It’s a mixed bag. It’s clearly great for work like software development, with multiple virtual screens. IMHO, Apple should have focused the product as a work device. Perhaps they could have replaced the need for a laptop plus multiple screens.

Entertainment is mixed. Watching a movie is great if you live alone. Are families going to buy one for everybody? Nope.

Apple’s demos looked awkward. It’s a like a space helmet dragging a cord with it. It looks “anchored”.

It’s anti mobile and anti spontaneity. You’re not going to walk around outside with it. A FaceTime call comes in. Are you going to run, find it and put it on? No.

As it stands, it’s an expensive niche device. A laptop replacement would have been the killer app, in my view. Maybe some developer will create a killer app that we don’t anticipate.

The keynote showed shareplay/facetime functionality where you can answer on your phone and then switch to tvOS.

It would probably work similar to this, also shareplay for watching simultaneously on your tv and visionOS might be a thing ?
