Traveling with Apple Vision Pro

Maybe the devices found their target audience: airlines

Airlines spend a fortune moving screen and other kit needed for in-flight entertainment around: the fuel costs alone can be low seven figures a year for that added weight. And then are the content licenses.

Meanwhile customers are turning up with devices with their own licensed content (they’ve already paid the streaming services or paid for the download), but can’t use it on the plane.

It’s pretty obvious what should happen, and what eventually will, but it’ll take a while.

too expensive and fragile for airlines themselves, at least outside of first class, but I think air travel is a killer app.

I do find the idea of a plane full of goggled humans packed in like sardines to be a touch dystopian, but I feel that way about the infotainment screens already.
