  Apple Vision Pro - The Future is what we well you it is  or not ?

 So no doubt you've seen this monstrously doing the rounds.  The video is beautifully crafted yes;  almost too well crafted.   Count the number of times they show the power cord in the renders ? :) -   Forget the inconvenience for a second, but the last thing they want people asking practical questions like what's the battery life like ?  - How many recharge cycles before it degrades ??    Turns out has about two hours of up time.     Which is poor, terrible in fact for $3499(us) (Over 5000 Australian on current exchange rates) base price dollar device, which we all that means you'll pay tens of thousands for the spec'ed up version.    

 It looks very nice,  Apple do design esthetics really well.  Internally it's powered Apple M2 and R1 processors with 4K resolution for each eye running a custom OS.   You can interact with the desktop  via eye tracking / hand gestures  and voice commands.   There's a virtual keyboard, but you can pair it with your Apple laptop also.  Which seems like a better solution for many early adopters.


 While watching the presentation I couldn't help having some basic questions about the practically

 * Battery Life  

         --- 2 hour isn't enough to watch a movie on a flight,  and airlines will most likely ban their use anyway.   You'd be carrying a battery pack around with you, seems like something a person could exploit.  

 * Productivity users needs a laptop ?

 * The cost $3499(us).

         --- They make the analogy that the glasses replace a bunch of home entertain gear.    TV/ Sound & Game System..  So where's the 'games' ?  at least the traditional devices can be shared.        

         ---  How may families could afford to pay for a solid state device that isn't upgradable for each member of the family ?    

          --- If you have more than one Apple Vision Is it even possible to watch the same content together in unison ?


 * They only should concept renders in video..    

  The whole VR / AR concept just feels like companies throwing poop at the wall until it sticks at this point.
