This might be my only chance to get a smaller sized iPhone going forward. Love my 13 mini, but it seems like Apple is only going to keep increasing screen size on future models.

Any idea when the official launch will be? I know Testflight is pretty easy to set up, but I'll probably wait till I can get v 1.0.

Honestly, I'm fine with this. I think most applications will be generally stationary experiences, and there's no reason this can't be adjusted or Apple introduce an "active mode" in the future for cases where it's needed.

What I'm happy about is not having to physically define or draw a boundary every time the headset is used. My Quest often loses track of its boundary and needs to have it redrawn.

+1 for Arc!

I think one of the big differences will be with the speakers. If they make the standard model require AirPods, they can eliminate speakers entirely and save significantly on cost.

Another possibility is moving from metal to plastic for the frame design. This saves on cost and weight. They could also take out the 3D camera.

I strongly believe they won't compromise on the display resolution or the EyeSight feature, though it's possible they'll be able to fake the lenticular effect using software and opt for a simpler outward-facing display.

Agreed. This is the one suggestion I think the article gets wrong – Apple has established this display resolution as the minimum for an immersive experience, and I don't think they'll go down from here.

What I was surprised to see not considered is materials choice. I think Apple could do plastic for a non-Pro Vision device, to save on weight and cost.

I also think the non-Pro version isn't coming until the second generation, at which point it will likely have most of the features of this Pro version while the Pro gets upgraded.

SUCH a huge improvement. Except, Steam will no longer allow me to move my window onto another monitor. It constrains it to my main monitor :/
