I have been bound to bed for the last two weeks. This has been game changer for me. I have been wearing it for 6 to 8 hours a day without any problems.

lol…this post has less than a dozen comments…me thinks the honey moon is over and the YouTube influencers have returned their rentals
Did you seriously come to that conclusion based upon the number of responses to an article that indicates a new software version? Just what kind of responses were you looking for? To quote you, "me thinks" that the tone of the post is more of an illogical attempt to denigrate a product and it's owners than anything else.

And a minimally keen observer would realize that one big reason for limited responses are that so many AVP owners have largely stayed away for the site. We are simply sick and tired of trying to read any AVP related topic and finding the thread littered with hateful and insulting comments against AVP and it's owners.

The amount of comments on here for Vision Pro really I think shows how much volume Apple has produced. Hoping V OS 2.0 is amazing as I like the current iteration but there is a lot more I think it could do.
What are we supposed to comment about? according to this article 1.2 changes nothing lol. apparently 1.1.2 was a bigger update lol
