I currently have no use for spatial photos, can’t justify the price of the Vision Pro headset, and really don’t have a reason to have strong motivation.

Looking back at old family photos, I see sepia from my parents, faded from when I was a kid, and low rez/faded even from when my kids were little, looking across that timeline, the march of technology is clear. Older photos are noticeably older (even when not printed).

However I have a phone that can take spatial pictures and has extra storage, and I just had to raise my iCloud storage. Assuming spatial photos and videos becomes commonplace, it will be another noticeable jump in photo technology. Reviewers of the Vision Pro rave about them

Do you think

  • spatial photos will become common/normal, or are just a fad like 3D tv?
  • is there a standard format or is it Apple specific?
  • it’s worth getting a jump on the technology for personal photos, even without a use yet? Presumably I will have a use at such time as I look back on personal photos

I thought I read that the vision pro with a warranty is $4000? I have no interest regardless of the price so I haven't looked into it at all and could be wrong

Tbh until today I thought it was $1800 for some reason. I just learned it was actually $3500 and you are correct about $4000 if you add 2 years of AppleCare+
