Vision Pro’s Path to Success: Smaller Size and Lower Price Needed

I’m diving into this whole Apple Vision Pro thing, and let me tell you, it’s like trying to wrap your head around a wild piece of tech sorcery. Okay, so Apple threw us this bombshell, painting it as "tomorrow’s technology, today." Bold, right? And honestly, it kinda is. You pop this thing on and it’s like, wow, smooth as butter. It’s like they took simplicity, dusted it off, and gave it a shiny new helmet.

But here’s the kicker: it’s a monster. Like, big, clunky — and your wallet will feel it. Most folks? Probably gonna be a hard pass right now. But hang on a sec, because this headset’s front-row seat to the future shouldn’t be shrugged off as a dud. It’s like saying your high-end sports car is a fail because it isn’t as, uh, pedestrian as the neighbor’s Honda.

Now, on sales figures, I’m in the dark, honestly. But what’s clear is that this bad boy does some amazing things. Just a bit too big for its britches, and way too much for most budgets. Now, imagine the same magic in a sleeker package that doesn’t scream “look at me!” at your bank account. You with me? Yeah, that could be a game-changer.

Anyway, I stumbled upon a picture of a potential Vision Pro Lite or whatever — looks promising. And hypothetically, if they shaved off some heft and stuck with an external battery, could we be looking at, what, around 310 grams? A pipe dream? Maybe, or maybe not. See, Bigscreen Beyond is kinda a whisper at 180 grams, so the tech’s got room to wiggle.

Price-wise, slashing costs means going down to around $1,750. Still steep, ain’t it? But if Apple markets it as the best darn TV you’ll own, it might just fly. I know, I know, obvious thoughts are obvious. But hear me out: for Vision Pro, less could literally mean more. I’m thinking a leaner, thriftier model would tap into its UX magic; something that would leave Quest clunking behind, honestly.

Flip this to a slimmer, budget-friendly version, and it’s not just nice — it’s revolutionizing. Though, let’s remind ourselves, this ain’t just waving a magic wand. There’s the thought that some fancy hardware elements make Vision Pro shine. But I’m telling you, the software mojo paves the way here. Even Quest’s got more pixels in places, but Vision looks better — crazy, right?

Now, in the dream version, let’s fast forward to Vision Pro’s sequel: clearer passthrough, motion blur dialed down, and snappier software. Apple’s set the bar, but the real question is, can they fit it all into a neat little box half the size and price? Waiting on you, Apple.
