The Apple Vision solves no problems, like the Apple Watch, they are just toys.

I disagree that the watch is just a toy. If it were, I never would've bought one. The only reason I got an Apple Watch is because Fitbit stopped selling the pendant pedometer, and if I was going to have to wear a watch, it might as well be integrated tightly with my phone.

For me, the Apple Watch is primarily a fitness device. That's almost the only reason I have it. I don't want to wear a watch. I don't load any music, podcasts, or almost any apps on it. I use it to track my activity and compare my daily health with past trends. That's like 95% of what I use it for. I even keep theater mode turned on 24x7 because I almost never look at it to check the time.

I also use it to tell Siri "set a timer" and "turn of the bedroom light... turn off the BEDROOM LIGHT... TURN OFF THE BEDROOM LIGHT."

Whatever you posted this reply with is just a silly worthless toy. No, I will not elaborate

Silly and worthless is your own editorializing. And unlike Vision Pro or Apple Watch, the toy I posted this comment with can write and publish software. Or host a website. Gasp, install real browser engines!

Calling the Vision Pro a "toy" is a generosity for something that isn't fun or seriously intended for use by children. The Quest is a toy, the Vision Pro is a black eye for moneyed adults that lack responsible impulse control when they're marketed something shiny.

You call the Vision Pro "not fun", as if your own personal opinion constituted fact. You also characterize the buyers of the Vision Pro as "lacking impulse control when they're marketed something funny", which is not only belittling and condescending, but also an utterly unwarranted generalization.
