Seamless and effective.

OK, take two. I launched this with only two options and got (justifiably) yelled at. I thought that Dark was going to win going away, but apparently it's close enough to be interesting. So, please boost and let’s take a wider sample.

Ben’s comment on Sharp Tech that Apple is likely to lock down Vision Pro like iPad while allowing Mac openness to be accessible through the Mac’s presence within the space— rings exactly right.

@gruber

Hopefully not with regard to the allowable business models - that stunted iPad’s usefulness.

Half of me says “that ship has sailed” and the other half hopes that Apple execs learned a lesson and have a different _vision_

@gme airplanes too!

@siracusa @gruber

There is an accessibility story with the Vision Pro…
Example:
I work much of the time lying down (spine issues) the Vision Pro would likely radically improve my work environment …

Cheers

@gruber

Ben mentioned he felt it would become the new Mac… do you feel the same?
