I'm excited about the Vision Pro and cannot wait to own one.

Most apps will run in 2D windows without any modification.

Apple says:

"visionOS runs compatible iPad and iPhone apps to provide continuous access to existing content right away. visionOS supports most of the same technologies as iOS, so many apps built to run on iPad or iPhone can run unmodified on visionOS devices. When a compatible app runs in visionOS, it retains the same appearance it had in iPadOS or iOS, and its content appears in a window in the person’s surroundings."

I am looking forward to completely immersing myself in reading a novel by using the Kindle app.

Apple has decided that the user opts into the full screen app mode and that the default is multiple apps running. I think that is the right approach.

Besides reading, I plan on also using the device for work.

The specs on the device are impressive. Each eye is basically looking at a 4K display.

For those who say I should buy a bunch of televisions, I don't bother watching the one I own. As for buying a MacBook Pro instead, I already have one.

I'll be able to capture 3D videos using my iPhone 15. It is a modern version of a stereoscope from the 1800s.

This device will open up a whole new world. Bring it on.
