Apple Vision Pro Unboxing: Member Video

In this hour-long unboxing video, I experience the Apple Vision Pro for the first time, test Shortcuts, and give my initial impressions โ€“ for members only.

Hey members! I have a special new video for you โ€“ my unboxing experience with the Apple Vision Pro, available now privately through YouTube.

Hey members! I have a special new video for you โ€“ my unboxing experience with the Apple Vision Pro, available now privately through YouTube.

Coming in at a little under an hour, I tried to capture a simple walkthrough and first-run experience with the device โ€“ complete with small observations, initial confusions, and the inevitable screen recording issues.

Iโ€™ve included chapter markers so you can jump through and watch the most interesting bits, and will clip out my favorite moments as well โ€“ for example, the first good screen recording starts at 35:22 in.

Admittedly, this may not be a thriller to watch from start to finish; but, I am experimenting with deeper access videos like this, as well as testing different filming techniques or editing processes โ€“ this is shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio, for example. Plus, since I donโ€™t have to optimize for a massive audience or โ€œthe algorithm,โ€ I can be a little more relaxed and natural, like the way I settle into things during livestreams.

I loved this initial test of a members-only video, and I hope you enjoy it too โ€“ let me know if youโ€™d like to see other videos like this in the future!

  • Prerelease notes & workflows I’m putting together
