Love your vision pro vids. can’t wait to see your review
Reviews plural.
This seems like a huge logistical nightmare for Apple that could have been avoided by the iPhone scanning app just detecting if glasses are worn and requesting they be taken off!
Agreed. Not everyone has RUclips commenters to point out our stupidity.
Dr Wiggo is the BEST !✌🏼
Thanks!
Can’t wait for the unboxing!
Neither can I!
I just got out of a VR training session in Engage VR. I specifically asked tech support when the Engage VR app for the Vision Pro would be released. He said very soon, potentially in the next couple of weeks - as soon as the App Store approves it. Would be a great place for AVP owners to meet in VR, and for someone like you to present content.
Cool.
I was in a demo in which Engage VR avatars appeared in my living room in mixed reality (on the Meta Quest 3). He indicated that feature should be available on the Vision Pro. My avatar could appear in someone else's home as well. @@DrWiggo
The Apple Store's 'Quick Guide to Shopping for Apple Vision Pro' literally demonstrates Light Seal Scan measurement being done by a person with large, thick glasses.
I believe the worry is unwarranted, and the likely reason for everyone's variable re-readings is that the true differences in Light Seal size and shape is minimal and the Light Seal Cushions will close that gap. Exciting times! Let's all enjoy the new era of tech! :)
Of course I overreacted. It’s what I do. But thanks for the consolation.
I think the reason they are releasing the “PRO” version is a bit like how Tesla released the Model S first which was to have the flagship out there to bring in a lot of money and release the cheaper, non Pro, version a couple years later.
Good insight. Make people want it, then later let them afford it.
The thing is, with the face scan giving different results, I worry that I might not end up getting a good fitting one anyways. Why not make the straps more adjustable? It doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. However, allowing for the sizes to be approximate would make more sense and be less of a headache for the consumers.
That’s why they strongly encourage you pick it up in store and get it fitted.
@@DrWiggo I know... that'd be much safer, but here in California, picking up in-store is far too backed up
@@DrWiggo Only 273 Apple Stores across America. Many people have to drive 200 miles to visit an Apple Store.
You oedered two?!!!! Well, you could send the first 0ne to me haha
I have to give one back!
There may be someone out there that will give the exact money back if not more! I would put it on eBay and see what happens lol!
You had me worried. I did the scan with my glasses on, and got a Medium which I thought would be too small (and still might be), but I just did a couple of scans with my glasses off and got the exact same measurements. They would have told us to take off our glasses if it was required, but I understand it can make a difference anyway. I think the measuring process is just off in general.
Agreed.
same prob here!!! hoping they will give me right size when I pick up
If you’re picking up, you’ll be fine. They won’t let you leave without a good fit.
I think the Vision Pro was planned to release on the 40th anniversary of the Mac. Apple announced an extra week for bug fixing not long ago, and I think that was probably the difference in release. I appreciate the bug fix week. That was cool to see. Especially if it was at the cost of an anniversary release.
Makes sense. Thanks.
Yup, I bought a second one, just to have a second pair. I live up here in Paris Tn. I bet we could have some fun with AVP. I'm an old hardware tech.
And I thought I was excessive! 😀
You can return the one that you don’t want to keep and return it within 14 days.
I also ordered the Zeiss readers, but I’d done some research before ordering.
I bet the expanded availability on Sunday night was because they ordered more Vision Pros post pre-order launch.
New Sub, looking forward to your review and other Vision Pro videos
Thanks!
Hey that’s funny I live in Tennessee near Nashville and I thought I must be like only one of a few buying one because the dates for in store pickup were feb 3rd so looks like you had the same experience
Living in TN has more advantages than just barbecue and hot chicken!
Great video! Made me laugh because I did the same thing 😂 looking forward to your review of the reading lenses. 👍
So I’m not the only one? Makes me feel better.
Thank You for your integrity, AVP is being sold on a 3rd party Website.
I saw some of those. They’re preying on people outside the US who will get burned when Apple doesn’t let them use their Apple IDs.
Not many can claim they bought a Mac during the initial year. Apparently Stephen Fry bought the first Mac (or it might have been a Lisa, or both) in the UK, so you're in good company.
Very good company. Douglas Adams was another early adopter. Met him when we were both writing for MacUser magazine.
@@DrWiggo interesting, Wikipedia says Douglas Adams bought the first Mac in the UK, and Stephen Fry was second. Could have sworn i saw an interview with Stephen Fry where he discussed about buying the first Mac. But who am I to question Wikipedia!
Wonder if there's an easter egg in an old issue of MacUser with the real answer to the universe…
I never do Apple pick up orders. But I figured I don’t want to deal with going back to Apple Store trying to get the correct size. I figured this way I can try all the sizes and make sure I have the best fit. From someone who uses vr everyday. I want the best fit cuz it because matters for long sessions.
That’s the smart move. Remember, the word idiot is in the video title.
If you are going to return one to Apple, be sure to return all the parts that comes with it. Apple probably won’t let you return if you mix match the parts from 2 different package.
Good point.
Can't wait for the Dr Wiggo Vision Pro giveaway competition…
Don’t start rumors! I need that money back!
Buying 2= You're building a time machine ‼️ Just let me bum a ride back to "85"..😢
I would load up on Apple stock in 1985!
@DrWiggo 🙏 I'd sit down in front of the TV 📺 with a big bowl of 80s cereal and watch Saturday Morning Cartoons 🤔
But Doc I can't believe you bought 2! 🤦🏾♂️
I didn't mean to! They wouldn't let me cancel! (Even though it still hasn't shipped a week later)
Couldn’t you have just ordered the lenses separately and the light shield?
Maybe eventually, but not yet.
I had similar situation, but a different success. Actually I ordered one without the readers at 8 AM 1/19. Then about 30 minutes later, I went in and did an order for the readers, and a spare light seal (Just in case). The spare light seal ordering process allowed me to rescan my head with the readers included in the information. I ended up with a slightly different sized light seal with the readers and a rescan. The ordering system did allow for this, if you did a separate order as an accessory. So I am picking up my unit at the store (Feb 2 Estero Florida store) with NO readers and the light seal appropriate for no readers. A second light seal and readers are being shipped (Feb 2 as well) to my home. I am keeping the light seal that is slightly smaller depth for folks who use it without glasses, as I am sure many folks will want to test drive it and many will not use readers.@@DrWiggo
I agree. 40 years
Seems like only yesterday. Until I look in a mirror.
So will you be giving that second pro to one of your loyal viewers?😊
Would that I had that kind of money. No.
The algorithm sent me back for a second video!
Awesome. If you subscribe you can bypass the algorithm.
@@DrWiggo sold!
Mac turns 40 and is selling quite well in 2023:
Mac -- 21.9 million
Windows PCs -- 220 million
And the profits on those 20M Macs exceeds that of the 200M PCs.
@@DrWiggo And those huge profits are because Mac customers are grossly overcharged, and they seem happy about that? haha
Windows guys are much more savvy. I wouldn't pay 600 dollars for 32 gigs of ram!
@@DrWiggo If Macs are better than Windows, then the largest most successful companies in the world should have a Mac on every employee's desk. So why is this not happening?
@@DrWiggo Does high profits somehow benefit Mac owners? Current Macs cannot run Boot Camp, they cannot use eGPU boxes, and they cannot be upgraded or repaired.
Even the Mac Pro at the top of the Mac mountain, cannot use any video card other than what is built into the M2 Ultra.
Sound like your preparing for a major give away!
No. Y’all stop thinking about that!
Love the title 😂 loll
Seemed appropriate.
Any hope of giveaways? 😂
Zero chance. It would take me years to make enough money from RUclips to cover that.
@@DrWiggo Waiting for your unboxing and review video
Vision Pro is a dead gimmick
Since no one has one yet, that’s a bit premature.
@@DrWiggo I predicted Stadia would fail before release due to what happened to OnLive. Same logic here. All previous VR projects are app graveyards with no retention.
@@michelians1148 I for one am convinced of this proof that you have psychic powers.
Oh god what a clickbait title. Desperate!
Doesn’t seem like clickbait to me. Did you watch the video?
I do not think that word means what you think it does.
@@DrWiggo You are the only RUclipsr that ordered two 4000-dollar headsets, and then you call yourself an idi0t. The title attracted my attention!
