The Apple Vision Pro – Stratechery by Ben Thompson

Thompson with his first full take on the Apple Vision Pro after having it for a while. He highlights the origin, tradeoffs, and the state of the software as it stands. Overall a reasonable assessment but I think some of his comparisons are a bit off — say comparing his four displays on his desktop to the Vision Pro display. I do strongly agree with him on the lack of multi-user capabilities. Right now Vision OS is just like iOS or iPadOS and only accommodates one user. You can enable guest mode, but I can already tell you that it is annoying that every time Tyler wants to use the Vision Pro I have to put it on, authenticate, and then enable Guest Mode for him — where he then has to retrain it for his hands and eyes. The good news is software alone could solve this and get it to the point where anyone in the family can put on the device and have it ready for them.
