Apple's CEO Tim Cook has not answered the billion-dollar question about his latest gadget.

Thanks for the 10,000 steps a day and for FaceTime,Thanks for the darling iPhone that’s mine,But I’m a guy with only so much time,Thanks a lot, but no thanks.

It supports fully immersive virtual reality as well as augmented reality, which places computer-generated objects over your view of the actual world. It can create a hyper-realistic 3D avatar while using FaceTime, and it’s partnered with Disney so you can use it to watch movies. The iPhone has revolutionized and disrupted our lives. It keeps us entertained, connected, distracted and disconnected — from each other. I heard alarm bells when I read a positive review by Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of the Verge. But she also described the Vision Pro VR experience as “oddly lonely.”1. It costs $3,500. That’s double the median monthly mortgage payment in the U.S., and it would put a roof over your head for 1.5 months as a renter. The median annual wage in the U.S.

4. I don’t want to toggle between the real world and the virtual world. I want to be in the real world. I don’t want to see the world through rose-colored glasses or a VR headset, I want the world to be rose-colored. More people with their heads stuck in devices is not a good thing. 7. Personal tech harvests data from their customers and, while Silicon Valley companies repeatedly say they aggregate data and aim to protect your privacy, I don’t want any more personal tech in my house. That includes VR headsets and smart speakers.

10. Reviewers noted that glasses wearers — that’s me — require a prescription check for lenses made by Zeiss. They will be sold separately when the product is launched in 2024. So see that $3,500, sorry $3,499, price tag as a baseline price. I see more add-ons to come.Apple’s CEO AAPL Tim Cook has not answered the billion-dollar question: why do I need it? It can do a host of cool stuff — and I don’t doubt it — but I don’t believe it will improve my quality of life.
