The fact that the vast majority of quality mobile apps in existence are iOS only, because development and distribution on Android are complete and utter dogshit.
Why would you dedicate yourself to maintaining an app if there is no market and the current hardware is experimental?
Nothing you build will be compatible with v2 but the experience you have with v1 gives you a huge leg up in the learning curve. Wether thats worth it depends on the person.
I got my pico vr for this reason, i want to get a feel for how things are evolving so i dont start a path of turning tech illiterate like my peers.
Pico is also much cheaper then apple and support custom apk
Mandatory meta/fb account which i am very glad to have gotten rid off some time before that.
Not like i trust the Chinese for not spying but they are less likely to be interested in my data as opposed to chinese people living in the west.
Also did i mention apk support. Not sure if quest does. This thing can do piracy digital archiving , got moded beat saber working on device and officially its not even supported Hardware.
Another reason was bigger FOV but i am not about the latest quest in comparison.
They were a $3500 dev-kit to enable some base level of preparation when the costs come down. They were never going to be mainstream.
A dev kit with no physical controllers? You would think developers want precise controlls? Or a usb port? Or proper dev tools? Or a full API?
Why would they provide physical controllers on the early version when the mass market won’t have physical controllers?
Apple’s dev tools are fine. It’s not dumb luck that’s the reason iPhone’s software ecosystem takes a giant shit all over android’s.
as a cross platform app developer myself… what the fuck are you talking about?

Has any significant 3rd party apps been made for it?
Lapz seems like a cool concept (although I don’t follow F1 myself), but it got put on hold because legal https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/24301420/apple-vision-pro-viral-lapz-app-f1-complaint
At the reveal they were talking about using Apollo on it.
That worked out great…
