The fact that you cannot connect this to an HDMI device will be the death for this.

Now they are hostages of Netflix, YouTube or any content owner. Had they have HDMI in, we would be able to just use a Roku stick to project 4k hdr Netflix content, or straight up project an 8k resolution Mac desktop.

If people wanted a headset for HDMI content, they wouldn’t be spending thousands on a Vision Pro.

This feels like a case of “it doesn’t match my requirements and therefore nobody else should want it either”.

Vision Pro just isn’t for you.

Apple owns Apple TV, Apple Music, and probably some secret service they're cooking specific to 3D cinema. I think they're fine.
