I didn't/couldn't get one until its 6th iteration but could def feel the shift in the mobile industry and how one viewed a mobile device year over year.

Ohhh buddy. I am totally on the side of "Vision Pro is a Mac", not an entertainment device like Meta's. I view it in the same way that PDAs, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile devices were about "doing email" and "doing calendars." Then the iPhone came out and it was a PC in your pocket. The iPhone could do everything PCs could, plus new things enabled by Mobile. I see the Vision Pro as the full desktop computer, it can do everything our Macs and iPads can do now, plus new things Spatial Computing enables. Another historical trend: Meta's strategy is "social first" -- it requires your social network to already have one. Their phone failed for this reason. Apple's strategy has always been to make devices more individual in their experience. From PCs to iPod/iPhone/iPad to Vision Pro, the devices get more and more personal. Each time has played out such that once people see the benefits for themselves and are using the devices, then it's easy for a service like Facebook to connect all the users. Interesting times, we'll see...
