  1. Apple has absolutely zero stake in whether reality becomes dystopic based on their product or not. You can make a strong argument that the iPhone was the greatest contributing factor to the mental health epidemic we are experiencing. Apple doesn't care; full steam ahead!

  2. Warning people to not get lost in VR gaming and to use it specifically for productive and recreational means? I feel like people are way too into video games as it is and if these headsets get any more real (think meta in 20 years when it’s on the vision pro’s level) the dystopian world will exist in full

  3. It’s to show that VR JUST is bad but something that combines VR and AR is good.
    It’s kind of a diss on VR headset manufacturers like meta.

  4. It can honestly be a Column A, Column B situation: The cinematic technique is an effective way to convey the product, but capitalism is also notorious for being tone deaf like nothing else (when they arent being intentionally audacious).

    Shoutout to the Dodge Super Bowl ad that used one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches to sell their trucks.

  5. It was one of those "hidden in explicit words confessions" that the characters only understand at the end of the movie when there is nothing they can do to avoid the terrible finale. That apple is a bad Apple, an evil, cold Apple. I can already imagine the evil laughter yelling, "We warned you"😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

  6. The metaverse, VR, AR, all sorts of immersive experiences, it always feels like a build up to Ready Player one for me

  7. Reminds me of one of my favorite Twitter quotes:
    "Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

    Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus"

  8. What are you smokin, Bruh. Obviously, Apple isn’t trying to position the successor to the iPhone as the cause of the downfall of society. 🙄

  9. I take it, if intentional, as a slight dig at Meta, whose vision for the future is a ready player one style virtual world we exist in, and spend as much time in as possible to be served ads and microtransactions.

    Apple’s vision of the future is one in which OUR world is enhanced.

  10. I saw it, but just like on the movie, it has always been our destiny to travel across realities. Some people will get lost, and i feel sorry for them, but many people will make it an opportunity to succeed in one reality or in many.

  11. Until we can play video games in VR like Player Number One, I don't think we'll be having that issue just yet. We would definitely have an issue when we reach Sword Art Online level VR tho.

  12. It could be because Apple is trying to signal that since it has lots of tech to keep you in touch with the real world, that the dystopian things that happened in the movie won’t happen with their headset.

  13. They make movies about it then create it it’s an agenda meaning it’s a plan am I the only one getting this? They show it in movies first then bring it to the real world and you will think it’s normal because you saw it in a movie

  14. APPLE: "This Vision Pro tech paired with AI advancements will ultimately spiral society towards dystopian doom. Either way, we will be the ones to introduce how to do it with style and, let's not forget, MAGIC! Shareholders…. BUCKLE UP!!!"

  15. It’s a cool reference but it’s not only a VR headset it’s also AR so it’s not as bad as completely cutting off from the real world in Ready Player One because you can actually still see the world in the Apple headset if you want to 😂

  16. It is their subtle way of saying “This is why the battery life is only 2 hours so you can’t stay plugged in forever.”
