Apple Vision Pro (M5) review three-months later: A flawed wonder
Summary
The Apple Vision Pro M5 adds a faster processor, longer battery life, and improved ergonomics, but remains a niche product hampered by premium pricing, developer scarcity, and lack of compelling everyday use cases. While it delivers the most unique spatial computing experience available, the incremental upgrade doesn't address fundamental issues preventing mainstream adoption.
Pros
- ✓Faster M5 chip performance
- ✓Most unique and advanced spatial computing experience currently available
- ✓Improved comfort with redesigned strap
- ✓Strong ecosystem commitment from Apple
Cons
- ✕Premium pricing remains prohibitively high
- ✕Heavier design despite ergonomic improvements
- ✕Severe lack of developer interest and app ecosystem
- ✕No clear long-term value proposition for average consumers
- ✕Lacks multi-modal AI capabilities of competitors
- ✕Incremental improvements don't solve fundamental adoption problems
