So, Apple’s shiny new Vision Pro might look like a futuristic dream come true, but let’s be real: it’s more like waking up from a nap to find your alarm didn’t go off.
In his latest roast, Ben Thompson nails it—after witnessing the first live NBA broadcast on the Vision Pro, all he could think was, ‘Why am I watching this like it’s 1985?’ Instead of an immersive, courtside view where you can hear the echo of sneakers on the hardwood, we’re bouncing back and forth between camera angles like it’s a game of ping pong!
Seriously, who needs a scoreboard right in front of their virtual face? I’d rather soak in the atmosphere and listen to the crowd chant ‘DEFENSE!’ while I stuff my face with nachos—virtual or otherwise. Apple, you’ve developed a device that screams ‘ultimate sports experience’ yet seem to think we want to see a glorified TV broadcast of the game instead. Just… stop!
So, my fellow tech aficionados, if you’re hoping to experience this new frontier, hold your horses—or in this case, hold your headset. Until Apple gets it right, I can’t recommend the Vision Pro more than I can recommend going to a karaoke bar with a broken microphone. Also, how about a quick question: What would your dream use case be for the Vision Pro? Let’s dream big, even if Apple’s still snoozing.
