Everything beyond is True but heavily exaggerated by AI for Your Entertainment and Mine! 🤣 the things this stuff comes up with!
The Pre-Order
As dawn broke on January 19th, a day marked by digital history, a small part of the world awoke to a technological revelation. At precisely 8 am EST, the Apple Vision Pro, a marvel of modern technology designed by Apple in California and most likely manufactured in China, heralded its arrival into the realm of the attainable. Preorders opened, beckoning the eager willing to pay $3500+Tax and the ready.
Was I able to secure one for launch day amidst all the excitement, anticipation, and rumored low launch stock? Indeed, I was successful! With a strategy as clear as the morning sky, I chose the path that seemed to be less trodden by tech enthusiasts. Opting for the headset to be shipped directly to me, I decided to avoid the usual process of picking up my order from the store.
The Apple store on launch day is a vortex of excitement and chaos, holding a charm recently lost to me. The hustle, the bustle, the relentless energy of enthusiasts and fans converging in a single space – it's a spectacle to behold, yet one I prefer to witness from a distance. In the sanctity of my bedroom, watching it on TV, away from the passionate crowds and the pulsating energy of the store, I will happily await the arrival of the Apple Vision Pro in my PJs (knowing UPS or FedEx, they'll probably give me an estimated delivery time of 9 am to 9 pm)
The Process
In the dim light of early morning, the clock struck 8:02 am EST, and with it came a moment destined to be etched in my memory. My eyes on the laptop screen witnessed a digital transformation as the Apple store page, once black with text that read "Back in a Blink," erupted into a list of product listings. There, amidst the static "Buy Now" buttons, the beacon of my quest is the Blue "Pre-Order" button.
My heart raced a wild drum in the quiet of my room. Time seemed to slow as my hand, guided by a mind electric with anticipation, moved towards the mouse. The click of the 'Pre-order' button resonated like a gunshot in the silence, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
Navigating through the digital maze felt like traversing worlds. A survey, probing for the necessity of lens inserts, unfolded like an ancient drop-down – to which I, the fearless explorer, boldly declared my independence from such needs. Each "Do you...?" swiftly sent away with an even swifter 'No.'
I did a Quick scan with Face ID to ensure Apple sent me the right head strap.
The choice of 256GB was clicked. I momentarily pause at the thought of Apple Care. A repair cost of over $2400 loomed like a phantom. Still, I pushed forward, unswayed, knowing that AKKO's Insurence Policy Payout limit would not cover that much.
'Add To Bag,' 'Review Bag' – each step was a dance of fingers over keys, a choreography refined by two decades of digital navigation. The 'Check out' button was a gateway, and the 'Sign in' was a rite of passage. Choosing delivery, I felt gratitude as my information appeared "Apple Magically" in the fields, a silent hymn of thanks to the technological gods.
The payment was a ritual of numbers and security, each detail carefully entered as if weaving a spell of protection over my impending acquisition. The final review was a moment of reflection, a brief pause in the breathless rush.
And then, with a final, decisive click, the deed was done. The bag was secured. Having embarked on a tumultuous ascent (it took 2 minutes), my heart soared through the exhilaration realms. The ordinary morning had transformed into a chapter of an epic tale, where technology, desire, LOTS OF MONEY, and destiny converged to mark the triumph of a singular moment.

Journals
Week 1
Disney+
Ah, Yes, the headliner Themselves, Disney+, is pretty cool. It works. It looks just like the iPad and Apple TV app. The environments are incredibly detailed; I wish they had more life. They barely move. It feels like you're watching a movie in a 3-D photo. Is it volumetric? Yes, but in the Tatooine environment, literally nothing is moving. It's weird to compare it to the Default environments when the water, trees, and clouds move. Now I know this is the first version of this app. There are 1000 environments Disney can use from all their franchise, but if they are all going to be like this: Lifeless, I pass; I'd rather watch Cars 2 on the Moon.
Crunchyroll
It's a simple native app that works but lacks features and environments. It's a minimally viable product, but there's only up from here.
YouTube (Safari)
It's doable but abysmal; I don't know if it's Safari or YouTube, but this is not a very good experience. The page keeps crashing. Safari keeps crashing, and lots of crashing is going on, But again, this visionOS 1.0
