What do you mean it's not that much higher? It's well over double the resolution. That's a lot.

And there's the other aspects, apple has Micro-OLED panels Vs LCD, virtually zero screen door effect, very very good video passthrough, very low latency on the passthrough. Plus a bunch of other crap.

But it doesn't really matter, they're not comparable. The vision pro, to me, seems more like an engineering exercise on Apple's part, mixed with a Dev kit to put out in developers hands. It's not meant to compete against a $500 gaming and porn consumption headset.

The vision pro is a cool engineering marvel. But it has no real place in the market for any normal person. Nobody outside of devs banking on future Apple VR should buy it.
