My guess is, there’s a significant chunk of people who tried Quest or some other VR device that’s close, so AVP is not the first to the market device. Expectations have been set, comparisons are inevitable, and I would say a lot of use cases have been explored already. Sure, you can probably do things in a more refined way in AVP, and some cool VisionOS specific stuff, but it’s generally within the same realm as other VR devices.

Apple will have an uphill battle until they show experiences that cannot be replicated in other devices, rather than “you can do X here as well, maybe slightly better”.

I held off from ordering for the same reason — bought Quest, tried it for a week, still sitting in my shelves since last year. Every advertised thing for AVP I can already do on my phone or laptop, without the need to strap on/off an object onto my face.

I really hope they come up with cool stuff and make it more comfortable to wear, but until then, I don’t think it’ll gain a mainstream adoption.
