OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman recently shared his enthusiasm for the AAPL mixed reality headset, Apple Vision Pro. Altman stated, “Vision Pro is second most impressive tech since the iPhone,” joining other prominent figures such as former Apple CEO John Sculley and acclaimed movie director James Cameron who have also endorsed the device.
What Happened: Altman expressed his excitement about the Vision Pro, which recently went on sale for $3,500. His sentiments add to the growing acclaim surrounding Apple’s latest product.
Acclaimed movie director James Cameron was also effusive in his praise for the Vision Pro, stating, “I was really, really blown away,” in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Former Apple CEO John Sculley was equally generous with his praise, likening the Vision Pro to the iconic iPhone. He acknowledged the extraordinary accomplishment of Apple’s development team, drawing from his experience working with Steve Jobs during the inception of the Macintosh.
Why It Matters: The Apple Vision Pro has garnered widespread attention since its availability for pre-order in January. Analysts have been astounded by the reception of the Vision Pro, with pre-orders surpassing initial industry projections. Notably, Apple managed to sell nearly 180,000 units through pre-orders, significantly outstripping analyst forecasts of 70,000 to 80,000 units.
Furthermore, early adopters have been showcasing the Vision Pro’s revolutionary capabilities on social media platforms. Tech magnate Elon Musk also weighed in on the discussion, acknowledging the benefits of pairing the device with X, despite having expressed reservations about the headset earlier.
