Transcripts
hello and welcome to this is Austin has
made the dumbest decision of his life
it's not even top 20 my dude the Apple
Vision Pro is among us there is a lot to
talk about we recording this of course
before Vision Pro has gone on sale
officially so it's going to go on sale
on the 2nd of February but there's a
whole lot more information we have
there's a lot more controversy because
of course there is if you watched our
Tech predictions video I think it's one
of the coolest things that's been out in
a long time yeah and zero people zero
those are the amount of people who
should be buying this I think it has
cool applications for like businesses
but like for an individual no I think
it's really dumb you can't even watch
the mega vid on a full battery charge
luckily there's at least a YouTube app
for that right oh no oh the big
controversy is that there's not going to
be any apps you know you want to go and
watch your I don't have Netflix I don't
even know what's on Netflix anymore the
last time I watched Netflix was Orange
is the New Black so
2013 yeah I haven't had Netflix in a
long time you're missing up my dude what
are you over here on like Paramount Plus
or something yeah I'm watching a lot of
Star Trek you're peacock I Yeah by
default every iPad app will run on the
Vision Pro unless the developer Ops out
I think most apps will run fine because
you can just run an iPad app sort of in
like Window mode you can kind of like
float around and stuff like it will be
fine so the big ones that have been
announced is Netflix said nope we're not
bringing our stuff to to The Vision Pro
also Spotify is like you know what we're
also not going to do that you just paid
$3,500 for a device and the whole
selling point of it is spatial audio
spatial video yep and here's like the
two biggest platforms for media
consumption the only one who's actually
said yeah we're in on this is Disney Tik
Tok also is making a dedicated app which
makes sense cuz Tik Tok runs on quite
literally a TI 86 so I guess my thought
here is that just to give a little bit
of sort of you know Devil's Advocate to
this if you're YouTube if you're Spotify
if you're Netflix are you going to
enable your iPad app which may or may
not be a good experience or are you just
going to hang tight and wait for people
to actually buy the vision Pro if it
works in the browser honestly it's
probably good enough experience that
like doesn't matter that much because
the estimated sales are somewhere
between like 780 to 180,000 compared to
the 100 gajillion iPhones they sell the
billion iPhones yeah it's nothing you
need people to be like yo this is
amazing the question about the apps I
think is a real one because there are a
number of apps that are being custom
designed for Apple Vision Pro but I
think until we spend more time with it I
want to actually just say for the record
that my assumption here is that having
safari windows that you can fly
everywhere else is going to be largely
the same experience as having an iPad
app that you can fly all all over the
room I just don't think agree with you
on that but I get this is what I'm
saying though to spend
$3500 to have that experience is stupid
sure and look like no one should buy
this until it is a gamechanging
experience Apple doesn't care about
other apps they only care about their
ecosystem all you're getting now is a
fancy floating display which you can get
for way cheaper with like inreal glasses
there's way way way way cheaper options
than this the whole selling point to a
$3500 Vision Pro is that it has the
spatial video all this like you know the
the AR sauce built in which if you're
just on the browser is not going to have
any of that it's the same user
experience on the iPad versus on the
vision which is fine for like if it was
like a one-off but the fact that the
majority of the apps that people using
don't support this it's been reported by
pretty much anyone who's used it this
thing weighs a ton and is not
comfortable to wear around your head all
day the thing is there are certainly
compromises with this first gen Vision
Pro and I think you've probably heard
them many many times the fact that it is
very heavy and and it has an external
battery pack so it is heavier than the
quest and you've got to have some big
chungus battery Bank in your pocket like
battery only lasts for less than a movie
a lot of companies are going to look and
be like okay well we'll wait until
people actually buy this you always have
the dumb Apple people who are like I'm
going to buy anything they put out here
in the first wave and I have not seen a
single person who bought this that
wasn't a content creator if everyone's
experience is like oh yeah this was like
fine whatever because none of these apps
that I use work for it is that going to
get people to want to buy it then right
now the only cool thing people are going
to be able to say about it with like
with the secret sauce of the the spatial
everything is Disney showing like ESPN
with like a basketball game and like oh
we could watch it like Courtside or
whatever if people start buying it yeah
obviously developers will develop for of
course they will how long before Disney
sees people aren't buying it and stop
throwing money at it it won't be so
first of all Apple have committed this
to be spatial Computing is like their
next wave if nothing else because they
want to pump their stock price up
because sort of like their next sort of
wave and they also have a metric
buttload of cash to burn on this thing
they could sell almost none of these
things and they're going to spend 5
years minimum more developing this how
many billions of dollars has Apple spent
to get to this point right Apple going
to force this thing through even if this
first thing literally sucks they're
going to make this thing at least
moderately successful through sheer
force of well and piles which is how
they do things Apple are filled with
very talented people Apple have a lot of
money engineering resources and sort of
willpower to make their next major
product right so that alone is enough to
say that it's a fairly safe bet that
while Vision Pro gen one has some
problems that's the whole thing is this
this this whole device is Half Baked
right now I'll give them credit for
actually coming out with an M2 on there
why is the division Pro if this is like
their Baseline whatever I think the the
debate inside Apple was that they have
clearly spent years and years and years
and years to develop this as a product
they clearly know where they want to go
I'm sure they have a 10-year road map of
what this thing could look like where
it's going to be built in glasses and
blah blah blah blah blah right but like
that's going to take a little bit I
think what happened was Apple looking
and go look we've got this thing that's
like 75% there remember when the Apple
watch first came out remember how they
tried to pitch that is like there's
going to be all these apps and stuff and
that all like fell by the wayside
because people realize oh I actually
want this for fitness and all these
other things right do any does anyone
use the apps on watch no I actually
believe that this is not a bad decision
right because they want this vision of
spatial Computing to be a reality and to
make that a thing they do need to put it
out in the wild like I truly believe
that they need to ship this thing let
people actually try it find the use
cases for it and then that can kind of
dictate where it goes from there the
iPhone didn't have a bunch of amazing
apps on day one the Mac was a very
different platform when they first
released it versus what people were able
to develop the same way they went and
got Kojima and said like all right Let's
do let's do like death standing or
whatever they don't want this to be a
gaming device largely because I don't
think anyone can justify spending that
much money like they have to sell as
like hey this is a for your Mac this is
a replacement for your monitor right now
it's not a replacement for anything it's
same argument we iPad now an iPad is a
much easier pill to swallow because it's
a couple hundred bucks I mean it could
be expensive say a little more that you
you could get you could get a a Basse
iPad for you know 250 whatever and
that's like okay that's a good companion
piece to your your Mac go buy a Mac
Studio for 2 Grand and instead of buying
the the uh Apple uh display so instead
of spending $1,600 on this amazing
display
spend
$3500 and use this headset that is
uncomfortable to wear as your display a
lot of my arguments would be moot if
this was something that was comfortable
to wear on your head sure and like not
everyone has gone through F1 training
like you have everyone says like I don't
want to wear this for for a while if
you're going to argue that this is a
productivity workflow thing it's got to
be comfortable it's got to be
comfortable none of the individual
arguments are enough to say like I agree
that like at some point you got to you
got to pull the trigger and and push it
out there's a compromised at every
aspect of this and that's my problem
with it but look at a fundamental level
what gets me excited about this so I've
spent time with the quest 3 and I like
the quest 3 quite a lot it is a major
step up from the quest and it's
comfortable to wear motion sickness
aside for some people I never did the
quest 3 but even just the Quest 2 I have
an app that just simulates an 80s
basement if I play like an a retro game
I play it in the Retro basement I can
wear that quest for hours at a time and
it's fine and actually has enough
battery to at least last like close to 3
hours usually I will say not to spoil
things too much but I am actually going
to be making a video testing the limits
of that um uh longevity so make sure to
subscribe to the main Channel and
Ringling that dingling button but it's
just one of those things where we can
speculate all we want there's a lot of
ways this could Go's a l purchasing is
is speculating whether you'll like it or
not I'm going to invest in this $3,500
product hoping that it is useful for me
hoping that it continues to improve and
hoping that I actually find that there's
some real use there I agree with with
you actually I think that 90% of people
who are thinking about a Vision Pro
should not get it I think that there
will be use cases that we are maybe not
even thinking about right now which
would be very useful if this Vision Pro
is as clear and crisp as far as the
image quality and the pass through and
the actual like spatial video Blah Blah
Blah all this kind of stuff I think that
it will probably be a very decent
experience out the gate but the real
test for me with Vision Pro is going to
be what happens 12 months from now when
we've seen sort of what this thing
begins to form into and certainly it'll
be very interesting to see when they
ship generation 2 of vision whether it's
another version of the pro whether it's
a plastic version that loses the sort of
the screen on the front which is dumb
the screen is dumb it looks
terrifying well you're just afraid of
human contact thank you very much for
watching make sure to subscribe to the
channel and wringling the dingling
button otherwise Matt will put a Vision
Pro on and stare at you through those
cold dark dead eyes recreated through
the magic of Siri to wistfully ask for
you to take a nap with him and watch
over for carefully as Timmy cook
silently drains your debit
