To me, this seems like a big misstep for Apple. Granted I’m no fanboy, but I’ve appreciated Apple’s design and products over the last few decades. This to me just seems half baked. And that’s not something I expected from Apple’s hardware. I personally don’t think I’ll ever wear a computer on my face for more than 30 minutes at a time. Even if the weight goes down dramatically, it’s just not a convenient experience. The last thing I need with my technology is more inconvenience.
How it’s getting tied into the broader ecosystem feels very forced, too.
Advertising the ability to take spatial video from an iPhone months before the Vision Pro launched definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

Usually Apple’s tie-ins feel additive — I’m not given a product that feels like it’s missing a feature if I don’t own another Apple device. When I buy additional product types, I feel like I gain the missing features. Seems like that changed with Spatial Video. You get to stare at a reminder that you don’t own the headset every time you take video.
I don’t like that.
