The last time Apple introduced a new general purpose computing device was the iPad, 14 years ago.

This one just doesn’t feel as big. When the iPad was introduced, everyone was shocked by the very low price and the sleek form factor compared to previous Windows tablet devices.

Those are exactly the weak points of the Vision Pro: it’s very expensive and very heavy, according to reports.

The hands-on sessions that Apple gave to journalists earlier this week seemed a bit underwhelming. The reporter for the Verge wrote that it feels like the Quest, but with higher resolution.

That’s a worrying sign! Imagine if the first hands-on of the iPhone had been “it’s like a BlackBerry but with better DPI screen.”

Of course Apple is usually very good at consistently evolving their platforms. Maybe the non-Pro model will be something else.
