What's the world going to look like with Apple Vision Pro? 🕶️
It's going to be interesting to sit back and watch how it plays out. Apple are very good at doing exactly the same "sitting back and watching" whilst secretly crafting something that is beautiful and polished, and that is exactly what they have done with Vision Pro; we have seen it across the decades of beautiful products.
My opinion is that the uptake of the product will be small, especially given the price range, but I believe that is intentional. If they wanted to distribute millions of products, they could, but I don't think they want to. In the end, they want a small slice of the market to buy the product and start providing valuable feedback for the next generation of product lineup.
It also means they give plenty of time for the developer community to start building beautiful apps alongside.
I think it's going to take a considerable amount of time before this product is in the hands of the masses, but I believe that is intentional.
I have not touched or even spent a significant amount of time with visionOS but, I am excited to see what the future brings there.
Have a great week ahead 🫶🏼

Highlighting package funding links by Swift Package Index Blog
This is a superb initiative by the team behind Swift Package Index, highlighting frameworks that we all rely on each day to offer a small sponsorship or a "thank you". Often, these frameworks are built by the community for free with no incentive to monetize in the future, a small gesture goes a long way!
