@davemark WarnerCrocker@mastodon.social On the "all diehard Apple fans will all own a Vision Pro eventually". As an Apple fan with an Apple office and household, with technology I always ask the question, "why do I need this?".

- iPod, the answer was that I could take all of my music with me on travel - that was good.
- cell phone, it would be good in emergencies.
- smart phone, now there's access to the internet and more information
- iWatch, no need to carry a cell phone for calls and texting.

As the versions evolved capabilities got better and new features were added. All good.

On the Vision Pro, clearly one can see obvious potential benefits for specific uses, such as training and maintenance. But outside of specific use cases, Apple fans like me are asking, why do I need this?

Like much of technology, there will probably be some set of features that answers the question of need, and, that overcomes the hefty purchase price and the inconvenience of wearing the device. I'm open.
