I was in college when AirPods came out and first adopters were ridiculed for how goofy they looked. I was in high school when the Apple Watch came out and first adopters were ridiculed for paying $800 to tell the time. I was in middle school when the iPad came out and reviewers made fun of how it sounded like a feminine hygiene product. I can understand kids having these ridicule takes about a new product category, but it’s weird for adults to still believe their self respect can beat out their dopamine addictions despite years of evidence to the contrary. You’re not that strong. You will fold after the first time you experience a strong emotion in the headset. I still remember my first aha moment for the iPhone 3GS. One of our family friends had got one and he let me play around with it while him and my dad drank coffee the porch. I went on the App Store and found a table tennis game. Then I got an air hockey game. Then I found a flight simulator. I opened the Stocks app. It dawned on me that this little box had solved the software discoverability problem, that I would never need to go to Best Buy again to get the next version of McAfee or whatever. At that point I knew this weird rectangle was going to be a big deal. Who cares how stupid holding this thing made me look. I’m the main character in my own life and I will have fun and there is nothing anyone else can do about it. I will always prioritize my entertainment over my conformance, and you will too, even if you don’t know it yet. Regardless, it is very funny to see the person next to me on the subway quote tweeting this video of the guy wearing Vision Pro on the subway being like “ugh, can you believe this? Does this idiot not realize how ridiculous he looks? And he paid thousands of dollars for that goofy thing?” Sent, of course, on iPhone.
