Apple Vision Pro (M5) Review: A Chill, Yet Ambitious Upgrade
The Apple Vision Pro's second coming is a subtle, yet significant improvement. It's a low-key arrival, but don't let that fool you. This device is a powerhouse, packed with Apple's latest M5 chip, offering higher refresh rates and improved battery life. While it's not a radical redesign, it's a substantial upgrade that's comfortable and functional.
The Vision Pro's initial quest to redefine computing with lifelike face scans and immersive photography remains, but it's now a secondary focus. The real magic lies in its ability to provide an immersive home cinema experience, with a growing library of custom-made content, including notable highlights like Edward Berger's Submerged and Canal+'s Tour De Force.
Despite its limitations, the Vision Pro is a compelling entertainment device. It's perfect for watching movies on a cinema-sized screen and even offers a unique way to experience sports, like the NBA's LA Lakers games. However, it's not without its quirks, like the absence of a YouTube app, which remains a mystery.
The Vision Pro's future lies in entertainment, and while it's not revolutionary yet, it's a device that can be surprisingly enjoyable. It's a device that's good for both blockbuster visuals and pilot training, and with further development, it might even live up to the hype.
