Durability issues
Okay recently we've gotten a ton of good
News about Apple's Vision Pro headset
Some other stuff too through recording
leaks stuff straight from Apple and I
want to go over all of that today
There's so much crazy stuff to jump into
Let's start with the durability of this
thing looks pretty crazy right It's made
out of entire fabric for the head
strap aluminum and glass and while that
looks nice and I didn't
Stop and think about what would
happen if you bumped into something like
a wall with this product or maybe you
accidentally dropped this three-thousand
five hundred dollar headset you would
hope it will survive right well
According to a new report Apple
themselves have had some
concerns about the durability and that
one not only the glass on the front
scratch pretty easily due to
The super unique conserved manufacturing
process but it also is incredibly
delicate as in people have been walking
around with these and they crack
relatively easily when you bump into
something now because Apple is aware
that it could be somewhat fragile they
are going to put warnings in the
software that tells you if you're getting
too close to something but I just can't
Imagine dropping three bands on this and
Then you bump into
wall shattered I guess Apple's gonna
sell AppleCare for this is another way
to alleviate things and hey third
New 3rd-party accessories
Parties like hastily have already
announced some crazy accessories like
bounce to make sure it doesn't crack
When it drops I think the third
party accessory Market is going to go
Wild on top of this stuff
We've seen from case defy the caviar
luxury brand has announced that they've
got a multi tens of thousands of dollars
The gold version that you can buy of this
Now before moving on with the rest of
The video I want to tell you about
Today's sponsor which is the insta360
Flow This is an AI-powered smartphone
stabilizer and it is unlike anything
I've never seen I mean first of all it's
a killer smartphone gimbal with this AI
tracking that blows my mind it
has something called a person
re-identification so using the Insta360
flow someone can walk out of frame or
become obfuscated by another person and
the smartphone will still remember them
when they walk back into the frame and
Center them and make them look perfect in the
Always on track makes shooting with
The flow is so much fun because you're
thoughts look so clean but that's
just the start of the flow
because on the inside there's a built-in
tripod as well as this tripod's legs extend
You need no additional Hardware
whatsoever and now you can set up and
shoot in any location by yourself and
Then on top of everything else you can
Also just pull to extend the Insta 360
flow use it as a taller tripod or it
doubles as a selfie stick for shooting
Like I said at the beginning here I've
never seen a smartphone stabilizer like
This is so check them out link down below
Thanks to Insta360 for sponsoring now
Let's get back to it nonetheless if
Why it'll be hard to get
you're thinking about buying Apple's
Vision Pro headset a lot of people have
laughed at the price because it is
insane thirty-five hundred dollars say
Nobody is going to touch this product
But I don't think that's going
to be the case I think this is going to
be in very high demand I think it's
going to be an especially high demand
Considering how few of these apples is
able to make we've heard recently in a
number of reports that Apple has been
having a really hard time in early
production due to the complex nature of
engineering this and while the
production numbers in the first year
started in millions they would then
have to about 500 000 then we went down
to three or four hundred thousand and
Some Apple suppliers are saying that
Oppo has only ordered enough parts for
about a hundred and fifty thousand of
these in the first year which 150 000
seems like a lot until you remember that
Apple sells tens of millions of iPhones
every year and of course you could argue
The Vision Pro is more expensive but I
Personally am guessing this product is
going to be super back ordered and
super hard to get your hands on
How to buy Vision Pro
especially because we've also learned
Recently how you're going to order this
It's going to be sold only on apple.com
in the US initially and then once you
put in your order it sounds
like you'll be setting up an in-store
appointment at the Apple store to get it
fitted properly because this is
something that I think I and others
missed in the initial unveil there are
multiple sizes of headbands multiple
sizes of the light seal that presses
right up against your face and apple
knows that that will not be a one-size
fits all so they've got a custom iPhone
apps and other measures to make sure it
fits you right and it sounds like a lot
of this is going gonna happen very
one-on-one with an Apple Store employee
that like helps you through the process
which you know I guess it's kind of cool
that you get some special service when
you're dropping that much cash and if
special appointments and fittings for
This first-gen Apple product sounds
familiar then just look back at the
Apple watch in 2015 when Apple employed
The same strategy for that first
Global rollout revealed
gen product and again initially this is
only going to be in the United States
but according to reports Apple is
planning to expand to the UK and Canada
as the first markets outside of the us
sometime later in 2024 and then Asia and
The rest of Europe will be following
Maybe late 2024 or early 2025. moving on
New battery details
From that, the battery pack was one of
The most controversial decisions that
Apple made you've got a wire going down
from your head to this battery pack and
For me, it's cool because I have shorts
on so you just kind of put it in your
pocket and then it'll run up your
body right but um what if you don't have
a pocket like what if you're wearing a
dress or you have a hijab on or you just
don't have some kind of pantaloon with a
pocket where do you put the battery well
Apple is working with
Third-party accessory makers to develop
some kind of shoulder strap accessory so
It would like to rest
around there on your back and I gotta
say this this is starting to get a
Little drank a little fast I think it's
It is going to be one of those things that folks
Don't think about it until they're in the
situation and then it's like where do I
Where do I put this kind of large
battery back and I know again the third
party accessory Market will have
options for this maybe it could go on
the back of the headset to sort of
counterweight it and sit there but
shoulders is what Apple's thinking maybe
Maybe they do knees and toes next
head shoulders knees and toes
I think it's a great song for the record
Leaked top strap
but no matter how you look at it this
The battery pack is going to be clunky in
some way similar to the headset itself
not being as light as we thought and a
number of people that wore it
for that 30-minute press demo saying
that it was uncomfortable even during
that short period and just like
Some of the other Vision Pro challenges
Apple also has somewhat of a solution
for this as well and that is this
The optional top strap that was only shown
off in a single part of the keynote that
A lot of people do not realize is
somewhat Central to The Vision
Pro experience while it looks cool when
It only goes around your head at the top
The strap helps with the weight of a
lot and as it turns out that top strap
might be sold separately it will be an
additional purchase on top of 3 500 on
top of your prescription lenses on top
of additional battery packs, it's just
not fair man and well initially I
thought Apple was being somewhat
deceptive by not being super open about
the presence of maybe needing this top
strap for many users it seems like they
We're just doing it because the
The design has not been finalized
We've heard that Apple is still actively
working on this part of the headset as
well as working on quite a bit of other
parts as well as the front-facing display
The eyesight feature that shows users
eyes and facial expressions that
is still not all the way there which is
why you didn't see many demos of that
New features revealed
working even Mike Rockwell who is the
head of vision Pro's development said
that everything that Apple has shown is
just a sneak peek at what this device
is eventually going to be and that's not
Apple talk there's a lot of
features that Apple is working on day in
day out that might not ship with the version
one but will be coming in the future
software update or to the vision 2.
According to this new article from the
information starting with workouts and
Exercise Apple didn't talk about that at
All where Meta and others have really
leaned into fitness Apple found their
stride with Fitness in the watch they
They didn't talk about that at all which
's weird right Apple just didn't think
About it no of course Apple thought
about and they're working on a lot here
Apple has been exploring a partnership
with Nike here to bring more Fitness
content to the headset they're working
on a more breathable sweat sweat-resistant face
cushions that would be you know made for
working out and sweating they're
experimenting with being on a stationary
bike essentially making the Vision Pro a
Peloton for anyone on any kind of a
stationary bike as well as a Tai Chi app
because there's a specific downward-facing
cameras that could see your chest and
your breathing to help you learn how to
Do that second big thing here was gaming
Apple barely talked about it I was
shocked as this is like the main
application of VR globally right now
Where are the Apple immersive games the
answer here is two things Number one
developers only got access to Vision Pro
to make apps for it in games you know a
a couple of weeks ago so it's going to
Take time for them to develop those out
but number two it's because Apple took a
unique approach there are no controllers
With this, these are the controllers you
Tap pinch and zoom very naturally
and while that works great for
apps of productivity it sounds like it's
not as precise as Apple needs right now
for gaming so for Gen 1 that's not the
focus third here Sports being able to
sit Court sighted games or ice-sided
hockey or field-sided football as it
turns out that streaming all of that 3D
Content with no latency is incredibly
challenging and while reviewers got a
very brief demo of sitting courtside at
an NBA game and Apple is actively
working on it again at a larger scale
getting all of that to feel perfect in a
the way that Apple would want to
launch it like they weren't ready to
show the world that yet the fourth and
The final big feature that I think will
ultimately be the game changer for this
product is a feature called co-presence
That essentially will let you feel like
You are in the same room talking to
Someone we saw on FaceTime it's a bit
dumbed down the avatars are not like
full body Apple's working on full-body
tracking they're working on co-presence
where it will feel like we're in the
same room together you know I can film
my videos in Apple 3D it would feel real
Again that's something they're working
on
It's not there so they're not going to
Show something that's going to be in the
first gen product guaranteed when it's
not done these are all things that are
coming to Vision Pro and that certainly
Make the 3 500 price tag not as sweet as
It will be in a couple of months or
years down the road 3 500 is just the
Cheaper Vision rumors
start as we all guessed guess what it is
Apple has not only confirmed this
themselves by changing the title of the
Apple Vision Pro Development Group to
The vision products group products Apple
what does that mean there's only one
Apple Vision Pro it's of course because
Not only is a follow-up to The Vision
Pro already in the works at Apple
They're also working on a cheaper
version It's just called Apple vision
And the cheaper version is
coming out in late 2025 maybe early
2026 it's going to be roughly half the
price and of course it's not going to
have as insane displays as insane
speakers as insane of a front display
It's going to be dumbed down a bit in price
tag on that one I bet is going to be
around two grand instead of 3 500 so
Not cheap right But
Certainly not as expensive as this
version and by then a lot of additional
features like co-presence Fitness gaming
sports Courtside those will be there but
Confirmed release date
for right now we've still got the 3 500
Vision Pro is what's on deck and
Apple has emphasized many times many
members of the press in early 2024. usually
They say that and they they keep it
pretty loose like the Apple watch they
said early 2015 it was going to come out
And it came out in April or May I think
It's going to be February or March maybe
Even January like Apple has been very
very on the nose about early they
Keep saying that which implies it's not
going to be at the very end which means
We could have like five or six
comes out of course I'll have so much
content on it because this is like one
of the coolest things I've ever thought of
course I'm buying it and yeah let me
know your thoughts about this product
You know a month and a half two months
Almost after its unveiling, you've
changed it where you're a hater you know
you love it and vice versa you're gonna get
it now you're not let me know Down Below
