The Apple Vision Pro Is A Total Failure...

today's video is brought to you by our

longest running friends over at

manscaped and I always have my manscape

Razor ready to go who knows when you

need to groom now of course we got an

arsenal of actual utensils here grooming

utensils for all of you out there we got

the lawnmower 3.0 plus the lawnmower 4.0

Pro and the lawnmower 5.0 Ultra now you

might be wondering what's the difference

between all three of these well we'll

start off with the 3.0 plus ladies and

gentlemen it is an impressive piece of

Craftsman and Engineering we are talking

about a design that is modern refined

and we are talking sophisticated and

ergonomic the build quality it feels

sturdy well constructed meaning you can

sit down with the updated ceramic blades

with a plastic guard that's designed for

absolute enhanced comfort and of course

even when Comfort during grooming is

absolutely important manscape completely

understands it which is why going to the

lawnmower 4.0 Pro which is the fourth

generation trimmer we are talking about

a constant powerful RPM Motor consistent

shavee from start to finish and of of

course beyond all of it you've got the

lawnmower 5.0 which has taken the

Precision and the Comfort to the Next

Generation dual skin safe blade heads

Now with an updated trimmer blade and an

interchangeable foil blade and guess

what all those are waterproof so you can

take care of your boys while you're in

the shower while it's running just so

you can knock out multiple birds with

one stone so if you want to give your

with the video hello guys and gals me

mudahar and boy oh boy today I got a

little Hardware review for you now you

might be wondering well mud what are you

talking about today well if you read the

title you saw the thumbnail then you

know that I'm talking about that good

old Apple Vision Pro now you might be

like whoa muda what are you talking

about it it's already been talked about

when it came out like two months ago and

the reality of it is is I didn't want to

just sit down and use this thing for 20

minutes and then say wow it's an

impressive piece of technology guys no I

wanted to actually try using it because

I really like virtual reality to give

you a bit of History I am somebody that

does suffer from serious sleep paralysis

okay it's not as bad as it ever used to

be but there was a period of my life

where falling asleep was not a fun

Endeavor okay it was an Endeavor where

if if you want me to describe to you how

sleep paralysis is Imagine waking up

slightly okay and you're unable to move

your neck your arms fingers whatever

okay you can barely move them or

anything it's almost like being locked

inside your body complete actual

paralysis but it's being awake enough to

realize that something's wrong and

sometimes your dreams however bad they

can be can bleed into that effect it's

really a weird feeling and I don't wish

the feeling on anybody even my worst

enemies okay but the reality of it is

one of the ways that I used to truly

combat that was having music play in the

background there was a period where I

put on an actual VR headset and kind of

slept in the world of Minecraft for a

bit some of you you know young in some

of you people in my channel may remember

that okay where I actually made virtual

Minecraft worlds uh added some raate

tracing made them look realistic ran

them on my super powerful computer and

basically just relaxed in virtual

reality fell asleep dozed off did

whatever and it really was a helpful

thing and of course obviously now you

can probably say muda just get yourself

one of those like Galaxy like

nightlights but let me tell you sleeping

in your own world your Minecraft mansion

with path tracing and and VR hitting you

is a is a different different Beast now

since then I've been playing VR games uh

you know here and there you know I I

adopted the PlayStation VR played some

games on there I actually use the Oculus

re VR or The Meta Quest systems to play

games like halflife Alex okay brilliant

virtual reality experiences Resident

Evil 4 VR absolutely a jaw-dropping fun

time and the thing about it is is

obviously you know this is kind of

technology that is still prohibitively

expensive and talking about the Apple

Vision this is by far the most expensive

product that I have ever used in the

virtual reality space so I'm going to

give you a few uh entry-level things I'm

going to guide you through the Journey

okay so 2 months ago when this released

uh it would it never came out in Canada

it's still unavailable in my country so

this is a product that I had to drive

across an international border to the US

New York Buffalo specifically and I

ended up picking up this device now it

is around

$3500 making it the most expensive Apple

device as far as my knowledge goes and

that's before you start gassing up the

price by enhancing the storage and

whatnot so in Canadian dollar in

Canadian fund bucks that's around $5,000

okay tax included and everything so this

cost about as much as some used cars

okay so it is not a cheap Endeavor

nothing that I'm mentioning here is

actually cheap and remember this is

going to be important going into the

rest of the video because price

permeates everything now being an

expensive product obviously it is quite

a good product now this is the best

worst headset that I've used and the

reason I say that term is not because

I'm trying to be contradictory here it

is by far the best hardware that you're

going to find okay we are talking so

many sensors to the point where it's got

six World tracking sensors out there

four actual it tracking sensors lar

sensors flicker sensors ambient light

high resolution cameras so on and so

forth the amount of data this thing

captures from your eyes the world around

you is insane and it's probably more

impressive than nearly any other headset

you're going to find now again the price

permeates everywhere okay that is a

phrase we're going to keep bashing

through the this video because compared

to any other device this costs several

times more so obviously I expect it to

have far more impressive technology

going on forward okay that's pretty much

where it goes to so anybody that's kind

of been talking about how this thing is

an impressive piece of Hardware it

should be for the price you pay clearly

Apple has put a lot of money into making

this as badass as it can be from a

hardware perspective now the reason I

say it's one of the worst headsets I've

used is purely down to the actual

software for it okay because for the

price you pay around 5,000 Canadian

let's just keep it simple 3500 us you

would expect to be able to do a whole

lot more with this headset than anything

else but since I've bought it it's

basically a nightmare and it might as

well collect dust and let me give you

the exact experience of it so when you

put the headset on and you fire it up

initially you'll be blown away by how

clear everything looks okay now

comparing this to other actual devices

the pass through where you can see the

world around you through the cameras is

impressive it almost feels like you're

looking at the world through your own

eyes clearly it is still a camera you

can obviously see how light it is it is

like looking at a camera a really good

camera and the display from my

understanding is a very very good OLED

display which is one of the reasons why

it costs so much and because it's an

OLED display the colors are represented

well the world looks about as good as

you can imagine okay now again again

comparing it to the meta Quest 3 the

pass through there isn't as good but

then again the price permeates

everywhere the price is very much

different so that's one thing you're

going to have going through your head

now obviously when you fire up this

device one of the coolest things that I

have ever seen and this still blows me

away every time I slap that headset on

is the ey tracking now it has four ey

tracking cameras and let me explain how

good this is the way that you're

supposed to use this spatial computer is

your are the mouse and your hands are

the actual like you know clicker right

so basically your hand will be the left

click and you're effectively supposed to

use this kind of like a mobile device

you use your eyes to look at what you

want to interact with and then you tap

with your fingers and the sensors detect

all of it in real time and it is

stunningly accurate so when you want to

like actually open up a menu you look up

a little bit and you can see this little

Command Center icon you tap it and then

you basically open up the actual app

layout and here you can open up a few

app like your web browser messaging

Gallery whatever you want you can open

these apps up and it'll pop up a little

window in front of you and you can take

these windows and stick them anywhere in

your general location different rooms

your room around you whatever and the

cool thing about it is there is

genuinely no lag in this situation

because of how much software because of

how much Hardware is processing in real

time and the actual quality of that

Hardware it is surprisingly good there

is genuinely no lag when it comes to the

windows and they stay in position it

literally is like having proper goddamn

augmented reality like I am genuinely

impressed by what Apple has done by

actually creating a spatial system you

can put one window on this wall walk

away to another room and genuinely you

will see it but it will scale it will

adjust it will act realistically

according to where you place it which is

again mindblowing no matter how many

times I put this on so again the

operating system here Vision OS is

Apple's like first spatial operating

system and beyond all of what I just

said that is where all of the positivity

sort of stops okay now when we talk

about paying $3,500 for a piece of

Hardware you would expect that you can

start to do a whole heck of a lot more

than just send some messages record some

spatial videos and browse the internet

so there is an app store to this but

because I'm Canadian and this is a

product that is only released in the

United States I wasn't able to install

applications through my main Canadian

account you can however create a US

Apple ID and just download some

applications so I did download a couple

out of this I downloaded Reddit I

downloaded Twitter there was even honai

star rail a full game that you can

download and amongst other spatial OS

exclusive applications for now because

of how new and again prohibitively

restrictive this device is there's not a

whole lot of applications to really deal

with and again until this this product

globally launches and more and more

people grab onto it you're probably not

going to expect a whole lot of Apple

Vision exclusive stuff so for the

applications that are there it's kind of

like having an iPad except blown up to

whatever Dimension you wanted and that's

where I have a real issue with it while

it's cool that you can get extra

functionality through these applications

everything that you basically are doing

on the Apple Vision Pro for

$3,500 could easily be replicated on

your smartphone your tablet or hell even

your computer and that's where

the nightmare begins so again one of the

things that Apple likes to tout here is

productivity okay so I want to really

talk about productivity as somebody that

makes YouTube videos I still edit my own

content so generally I have this

computer back here so I can just throw

my projects in edit them myself and have

them uploaded for you to watch so the

way that it works on the Apple Vision

Pro is if you have a Mac device you can

mirror your screen so one of the things

you've seen in the marketing is people

using their MacBooks and then they can

blow up a screen and have an external

display anywhere they want in augmented

reality and that sounds really cool

until you actually use it see as an

editor as somebody that uses a computer

at their desktop I have multiple

monitors because I like to use multiple

systems I think all of us really do I

think most people watching my videos you

probably have multiple monitors as well

you know what Apple Vision doesn't let

you do multip multiple monitors now

there are applications you can buy to

get extra functionality but I don't

think you should have to spend an extra

dime after you spent

$3,500 to have an extra two or three

monitors on your display I think the

system should be very capable of doing

it now beyond all of it it's cool to

have this super big 70in Mega 4K display

while you're working right that sounds

cool until you also realize the audio

doesn't feed through the Apple Vision

Pro yeah for $3,500 when you use this

device as an external monitor it doesn't

feed the MacBooks audio to your Apple

Vision device I don't know why maybe

it's a restriction of the Apple Vision

like service or the screen mirroring

they use but it is genuinely baffling

how Apple has created this productivity

device that doesn't really seem all that

productive when you really start to use

it now one of the things that I've been

told is this would be great if you're on

a playing mudahar right imagine instead

of dealing with your laptop display you

can just have a massive Mega monitor

while you're on a plane now just think

about the logic here real quickly you're

expecting me to take a super expensive

MacBook and then a apple Vision Pro on

the same flight so already you want me

to have several thousands of dollars

that I'm carrying around I think for the

price that you buy this device it should

be able to run some of those Mac OS

editing applications on its own it would

be really awesome to have Final Cut or

Adobe Premiere running locally on the

headset so you can just bring the

headset and that's it that's all you

needed it would be awesome to cut video

and cut software right with your hands

while you have augmented reality if I'm

bringing my laptop anyways I'll just

bring the laptop and call it a day it's

a lot easier to stick a laptop into a

backpack and take that with you anywhere

you want versus bringing a laptop maybe

even an extra Mouse and then the Apple

Vision Pro now when it comes to other

software on it one of the things that

really hurts is the lack of gaming so if

you have that MacBook one of the things

you could do is download games like

death stranding and stream them from

your MacBook to your Apple Vision now

it's not going to be like VR Gaming it's

still just you can make the screen big

and just throw it on the wall and play

that game as if you were I guess kind of

playing it on a big screen TV but see

that takes me to the second question

here right the one of the things that

Apple has sort of shown in its promotion

is the ability to watch movies and and

and entertainment on your Apple Vision

like you were at a theater and here's

the thing in most cases that works

really well watching a YouTube video on

this thing blown up to your big blown up

to like your wall is awesome but here's

the thing for the price you pay and

remember price permeates everything in

this video for the price you pay 3500 us

why the wouldn't you just buy an

actual flat screen TV at that point a

good flat screen TV because at that

point you can share that experience with

not just you but everyone around you

instead of one person sitting dystopian

Style with their headset on watching a

movie and even if you're talking to

other people through your Apple Vision

Pro it's still weird so the way that

they have FaceTime and Communications is

they use something known as personas so

when you activate your Apple Vision you

have to put it up to your face they scan

your like you know Persona your face

they make a 3D map of it now this 3D map

is downright horrific anybody you call

on FaceTime freaks the out okay

literally they freak out whenever they

see it and rightfully so it looks

uncanny and weird and it's not at a

point where you're supposed to even use

this properly like it's it's something

that I don't really think uh will

probably ever truly take off and it's

not something that I think really brings

people together or or or brings that

social feeling if you will right like as

if I'm sitting with somebody next to me

if they also have another Apple vision

problem on it's just weird to FaceTime

somebody and again for that price why

not just take my actual phone and

actually FaceTime somebody that's one of

the questions again I have to ask now I

guess the final part of this is the

software so one of the videos you might

have seen around the release of the

Apple Vision was Mark Zuckerberg

crapping on the device and as much as I

hate to side with the Zuck somebody on

his PR team is doing a great job gassing

him up because he is 100% right

now again the price is everything for

3500 us comparing it to the much cheaper

meta Quest 3 just by that as much as I

dislike Facebook meta Mark Zuckerberg he

genuinely has the better more valuable

product for anybody because the amount

of openness that that Quest has versus

the closed model that Apple has really

really shoots this thing in the foot see

one of the problems is for paying

$3,500 the only thing you can interact

with is other Apple products and this

this isn't new obviously Apple stuff

only really works with other Apple stuff

but for $3,500 and as good of a hardware

set that this thing provides it is so

shameful that you can't somehow get this

to work with steam VR or anything on the

PC space the ability to play stuff like

emu VR or padav or a lot of these big VR

PC titles using the resolution the

quality of this device would be killer

but apple is so restrictive that they do

not allow that at all and they have no

goal of allowing it so you buy this

$3,500 device and it's got really good

Hardware the only problem is Apple

shoots themselves in the foot by

creating a product that only works with

a very few pieces of Hardware very few

Mac devices iPhones iPads if that and

the the things you can really do are so

limited in scope that it's almost not

worth even bothering with the device and

I would use this a whole heck of a lot

more had this had proper PC connectivity

if I could connect this to steam VR

somehow I would now since I've actually

been filming this video there has been

some updates for instance about a month

ago and actually is a few days there

have been extended clients like alvr

which allow you to play Apple like

Vision like allows you to play like PC

stuff on Apple Vision products but the

reality of this is is even this is still

not perfect and again one of the side

tangents that I want to bring into it is

something known as web XR which which is

again just web functionality this is an

open framework that works across many

virtual reality augmented reality

products so of course as you can see

here on my Mac uh sorry Apple Vision Pro

it's just not functioning because the

web browser doesn't actually have

support for this framework however if

you load up the exact same tools on an

actual meta Quest 3 you can see that

immediately one of these room scale demo

starts to work right out of the box and

look even beyond all of this a couple

days ago meta Quest or metam themselves

basically became as open as they can be

actually allowing their devices to

support more of these Frameworks and are

working from my understanding with other

brands and other products as well so

Apple's closed ideology is clashing with

surprisingly meta's open ideology here

and as far as history is always shown at

least in my experience is that these

open products in my opinion tend to be

way more consumer friendly and obviously

I think with meta being being as

successful as they are in the space is

absolutely going to smash Apple all

right that's just not even a shock to me

and even for Apple stuff looking into

how their product or how the Apple

Vision has been received they have to

reassess the actual Supply that they

have to build because again this isn't

taking off like the iPhone or the iPad

or the MacBook because while those have

functionality this is just a toy that

can easily be replaced by any of their

other devices that are just more prac

iCal and far more cheaper but until then

we cannot use this device the way that I

think we really should be allowed to for

$3500 now again this is where I think

the reviews for this thing generally

fall into the six and seven out of 10

Camp it's really good Hardware it's just

Apple up by locking it down so

restrictively that you're not really

able to do a whole heck of a lot much

with it and that I think is the big

problem with like VR stuff in general

one of the things uh that I think make f

Facebook meta successful in this regard

is that they open up their stuff you can

buy a meta Quest 3 for like $700 and you

can use it as a really good pcvr headset

even wirelessly hell even if you don't

have a PC setup there is enough software

and support that you can use that far

more efficiently and effectively than

this device even if the quality of the

pass through and some of the tracking

isn't there just the amount of stuff you

can do with oculus as product versus

Apple because one is very very much open

and one is very much closed is

staggering at this point and honestly

it's one of those things where I feel

like even for the most DieHard Apple fan

they have to kind of sit there and say

yeah I wish they would change muda I

wish they would open things up but of

course this is basically where we're

coming to the end of all this the Apple

Vision Pro is probably the best worst

product that I've ever used it is great

in the sense that the hardware genuinely

blows me away I wish that there was a PC

manufacturer some open standard

manufactur that had this level of

quality for the hardware but Apple

destroys it when it comes to the

software it's cool Tech it's cool stuff

but honestly for

$3,500 messaging your friends browsing

Reddit browsing a few pages is just not

that worth it and even when you really

think about it right when you're like

browsing the internet again it's cool

but when you're messaging somebody

instead of using a augmented reality

keyboard I found myself even with the

thing on to just whip out my phone and

start messaging from there it's truly

wild but again ladies and gentlemen I

wanted to really talk about the Apple

Vision Pro I wanted to share my uh

thoughts on it and even though I'm a

little late on this I want to just say

I've used this the most that I can and I

feel like I the review that I'm

providing is one that comes from

somebody that has really given this

thing a fair shake and from somebody

that is a VR efficient Auto that said

ladies and gentlemen I I doubt that if

if you already weren't buying this for

$3,500 you probably won't buy it anyways

but for anybody seriously considering it

I don't even think it's a matter of

waiting for the Vision Pro 2 or three or

four or five it's just a matter of

getting Apple to at least open this

thing up for you to actually have some

real tangible to do with it that

said though ladies and gentlemen this is

me mudahar and if you like what you saw
