When does Apple even make this claim that this should be is better / worse at the task? I get the idea of testing this for the purpose of testing this outcome but when I’m using safari or a movie this doesn’t come up as much but if you use pass through it is apparent. This is an intentional engineering choice and keeps on getting reposted…

But then at what kind of tasks is the AVP better at in order to justify its existence/purchase?

It integrates far better into the entire Apple ecosystem of products.

Given the current state of the software - both visionOS itself and available apps - it’s simply not a mass-market device. I believe it will be in 1-2 iterations, but we’re not there yet.

For what it’s worth, I say that as someone who loves their AVP and owns several other headsets including the Quest 3 an Pimax Crystal. I’ve had my AVP for jsut over two weeks and would comfortably estimate that I’ve spent over 100 hours with it on.

That's not a task you can use it for. It's just a feature.

My point exaxtly. I was only talking about the present device and what it doe. Not what it can do in the future iterations.

For the money they charge, it sure is an interesting choice.
