Future-gen Apple Vision Pro may replace the iPad – Gurman

Watching “Masters of the Air” with Apple Vision Pro
Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman’s first takeaway from using the Apple Vision Pro is that a lower-priced future version may eventually replace the iPad. After all, many people buy Apple’s tablets just for these kinds of activities — movies, video chats and basic tasks.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
‎

There’s a lot to digest when using the Vision Pro — the hardware, its setup process and the new operating system — and it’s impossible to provide an in-depth review after one weekend. But my first impressions are that this device is going to be the ultimate movie-watching gadget, a great videoconferencing machine and an alternative to laptops for light computing on the go.
If that sounds familiar, the same things have been said about the iPad. And that’s not a bad thing. My first takeaway from using the Vision Pro is that some future version may eventually replace the iPad…
Another surprise: Using the Vision Pro as an external monitor for a Mac is downright phenomenal. I wish it could work with multiple Mac windows at once, but I’d expect that capability to come later on…
For now, I’m going to treat my Vision Pro like a new iPad and report back later on how it’s going.

MacDailyNews Take: It makes perfect sense, even if it seriously lacks imagination, to use Vision pro as an iPad replacement. After all, what’s Apple’s most superfluous OS? iPadOS. Apple Vision Pro neatly replaces and/or improves upon iPad’s most-used features. We suspect Gurman, as the rest of us, will come to use Vision Pro as much more than just a mere “iPad replacement” as we all spend more time with Apple’s new spatial computer.
