For those unaware, the long awaited Apple's VR device, Vision Pro, has arrived. Earlier this week, content creators, websites and gadget reviewers started publishing their first impressions on the device, a fruit of the early access granted for them. Consumers are only today getting their hands on it.
the /r/virtualreality sub was, of course, taken by the news.
1 - First, this post rounds up multiple reviews of the device - in its majority praising Apple's technological revolution.
The majority of the sub, however, is not believing it. This top voted comment believes the reviewers were handpicked for being "less experienced", so that they would be "more dazzled by the tech".
This fella is certain every outlet is "sucking apple's fat shlong".
Others are just enjoying the mess: "So good we have a new hardware battle in the tech world again".
2 - Memes begin arising, with a colorful comment section; this guy is happy to see innovation and wants to wait and see how it goes, but this reply makes it clear he already knows the Apple device is worse than Meta's device. The rest of the comment section doesn't get better.
3 - This specific user is speechless with an emotional experience with the device, but the comment section is not happy about it, and more tribal war ensues.
4 - This is an important one: It's a picture of Apple's CEO wearing the device, made public from an extensive review from vanity fair, quoting even James Cameron as being completely taken by the technology. Comment section (350+ comments) is a blood battle.
5 - This guy is tired of the fighting, asks for perspective and says "This subreddit of all places should be a source of optimism for the progression of the technology".
6 - This is posted comparing the takes from /r/virtualreality (as being cynical) and /r/VisionPro (as being passionate and optimistic). But the top comment thinks it's because /r/virtualreality has seen it all, while /r/VisionPro is naive. And someone adds here that OP "is making /r/VisionPro sound like a heavenly meadow full of daisies". Another user thinks the Vision Pro sub is a cult of uninformed tech buyers.
7 - Trying to chime in, this expert VR user gets his hand on a Vision Pro and gives it what he thinks is a fair assessment, but he's informed only negative reviews are allowed there. This friend thinks his post "reeks of Apple's positive influence" over them.
