Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Make this lady do more videos. I think she's cool.
I think if Apple can make a headset that has at least 150° FOV as my old oculus quest 2’s field of vision was terrible, the graphics also need to improve by a huge margin to what they are today
I believe Apple has pushed their "we come a few years after everyone but make it better" strategy a bit too far. Every other company has already tried this before, it didn't work (I mean, there are products, but they are not a must), and it is not a new concept, as VR headsets already existed in the 1980's… Even Meta, that tried to push the "Metaverse" concept very hard, is moving on to conversational AI, which is the new thing everyone want to jump to right now.

What would the Apple VR product be called… iSee!! 😂
I see what you are trying to do apple…😏
Bridget you are really fun to watch! Great content as always.. Greetings from the other end of the world!
Br is the best thing happen in youtube
I have heard that when the internet is done the next thing taking over will be the metaverse Apparently it’s a virtual reality thing with all the things the internet can do right now. Apple obviously know this, and are developing tech in anticipation I think this metaverse thing is still a way off, and maybe Apple have jumped the gun with this. Only time will tell, but if there’s a company big enough and powerful enough to kick start this next big thing, then surely it must be Apple!
I thought you covered toys?
i love you bro
This is literally what apple is going to use as a base line for the presentation. These guys got hired to put this out to prep the people and organize the presentation.
God she's annoying.
love this video and the dynamic with the two
Like apple tv, so much hype but when it came out nothing much crazy there but Apple car will be amazing
I dont think most can last long on a VR. I kinda feel that they should focus on their macos first. For now, it just seems that the engineers dont use the software themselves.
Big Bridget fan…Daily Show level presentation style and hilarity. She would fit right in
The software updates apple is making this year are not going to be huge, it’s one of those incremental years where they focus on performance and stability. It should leave them with a big chunk of showtime to talk about their headset. I just hope we get to see another “one more thing…” at the end of the software part of the event.
It probably wont be released until iPhone 20…or when 1-2nm chip are availble for it to be efficient in battery
So many words just to say nothing
If it can run huge games in VR, e.g. Hogarth Legacy, then it will sell to at least gamers, even at a high cost.
Bridget da goat
This is the MOST boring apple announcement I have EVER seen in my whole life … Someone else does something radical, weird, odd, strange and then this person get's a multimillionaire bonus – thes ONLy happened in movies …
$3000?!?!? That can’t be right.
The one thing I don’t care about at all
Would rather get the apple cloth
Whyyyyyyyyyy I've been waiting for the Apple AR glasses for sooo longggg. Why VR, there's so many standalone ones already..
Lol that look @ 1:29 – priceless 😂
I do have faith that if ANYONE can crack this platform, it's Apple. But I really hope they don't fall into the enterprise trap and lock it behind insane pricing and limited content.
I would love to buy it but no one ones buying it in this economy
Every time I think about buying a house I look at the increase from $80,000 to $300 000 and some FOMO offers and realize.. that buying Apple products is really the only luxury that I can really afford.🤔 And that will actually bring me joy.🥺 Sign of the times!🙄
Everyone is 100% on board this rumor. It's been a decade now and it's always coming out this year.
Having try Quest 2 and just bought PSVR 2
Apple must have at launch will be
1. fully running MAC OS on it
2. Apple Fitness workouts for it
3. Apple Music concerts for it
4. Apple TV plus/sports content for
5. Gaming for it is obvious but it needs to be serious about it, buy gaming studios to make exclusive games for it
6.
For $3,000 I would need to be sold on controllers and headset both being fantastic upgrades / differentiators over what Meta Quest, PCVR and PSVR2 currently offer.
Did you guys forget about the Developer Transition Kits? Both were done at WWDC. Essentially the world was introduced to M1 (for the latest kit anyway) and devs were given a working platform (a repurposed Mac Mini). This wasn't a version one or a consumer product. So. Could be the same deal. We also see this happen in video games with consoles.. though with much secrecy.. for reasons..
Apple can only make Pro-sumer products. Apple left the business sector a long time ago when they quietly ended their Mac Server OS. Apple AR/VR headset like all Apple products will be tightly bound to the Apple Ecosystem.
AR/VR has problems staying relevant right now. The big push for VR by companies like Meta and others seems to be out of desperation. IMO Many investors bet several years ago that VR/AR driven Metaverse (a semi cringe category they gave AR/VR apps and games) to be the new “Internet”. As vocal as the internet is about VR, only wallets matters. So what is for Apple to gain by releasing an AR/VR headset? The market is limited, they would further limit themselves with Apple Ecosystem. It’s like throwing money into a burning pit.
They could announce compatibility of new MacOS and an already available headset. This to me is the most plausible as the Risk is all on the other company, and it would just be software which is right up WWDC alley.
Having a solution to a problem always sells!
Imagine being able to vacuum while watching YouTube with your VR
Having your own room in VR, where your things are in this room, things are music you have bought, movies you have purchased, books you have bought, your documents saved in iCloud, everything you have that you have bought from Apple is in this room!
$3000 no problem! Or it will be $99 for 36 months! i don't care! I buy!
3k for a vr headset. 😂😂😂😂 typical apple
Apple is so boring.
Apple is the trend-setter of tech, the quality of the hardware should make even the 1st gen of their vr still something to impress and achieve a leap forward in this industry. Awaiting to see what happens no matter how those feel about vr. Have gotten my sea legs for it myself with my own headset, the ill effects do go away and it's an amazing thing to witness when done right 🥽
what they are giving devs will not be the consumer product. the end goal is XR capable glasses. this is a dev tool so there are a ton of apps on launch in a couple years
AR/VR still doesn't have a compelling, long term use case. Apple would be trend chasing if this actually comes to fruition. I do not see this gaining mainstream traction.
Apple do need to get this right if they are launching this VR product and questionable timing of this product coming out as well. If they can create an environment that is a customizable and interactive like quest 2 but they can add their apple products to this! Apple TV theater, virtual workout spaces! Come on!!!!!
Vr won't grow as fast as need cos no game dev is focusing on big vr games
I know if Apple do it they will do it right. They don’t release half baked products like so many other companies. But what I do hope is that they don’t try and lock you into their ecosystem by making some features unusable without say an iPhone or an Apple Watch. The only Apple product I own is the iPad Pro because I do t like the restrictiveness of their phones and watches, I am a Samsung fan in those categories. Though if the price tag is as rumoured I doubt I will as I doubt it will offer enough to justify me forking out that much.
