The Vision Pro launch feels like Apple quietly whispering, “Hey, we’re changing computing forever,” while the rest of us are still trying to figure out if the headset leaves a dent in your face. It’s ambitious, polished, and slightly awkward — like the first generation of every category Apple eventually dominates.
The most interesting part isn’t the hardware. It’s the bet: that spatial computing will become as normal as pulling out your phone. Apple thinks we’re ready to blend screens with our surroundings. Early reviews suggest we might be… eventually. For now, it’s more of a “this is incredible, but also my family is staring at me” situation.
The Vision Pro exposes a tension between future potential and present practicality. It’s a glimpse of what’s coming, wrapped in a device that costs more than most people’s laptops. That’s not a flaw — it’s a pattern. Apple starts with the early adopters and waits for the rest of the world to catch up.
If computing really moves from hands → eyes, what new habits will we form? And what old ones will quietly fade away?
