@ismh I talk a little bit about it here but I really needed this to be a multipurpose device to justify its price — the absolute best entertainment experience and a killer productivity device. I don’t feel like it satisfied either any better than my old-world devices could.

I don't really use my iPad — I always end up grabbing my laptop from the other room — so I'm *super* not the target market for a really expensive face iPad. hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/111

@ismh It's also just really lonely. Sometimes my boyfriend will come over and we’ll just work on our laptops silently. Not really connecting but it's nice to be in each other's company. But when I dawn my Vision Pro, that element of company disappears.

I can't show him something on my screen, he knows I can fade him out and disappear into Mount Hood at any point, and Eyesight is such a write-off that it might as well not exist.

@samhenrigold I think all of that is totally fair.

@ismh All of that said, I can see myself re-buying it when the visionOS 2 beta drops in June if it follows the same trajectory that watchOS did in the early years. But I'm very excited to see what the next few major OS releases hold and how they'll play with new hardware versions. I'm sure I'll keep buying and returning them until there's something compelling enough to keep.
