The Vision is a disappointment, in my opinion, only because the software effort was so bizarrely unambitious compared to the hardware effort.

Just the Mac display capability gives it great value. But if they had positioned the Vision as the more powerful cousin of the Mac, in interface and OS, instead of shoehorning iOS into 3D it would be worth the money. And more.

If they shipped with:

• Mx Ultra (for serious spacial, AI, or other significant apps)

• More RAM

• Hot swap batteries, larger sizes, with optionally longer or shorter cables, and daisy-chaining capable.

• Spacial pen, pens, finger tips, or if possible, incredibly precise finger tip tracking. And a fast fingers-writing system.

• Optional keyboard+trackpad slab that looks like the bottom half of a laptop. Doubling as a really big battery pack. Tripling as a port dock.

• Pro user interface: Any number of independent Mac-like windows, but with full spacial components, first-level entities, instead of flat and in a "screen" container. With Pro interaction with just eye + finger tips. And more reliable keyboard + trackpad support.

• Pro development support: Mac-level flexibility and access, enabling serious interfaces, serious development, and serious apps.

• Proper file system, terminal, Xcode, Spaces (savable, swappable contexts), etc.

I would pay $5000 or more for that today.

Cook whiffed on an amazing legacy, worthy of Steve Jobs' successor: A Mac superior device. Instead his legacy: Wasting groundbreaking hardware on another media + toy-app kiosk, service-subscription lanyard. "In 3D!", uh I mean, "It's Spacial!"

In an Apple Store, an employee went on about how the Vision Pro had a star app in the App Store. As they were clearly trained to do. Think about the nearly dystopian tragedy of that. I was waiting to hear it had "Electrolytes".
