No new features. Thanks. My AVP continues to collect dust.

Why does it feel like this product is being back burnered? Just a guess, but if Apple could go back in time they would have possibly spent the time and money on AI/SIRI vs Apple Vision. That could have come later, when SIRI and AI was good for voice stuff.

Plus, visionOS 3 is out to developers in a few months. They’re probably packing all the goodies in it to make it seem like a huge release.

That is 100% your fault. I used it daily. It is amazing for work with my Mac - best purchase EVER working on the sofa with laptop and a gigantic cinema-like screen.

Or watching movies.

😂 “It will only get cheaper” Apple make something cheaper? You almost had me.
In 2008 the first MacBook Air with SSD was $2800. Today that's equivalent to over $4K.
