and several devices are ready to fight for speed.
Quick netizens have already received a confirmation email.
Under Cook's Twitter, enthusiastic fans said they had placed orders.
"Can't wait to try this space computer!"
Some people don't have enough money, so they simply take out a loan to buy it.
The loyal fruit fan said that in 1984, when he was still in college, he spent all his savings to buy an original Macintosh. And it was the best decision I ever made, because it directly changed the trajectory of my life.
And this morning, the first thing he did was order the Vision Pro, hoping it would spark that magic again.
"I'm already in tears...... Can't wait to get my one on February 2nd. 」
"Matrix is really here!"
At the same time, many netizens on Weibo said that they had grabbed the first batch of debuts on February 2!
However, before making a purchase, Apple will perform two face scans to determine the most suitable hood size.
And this level is not so easy!
Vision Pro产线大
As pre-orders began, Cook released this video showing how a Vision Pro is made.
The official teaching is here!
At the same time, Apple also sent an official 9-minute demonstration to teach you how to use the Vision Pro.
For example, you can pinch the bottom right corner and drag it to zoom in on the photo.
When viewing the "Space" video, you can even move your body to watch it from different angles, as if you are there.
When you're immersed, just turn your head to the person you're talking to, and you'll be able to see and communicate instantly.
In terms of productivity, you can not only experience a large workspace directly on the Vision Pro.
What's more, it can also turn your computer's monitor into a giant screen in an instant.
Opening the door to spatial computing?
Remember last June, when Cook announced the exciting "One More Thing". For this day, the entire Apple team has been planning for 7 years.
As Cook said, this will usher in the era of spatial computing, which shows how much Vision Pro means to everyone.
The Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced consumer electronic device ever made. Its revolutionary and magical user interface will redefine the way we connect, create, and explore.
Now, the long-awaited fans can finally wait for the official pre-sale day.
This "spatial computing" headset is equipped with a 4K display that allows users to switch between VR and AR freely through the watch face.
In addition to Apple's previous-generation M2 chip, the Vision Pro is also equipped with a specially customized R1 processor, as well as 16GB of unified memory.
And with the new visionOS operating system, users can operate with just their eyes, hands or voice.
So, where is the core competitiveness of the Vision Pro? Apple has not yet made an obvious statement, but has described the headset as a productivity tool and entertainment device.
However, the revolutionary significance of the Vision Pro lies in the fact that it connects all of Apple's products and displays them in space.
As previously demonstrated, it can project the Mac's screen directly in the air, like a portable monitor for multitasking.
At the same time, apps, photos, and videos on iPhone and iPad can also be viewed at will.
And the immersive streaming and gaming experience is full of anticipation!
While most people think it's a VR or AR headset, Apple prefers it to be called a space computer.
The maintenance fee is up to 2399 dollars
Of course, this $3,500 device is not cheap to repair at all.
Replacing the front glass panel alone can cost $799, or up to $2,399 if it's damaged for other reasons.
However, for those who have purchased AppleCare+, it will only cost $299.
The screen is great, the immersion is full, and the eye tracking is magical, but it's just too heavy
In recent days, there have been people on the Internet who have been testing and experiencing it.
At present, the biggest problem that has been exposed is that the headset is too heavy, which is a headache.
After all, the weight of the Vision Pro host has already reached 600-650g, and that's not counting the 353g external battery.
Marques Brownlee, a well-known foreign technology blogger, once complained that Vision Pro is good at everything, but it is too heavy.
Wearing it for the first time: the display is fantastic, the eye tracking is magical, futuristic, but too heavy.
The second time I put it on: it was very immersive, and the spatial video experience was good and bad, but it was really too heavy.
Put it on for the third time: the typing experience is great, and there are some cool apps, but it's just too heavy......
In addition, Engadget's reporter Cherlynn Low complained that after just five minutes, she began to "feel pain", and within 15 minutes, she "started to feel overwhelmed by the equipment".
Victoria Song of The Verge said that by the end of the 30-minute presentation, she had "started to feel the weight of the headset" and then felt a slight headache.
In fact, it has been predicted that weight will become the most significant problem plaguing the Vision Pro.
Previously, after hearing everyone's feedback, Apple has changed the single strap of the head to a double strap, but as the wearing time increases, it will still make many users feel a headache.
In order to equip themselves with sufficient head strength, netizens have started targeted training in the gym.
Some netizens said that after wearing Apple Vision Pro 24 hours a day for a week, I am like this.
A neck injury after wearing the Vision Pro is shown in the picture below right.
Since you can't change the weight of the Vision Pro, change yourself.
Some people suggest simply wearing a Vision Pro, holding a heavy object in your hand, using an app to work out, and using magic to defeat magic.
A reporter from The Verge wrote that it took him half an hour to find that the Vision Pro is not significantly different from VR headsets such as the Meta Quest, but the design and fabric headband will appear more "fruity".
And once you put it on, it feels like "it's sitting on your head."
Eye tracking is fast and accurate, and when you move your gaze to a menu item, it is immediately highlighted.
She said that although she had seen other people's reviews before, she realized how crazy it was when she really experienced it herself.
So, will the Vision Pro be the next revolutionary device at the iPhone level?
I believe that soon, we will have an answer.
