😄 First impressions of Vision Pro headset

The first paragraph summarizes MKBHD's initial impressions of the Vision Pro headset after trying it for the first time. He was very impressed by the crisp, clear displays, phenomenal eye tracking, high build quality and overall immersive experience. He notes it's a bit heavy but calls it an amazing piece of technology.

05:00

😎 Typing methods and speed tests using Vision Pro keyboard

The second paragraph discusses the two methods of typing using the Vision Pro's keyboard - poking at a virtual keyboard and looking at keys then tapping fingers. MKBHD found the second method much faster despite looking crazy. He wants to try typing 100 words per minute using the Vision Pro keyboard.

10:01

👀 Overview of Vision Pro's Eyesight feature for realistic eye contact

The third paragraph provides an overview of the Eyesight feature on the Vision Pro headset which enables realistic eye contact during communication. MKBHD explains how it works but notes the actual visual effect through the headset looks quite silly and unrealistic.

15:05

🎥 Vision Pro's strength lies in media consumption experiences

The fourth paragraph suggests media consumption like watching videos is currently the 'killer app' for the Vision Pro until more apps are developed. MKBHD expects a strong focus on media experiences like Youtube or spatial videos at launch.

20:05

🌄 Discussion of environments and lack of personalization options

The fifth paragraph discusses the new environments available on the Vision Pro like mountain tops in Hawaii. However, MKBHD notes there is a lack of personalization options to set your own environments or backgrounds.

25:06

🤩 Vision Pro seen as an expensive developer-focused toy for now

The sixth paragraph concludes by positioning the Vision Pro as an expensive toy for developers and early adopters. MKBHD expects gen 2 to be lighter, cheaper and more consumer focused.

Keywords

💡Vision Pro

This refers to Apple's new virtual reality (VR) headset that was recently announced and opened for preorders. David and guests tried the Vision Pro headset multiple times and discussed their experiences using it. The video focuses on impressions from their latest demo of the device.

💡eye tracking

The Vision Pro headset has built-in eye tracking capabilities that allow users to simply look at and select UI elements hands-free. David was very impressed with how well the eye tracking worked during his first demo, mentioning how it felt like "magic".

💡environments

The Vision Pro software provides different 3D environments that users can explore, interact with or use as backdrops for media content. David enjoyed the visually impressive environments like the mountain summit in Hawaii. Environments help immerse users and demonstrate the headset's graphics fidelity.

💡spatial audio

This refers to 3D surround sound that makes audio feel like it's coming from different positions around you. David mentioned spatial audio adding realism when watching media in environments like the Hawaiian mountain peak.

💡keyboard

The Vision Pro has an on-screen keyboard for typing. David tested two input methods - poking keys, and select-by-eye-tracking. He felt the eye tracking method was much faster, being able to type website URLs very quickly.

💡Safari

Apple's web browser is available on the Vision Pro, allowing users to browse websites by manipulating on-screen windows. David tried scrolling and pinching-to-zoom in Safari, but didn't find it very compelling as a regular use case compared to media consumption.

💡3D modeling

One of the pro workflows touted for Vision Pro is viewing complex 3D models used for design, architecture etc. David demoed an app showing a highly detailed Formula 1 race car model that could be manipulated and explored from all angles at full scale.

💡heavy

A frequent complaint from David after testing the headset multiple times is how heavy it feels to wear, causing facial discomfort and potential usage fatigue over longer periods. He expects weight to restrict typical session lengths for most consumers.

💡use cases

David discusses ideal and more niche use cases for the Vision Pro given its high cost and weight considerations - primarily media consumption and short interactive sessions. He doesn't believe it suits productive office work or extensive gaming due to wearing discomfort.

💡developer version

David theorizes that the Vision Pro is more of an extremely advanced (and expensive) developer kit rather than a mainstream consumer product. He suspects Apple wants to get headsets in developers' hands first to build killer apps before optimizing hardware for regular users.

Highlights

My first impression was this is the most impressive VR headset I've ever worn. It's incredibly crisp, clear, and immersive.

The eye tracking and hand occlusion are phenomenal. It's like magic.

The build quality is super high. It's a little heavy but this is a phenomenal piece of technology.

The keyboard input method is incredibly slow, but the depth perception is perfect. It feels one-to-one with where your fingers are.

The typing method where you just look at letters and tap is crazy fast. I typed a full URL rapidly by just looking around.

The environments and ambient effects in the headset are amazing. Looking at spatial content feels so immersive.

The weight and fatigue set in fast. After 10-15 minutes I'm ready to take it off because it's so heavy.

It's the heaviest VR headset I'll ever wear. The battery isn't even on it, just the metal and glass.

My favorite use case is sitting back watching a movie, where I don't have to move my neck and the weight doesn't matter.

There are no killer first-party apps yet that justify the $3,500 price tag.

It feels like an expensive toy - fun to try but not something most people will use daily and get $3,500 of value from.

I think this is the developer version they don't want to call a developer version.

The real goal is to get these in developers' and enthusiasts' homes to show friends and family the future of AR/VR.

Gen 2 will be lighter, cheaper, have profiles, and be the true consumer version.

One of the most advanced, magical pieces of tech I've used, but also one that hurts to use.

Transcripts

David and I have tried the Vision Pro a

couple of times now most recently this

week yes this was my fourth time trying

the Vision Pro third time for this is

your third time using the Vision Pro M

this time we got to try some new things

specifically that we've never tried

before notot new things only a couple

new things but some things we were

curious about the keyboard Safari a

couple third party apps the new

headstrap the new head strap so uh all

of this can talk about I just want to

sort of Zoom all the way out to my

fourth impression of of the headset now

yeah which was okay my first impression

genuine first impression and I made a

video All About It which was like 15

minute long was like this is easily the

most impressive VR headset I've ever

worn it is incredibly crisp and clear

very immersive the screens are amazing

the eye tracking is phenomenal it's like

magic uh the selection method when you

just look at something and tap your

finger see together it worked super well

it's super high quality build like this

thing is amazing it's a little heavy but

this is a phenomenal piece of technology

and I can't wait to see what app show

and that demo was around 15 minutes yeah

yeah also can confirm they would not

stop talking about it that trip right

that's exactly how they that's when it

first got announced when we first

checked it out right second time was

like back in New York City I I remember

it being amazing but okay let's put the

thing on again I put it on again like

yeah oh yeah it's still really crisp

it's still really good there's this new

calibration process where you look at

these different dots around the screen

several times and it calibrates your

eyes and now you do the selection thing

again and yeah you do this whole demo

wow the occlusion on my hands is really

good God this thing is really heavy

though it is metal I get why they make

these things out of plastic but you know

aside from that still pretty impressive

piece of

technology third time was me watching

some of my own spatial videos and photos

on the headset right I put the thing on

yep still heavy okay but let's see let's

look at spatial videos and photos and

you know there's a kind of a sweet spot

like 3 to 5et away from the camera where

the spatial effect is really strong and

the 3D is really impressive and so I

kind of learned that got to try some

other apps and look at some big

panoramas which have this Parallax

effect oh yeah but only 10 minutes in

the headset I'm like this thing is heavy

I take it off fourth time I used the

headset which was this past week this

week yeah I you do the fitting again

which is it's kind of like this face ID

process where two scans now two scans

from an iPhone simpler than face ID and

you get the custom fitted headset and

this time they said okay we've got both

straps here which one would you like to

try there's a solo Loop one and then

there's like this dual band one which

puts more of the weight on top of your

head I said let's try the Dual Band one

we put it on top I adjusted the straps

and everything immediately I'm like

Jesus this is a heavy headset this thing

is heavy I've had it on for 12 seconds

this is very heavy okay let's get into

it this time what did we do we we

checked out Safari mhm so we got to

scroll through websites you can pinch in

zoom and move Windows around we got to

use the keyboard type on the keyboard

that was

interesting both the most impressive and

least impressive part to me yeah I'll

explain ready yeah there's two ways to

type on the keyboard first way is you

enter the like URL bar or whatever and a

virtual keyboard pops up and you

literally poke in the air on a virtual

keyboard yeah

there's no feedback but the amazing

thing about this input method even

though it's incredibly slow is that it's

not like like the the the depth of where

the keys are and where you think your

finger is going to be when it's pressing

on the key like often where when you're

using virtual floating keyboards and

other VR headsets and stuff you kind of

like poke through the keys until they

register but this one you look and

you're like okay I'm touching the top of

the key and if you like move your finger

down at all it starts to press the key

down it feels one to one with where your

fingers are even though you can't feel

it even though you can't feel it yeah

but there is like a like reaction to it

rather than just it light up yeah you

see the key moving down I think there

may even be a sound I think so and it's

not it's not a binary where it's like as

soon as you touch it it's like in a

downward position it can Flex like a

regular key on a keyboard it's pretty

sick like it has an actuation Point yeah

on sure yeah but that's only one way to

type yeah the other way you can type is

if you just look at the letter and touch

your fingers together yeah and then look

at the next letter and touch your

fingers together and I typed so fast

with the second method it's crazy did

that give you a headache just like uh I

mean I was trying to typ fast so like I

going a

little on my I was going a little bit

nuts but like I went in cuz in the in

the poking type method you can't you

can't really home row it cuz your

fingers will overlap and it's kind of

not that accurate so you're poking so

it's like m k b h d do c m enter yeah

but with the I typing method I promise

you I said M KB

hd.com enter and it was faster and it

probably would look crazy if you saw my

eyes in the way I was like looking

around the keyboard I want to see a

video of that it was sick I was typing

so fast but honestly the the third and

final way is to just like ask Siri up in

the corner you just look at the

microphone and just start talking and it

just puts that in that's probably the

fastest fastest way to do it I want to

see if I can type 100 words a minute

using the keyboard you cannot no shot

I'm going to I'm going to 0% chance I

will do it no shot by end of year I'm

giving you 60 as a Target and I think

that's really I'll make this a short

yeah is this the new typing test I'm

going to do Mony I'm going to do monkey

type on in spatial in spatial yeah you

can fire up Safari and go right to the

website I'm going to try it that's going

to be the first thing to try so they

also had a section in the appd drawer

this time that was apps made for Vision

Pro yeah and they had the one that they

one of the ones that they showed us was

a 3D modeling type of application where

different companies can like throw

different 3D models to show how stuff

works so they showed a F1 car it showed

a 2023 Alpha Romeo F1 car exploded in

100% scale on the room so I was like

walking around the tire was the size of

a tire the Halo you could pick it up

with your hands and it was the size of

the regular Halo was cool the cool thing

that was interesting about that is you

would look at a part on the car and you

would just move your hand like you would

pinch your hand and move it and

depending on what you were looking at it

would move the part that you wanted to

move that sounds awesome and you could

scale them and look them around and then

there was another section where it

showed like the airflow Dynamics going

over it very realistic 3D modeling and

like architecture and stuff like that

feels like an awesome way for like

client like work and and just the VR

World in they've been doing that with

Vibes for a long yeah yeah I really

think that's the like Prime estate for

it Lucid swore to me that that's how

they reviewed the Interiors of their

cars is by like sitting in the car with

the VR headset I think BMW said they did

the same thing but with the Vive way

back in the day yeah so we got to try

that it looked phenomenal super high

quality very responsive yeah um there

were also some media apps so the Disney

app the Omega capitalism M super super

Disney they had built some experiences

around like okay you want to go to the

you want to go to the Marvel section of

the app well now you'll be on the

Avengers rooftop with the shield next to

you and you'll have like the menu where

it normally is but you're in an

environment that looks like it belongs

there's a Star Wars one too I don't know

if that's also Disney it is right so

there's a Star Wars one where again you

can watch a movie but if you look around

you're not in a theater you're on a

desert Planet Cruiser and Tatooine

exactly so DAV they had built some

things for the Vision Pro experience

that made it feel more native to Vision

Pro instead of just a floating window

likeone who has optimed a sing in their

so cool to see that Tye of um and then

lastly what is oh we got to see eyesight

yes we got to see eyesight it was we got

to see eyesight uh I had a lot of

trouble not laughing at the guy that was

showing it to me it was really difficult

cuz they brought us into a separate room

to talk to a guy that was using eyesight

to be clear I don't think eyesight has

been working on a single other headset

that we've been demoing no I think this

is the one that they do have eyesight

working on I think it's been working but

they've just been hiding it because I

think they are terrified of photos of I

because no notice that they let us take

photos of ourselves wearing the Vision

Pro but not with the eyesight off that

is like explicitly like we are not

showing that to the public because we

don't want people to laugh at it yeah it

was weird they know it looks dumb I it

was like one of the only things I've

ever seen an Apple event get announced

and the whole place started laughing

like that was just not I it did not hit

like they wanted it to theoretically I

think it's it makes at least sense so

yes I agree so like the idea I get but

here's how in person it looks you look

at the person and the rest of their face

is totally clear and they've got the

headset on and then their eyes are like

kind of there but they're really blurry

yeah and so you don't re you're not

really looking at someone's eyes in the

headset I'm sure they think they're

looking into your eyes but you're

looking at a blurry weird look version

of their eyes okay fine when they go

into an environment or look at some

media have a screen in front of or have

you uded yeah instead of showing their

eyes it will show that like purple blue

shimmery thing that we saw in the photos

of us wearing it which makes sense so

now the person looking at the headset

wearer knows they can't see me and if

you're in the headset and you look at

the person through through the window or

whatever for long enough it will create

a little parting in the fog and the

occlusion on the outside with the eyes

will also create a little parting in the

purple fog now it's it's blurry eyes and

purple fog and if they have a window

between them and you there's a

reflection like a blue reflection in the

in their eyes on the headset okay

there's so much small small detail with

this feature I think the whole like like

you have a window and you can have

someone kind of appear through it so

you're not like way too In the Zone by

the way amazing it I I remember when we

they put that at WWDC that's what I said

in the vergecast thing is my favorite

thing they did it a great idea and like

you said everything about eyesight makes

perfect sense just looks so silly crazy

yeah now to top it all off we finish

this demo experience I take the headset

off oh my God it's so heavy it's so it's

the heaviest VR headset you'll ever wear

and that's not just the metal like the

battery isn't even on the headset it's a

cable that's like wrapped around and

behind you in your back pocket just the

metal the glass the second display

there's a lot of compute it's a heavy

headset I and this is why I keep saying

I think my favorite use case of this

still from what I've experienced is

going to be sitting back in a chair

where my head is propped up and watching

a movie on a plane give me the heavy

headphones give me the heavy headset and

I just lean back and then I can watch

the movie and not strain my neck cuz I'm

not moving my neck what's that chair

everyone has for like listening to

records the Herman Miller chair I think

so right do you know that one um my

grandpa that chair that everyone uses to

listen to records with like the foot

stol and the yeah yeah that's going to

turn into the New Vision Pro just lean

back

it I think dentist there's a lot of

reactions to what I was talking about

with the weight online I don't to be

clear I don't think it's a deal breaker

I just think it's you're going to notice

it very quickly and if you look at the

people who have posted photos of

themselves wearing it everyone has one

thing in common is it's pushing down

right on the bone of your cheek like on

right above your cheeks and it's like

pushing you can see it in everyone's

pictures it's pushing them down cuz

that's where most of the weight is

sitting we tried both of the Bands the

solo Loop weirdly to me and again this

is such a fast demo it was more

comfortable for me even though it felt

even heavier I think that's also true

for me and I had the Dual loop on the

Dual head strap on and I tightened the

top and then tighten the back and then

tighten the top and then the back again

and I thought I got it nice and snug but

it was kind of lifting from my cheeks

which made it feel lighter but it was

yeah it was more pressure at the top and

then less of a a light seal at the

bottom so I

preferred the solo Loop band yeah if

that makes sense I think I did too okay

I have a question when you say it's

heavy can I get some sort of comparison

like heavy like absolutely Helmet or

you're wearing m50s right now plastic

headphones no Sony even better classic

lightweight headphones you've

worn uh airpods Max right yes it's that

equivalent difference so if you're not

thinking about it you can wear it for 2

35 minutes and maybe never even notice

and if if the band's right on the top of

your head perfectly and you're just

sitting back listening to music fine but

the second you move your head around or

think about it or start to get that

fatigue it wears way faster than a

lightweight plastic for me I took it off

and my head hurt for a while yeah

there's various levels of people getting

like headaches I had like a light

headache for sure yeah and I wore it for

maybe 20 minutes 20 25 minutes yeah um

my the most interesting thing for me

because today the day that everyone's

watching this and listening to it is the

day that the pre-order is open it is

which in the first batch they apparently

only going to be 60 to 80,000 units for

launch day I think they're going to be

impossible to get I think they fast um

but you really have to be okay with the

fact that that's the case and then the

other thing was that my favorite thing

to do in The Vision Pro was looking at

photos especially like looking at

panoramas cuz like you said there's sort

of like this Parallax effect seeing my

photo is really huge in front of me in

that Fidelity is really amazing um I

even enjoyed like watching the photos

that they had taken of just like people

and stuff oh it was kind of fun to look

at yeah um I don't know if that's a

$3500 use case device and they don't

have any first-party apps that they are

feeling like are a killer application

that people should be spending $3,500 on

this thing for they're really really

really leaning into developers to figure

out why people should by The Vision Pro

because as it stands I do not see apple

with an app that comes with The Vision

Pro that I would say this is worth

buying the vision pro pro for okay

here's my theory you know how every time

you get a new like computer or laptop

from Apple they give you the classic

like demos of okay here's the Final Cut

demo here is the Safar demo here is the

blender demo and you get to see what

they think people will value most about

that computer based on the demos and the

stuff they show with this one I think

the killer app right now is just media

just watching videos photos and videos

Apple TV even going in the browser

watching YouTube videos I really really

hope there's a YouTube app at launch

that lets me watch 360 videos and

regular videos in theater mode and stuff

like that yeah it's the number one most

impressive thing to do on that I don't

really want to spend a while browsing in

Safari on on a Vision Pro same it

doesn't feel that much the idea for like

if I'm going to be in a browser they

have a feature where for you're using

the Vision Pro and you look at your

MacBook screen additional screens will

pop up we didn't get to use that but

they said that that would be a thing in

the launch um so I would probably try

that just having additional monitors

around you but yeah regular browsing in

a Vision Pro like it's not going to be a

laptop replacement for me that also like

that scenario seems to be what VR in

general wants to get to is the like

let's work this into your workflow even

though we only have a two hour battery

life but besides the point of that plug

it to the wall though okay yeah but like

when you said before this the weight

wasn't a deal breaker if you're going

from like the first to the fourth time

you're trying it and every time it being

heavy is getting more and more on your

mind I can't imagine that by the 10th

time you pick it up to put it on your

head and go this is just I don't feel

like using this right now it's going to

be too heavy and putting it right back

down I totally get it I think what it

really does for me is it just restricts

the amount of things that I want to do

with it so if there's a game I really

like and I'm about to pick up the Vision

Pro again I know that there's a fine

item at a time I'm going to be playing

this game yeah if I'm on a plane or if

I'm going to sit down somewhere that

doesn't have a headrest I don't want to

watch a movie I say it as somebody who

like I'm very excited for this to come

in and try it I the only Apple stuff I

use is in the the studio I am not Apple

anything and I still think this thing

looks really cool I would never spend

$3,500 of my own money on it but I can't

wait to try it I think there's a lot of

stuff in it it seems like interactions

are like revolutionary almost but the

weight thing I and like how they want it

to be a work and they they talked about

work stuff a lot there was a lot of

stand at your desk here's a keyboard

here's 3D modeling I just can't with how

much you're already saying how heavy it

is

like it's going to be sitting on their

desk and be like oh I'll use I might I

don't feel like putting that on right

now because it's it's

$3,500 and something that's $3,500 that

you're only going to use for like 5 to

10 minutes every few days the use case

there is not there for most people so

then maybe we can considering it to have

7day battery life if you're never going

to use it for more than like 20 minutes

my battery my theory for the reason why

it's 3500 and everything is they don't

want people to buy it they don't want I

think there's going to be people who are

developers that buy it and they have it

and then when friends come over and

family come over they're like oh that's

the thing let me try it we've all seen

People's First Reactions to VR when they

put on like the Oculus back in the day

it's like magic so that's the experience

that Apple wants for these in people's

homes I agree and I feel like we've been

saying that for a long time like this

feels like the developer version that

they just don't want to say developer

version but there are so many people out

there that are going to buy this that

aren't developers I wonder like why not

make a developer version so you can

actually make sure all the developers

get it and there's going to be a ton of

people who want to develop for this that

it's going to get sold out and they're

not going to get it because they're off

you just don't have the ability to look

at it in the head you're not going to be

able to do it as well if you don't get

to test it the headset I'm sure there

are people out there who can I'm sure

you can still develop for I'm not a

developer but I'm sure if you're

developing for it you would prefer to

have one and there will be people who

don't get it develop in a virtual

environment and like if you're

developing on a phone you just have to

simulate how people will tap your phone

which is pretty easy with a mouse but if

you're doing a whole Vision Pro thing

it's a lot more to

think it's a lot more work um I'll say

one more thing what was I going to say

about Vision Pro I have one more okay um

I also I had someone ask recently like

oh what do you think and I ended up just

summarizing it I summarized it

as it's like a really expensive toy

yes I just thought it's like when we

went to trip F all those cars were

really cool to play and and like Drive

for like 10 minutes but owning one is

justfor that's true that's a great

analogy it's

theer of VR headsets yeah no it's like

if you have the money for it and you

just on a whim decide to get one it's

going to be fun for the once in a while

that you do play a game watch a movie

watch back some spatial videos and it's

just going to be up to whatever apps

show up for the rest of like why people

should actually get this thing yeah

something I really liked from it was the

environments that they had they added a

new environment for this demo that we

had that was uh waka I don't know am I

saying that right I don't know I don't

know I I'm saying that wrong it is the

the top of the tallest mountain in

Hawaii um and it was quite cool because

if you pulled up like a movie or

something and you played the movie you

know how uh companies are releasing

those like back lighting for TVs that

will sort of ambiently play the lighting

behind the TV it like bounces off of the

clouds that are floating below the

mountain so it has this like very

ambient effect there's also um with the

spatial audio you can kind of sort of

hear the wind kind of going like so it

feels like you're watching something the

place and the Fidelity of the rocks and

everything is amazing the interesting

thing is like with a laptop or a phone

you have some customization through a

wallpaper with this they're giving you

environments and then some apps like the

Disney app also can develop their own

environments I don't know whether or not

developers of other apps can develop

their own environments if like notion

wanted you to have a notion environment

or something like that I think so yeah

the bummer for me is there's no

personalization aspect of this device

right like unless you consider the

transparent mode the personalization

your it's your house your house is the

person backr I would assume that's

because the the um amount of information

of like the file you would need to do

that now you someone who could give a

higher enough res well so this is the

thing is that I have these panoramas

that I'm going to like release for

Vision Pro people and you you can it

basically stretches around your entire

scene but I think that Apple wants

people to have their because in the

environments there's like little things

that are moving there's some sound

Scapes I I think they want to be very

intentional on like what kind of space

you're in but the thing is like looking

at my panoram like massive like that

felt so sick that personally I would

prefer to just be in my own environment

that I shot and they like let people

shoot their own panoram like if you went

to the beach with your family and you

wanted that to sort of be your like

wallpaper for Vision Pro it would be

nice to be able to do that yeah it would

the problem is the other side of that

scale where my Mom sorry Mom downloads a

photo from a te an Android text message

and then tries to blast that as the

background and then there's just eight

giant pixels behind the like movie she's

trying to watch so you would actually

need the opposite of a file that too

large you would be like this file is too

small to be mhm yeah it sounds I like to

see that also it sounds a little bit

like the state that Apple watch faces

are in too where there's analogy there's

no reason that third parties couldn't

make them Android Wear that was like

what was the app that Android Weare that

came out right when Android Weare came

out that let you make your own watch

faces oh God I don't God I used to mess

with that so much anyway continue I'm

sorry just that just that like they want

the system of like plugging into all the

different kits and apis and stuff to be

so perfect that they don't even want to

let people give it a try but I I agree

with you David like I think there's

absolutely no reason you couldn't put a

photo of your in and then it go oh

that's a cloud I I have Cloud Dynamics

built in I mean that would be cool too

yeah just the fact that there's not a

lot of customization features is kind of

sad um another thing I asked them if

there were like profiles so if my wife I

don't have a wife but if I did if you

had a vis one um anyway uh wanted to use

my Vision Pro and she could like set up

her own you know eye tracking thing and

I could just hand it to her you can't do

that I just assumed you could yeah I

also did that's why I asked it can only

be connected to one Apple ID um but they

have a guest mode but the annoying thing

is anytime anyone other than the person

who bought the Vision Pro and logged

into their Apple ID wants to use it they

have to recalibrate in the guest mode so

they have to do the whole setup process

again it's about a 90 second but it's

still annoying especially for a device

that you're probably only going to wear

for like a few minutes at a time unless

you're watching a and also profiles just

like there's more to just the

calibration aspect of it like there's

saved there's bookmarks there's all

sorts of different app layouts and like

your home screen not that it might be

something that they add in the future

and I I can't see them not adding that

yeah I mean at least gen two will

definitely have it I think gen two of

this is going to be 20 to 30% lighter

40% cheaper maybe 30% cheaper and we'll

have profiles and we be a lot more

durable it'll be the consumer version

yeah yes this is the uh this is the the

rich developer version yeah and then the

people who just like want to buy first

gen Apple anything which is fair enough

which is way more than it should be

there's a lot yeah it is a lot it is at

least 60 to 80,000 people exactly yeah

well that's you know that's our third

and fourth time trying it I I think when

this actually gets released and we get

to review the thing we're going to have

a lot more answers to the questions we

there's still lots of things we don't

know I don't know if you can screen

record I don't know if there's going to

be controller support for games I don't

know there's lots of things I don't know

about it yet so stay tuned we're going

to keep y'all posted the videos will be

flowing January be January and yeah the

way I think like I would sum this thing

up is one of the most advanced mag

magical pieces of Technology I've ever

used that I'm not sure that I want to

use damn or will hurt to use
