Are you ready to see the world in a whole new way? Do you want to experience entertainment, productivity, and connection like never before? Do you have $3,500 to spare? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you might be interested in the Apple Vision Pro, the latest and greatest device from the Cupertino company that brought you the iPhone, the iPad, and the AirPods.

The Apple Vision Pro is a mixed-reality headset that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. You can navigate simply by using your eyes, hands, and voice. So you can do the things you love in ways never before possible. Sounds amazing, right? Well, it is. But don’t take our word for it. Here are 12 things you need to know about the Apple Vision Pro before you buy it.

1. It looks like a pair of ski goggles

The Apple Vision Pro is not exactly a fashion statement. It looks like a pair of ski goggles with a sleek aluminum frame and a laminated glass enclosure. The device is designed to fit comfortably on your face, with a light seal that blocks out stray light and a head band that provides cushioning, breathability, and stretch. The fit dial lets you adjust the Vision Pro precisely to your head. The device also comes with an external battery that supports up to 2 hours of use, and all-day use when plugged in.

2. It has a 4K display for each eye

The Apple Vision Pro boasts a stunning display quality that rivals any TV or monitor. It has a 4K display for each eye, with more pixels than a 4K TV. The device also has a total of 12 cameras and five sensors that track your head, eye, and hand movements, as well as your surroundings. The device uses a new operating system called visionOS, which presents you with a familiar grid of app icons and supports low-latency performance.

3. It lets you use apps in your space

One of the coolest features of the Apple Vision Pro is that it lets you use apps in your space. You have an infinite canvas that transforms how you use the apps you love. You can arrange apps anywhere and scale them to the perfect size, making the workspace of your dreams a reality — all while staying present in the world around you. You can browse the web in Safari, create a to-do list in Notes, chat in Messages, and seamlessly move between them with a glance.

4. It transforms any room into your own personal theater

The Apple Vision Pro is also an immersive way to experience entertainment. You can transform any room into your own personal theater by expanding your movies, shows, and games up to the perfect size while feeling like you’re part of the action with Spatial Audio. You can watch Foundation on the Apple TV app, play Fortnite on Epic Games Store, or listen to music on Spotify — all on a giant screen that only you can see.

5. It captures spatial photos and videos in 3D

The Apple Vision Pro is not only a device for consuming content, but also for creating it. The device is Apple’s first 3D camera that can capture spatial photos and spatial videos in 3D, then relive those cherished moments like never before with immersive Spatial Audio. Your existing library of photos and videos looks incredible at remarkable scale. And panoramas wrap around you — making you feel like you’re standing right where you took them.

6. It makes meetings more meaningful

The Apple Vision Pro also makes it easy to collaborate and connect wherever you are. FaceTime video tiles are life-size, and as new people join, the call simply expands in your room. Within FaceTime, you can also use apps to collaborate with colleagues on the same documents simultaneously. You can also use other communication apps like Slack, Zoom, or Teams to stay in touch with your team.

7. It has no controllers

The Apple Vision Pro has no controllers or buttons. Instead, it relies entirely on your eyes, hands, and voice to interact with the device. You can use natural gestures like pointing, tapping, pinching, or swiping to manipulate digital objects or navigate menus. You can also use eye tracking to select items or move your cursor by looking at them. And you can use voice commands to launch apps or perform actions by saying “Hey Siri”.

8. It has a Digital Crown

The only physical input on the Apple Vision Pro is a Digital Crown on the side of the device. The Digital Crown is similar to the one on the Apple Watch, and it lets you switch between AR and VR modes by rotating it. AR mode lets you see digital content overlaid on your real environment, while VR mode lets you immerse yourself in virtual worlds.

9. It has a lot of games

The Apple Vision Pro is not just a productivity or entertainment device, but also a gaming device. The device has a lot of games that take advantage of its mixed-reality capabilities. You can play games like Minecraft, Pokemon Go, or Angry Birds in your space, or explore immersive worlds like Star Wars, Harry Potter, or The Elder Scrolls. You can also play multiplayer games with your friends or strangers online.

10. It has a lot of apps

The Apple Vision Pro has a lot of apps that you can use for various purposes. You can use apps like Maps, Calendar, Mail, or Weather to stay organized and informed. You can use apps like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ to watch videos. You can use apps like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or Facebook to share your spatial photos and videos. You can use apps like Photoshop, GarageBand, iMovie, or Logic Pro to create and edit content. You can use apps like Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox to browse the web. And you can use apps like Kindle, Audible, Apple Books, or Goodreads to read books.

11. It is compatible with other Apple devices

The Apple Vision Pro is compatible with other Apple devices, such as the iPhone, the iPad, the Mac, the Apple Watch, and the AirPods. You can use your iPhone as a companion device to set up and manage your Vision Pro. You can use your iPad or Mac as a secondary display to mirror or extend your Vision Pro screen.
