One use case this would immediately solve for me. Is travel.

When I travel I'm usually in an airbnb, hotel room or temporary rented apartment for months at a time.

Usually I may not even have a desk or a tiny one in the corner.

Having the ability to increase my area of productivity via this device from a 14"/16" laptop. Intrigues me quite a bit.

However, the current weight factor and fov (rumoured 100deg) puts me off right now.

Should apple do something similar (or another competitor) like the big screen beyond and 210 deg (starvr) with a much later iteration. The value proposition for me would make it an instant purchase.

I'm more than happy to sit this round out. But the new product segment is something that I and probably many people are interested in. I know Apple will innovate and more importantly push the whole industry forward. I'm watching and waiting with interest!

I agree. Granted it's out of my price range for the time being, but a device to make a plane more bearable while giving me a screen that doesn't require craning my neck on the other side would be a huge deal.

Even for travel, most people travel in groups, even those who live alone or with non-friends. So, media consumption while traveling is even less likely to be happening alone (except on the plane) than at home.

I'm not saying your own use-case is invalid. But it doesn't sound like a good strategy for Apple.

> Even for travel, most people travel in groups

For ordinary travellers, sure.

But there is a lot of business travel where people are flying just for a day or two for sales meetings etc. And given they power frequent flyer programs clearly there are a lot of them.

Having done many such flights I would much rather a Vision Pro than a cheap LCD hotel room TV.
