The Vision Pro didn’t flop—it just wasn’t made for you.

But for digital nomads and creative pros? It’s the best portable office ever made.

Why the Vision Pro may be a commercial dud for casual users—but a life-changing tool for remote-working designers and digital nomads.

When Apple quietly paused production on the first-gen Vision Pro, the internet pounced.

“Flop!”

“Failure!”

“Into the Apple graveyard it goes.”

They’re not wrong—if you define success by mass adoption or press hype.

But here’s the thing: the Vision Pro isn’t for the masses. Not yet.

It’s for a small, weird, wonderful group of people.

People like me—and maybe you.

1. A monitor you can pack

I’m on the move 3–6 months at a time. I don’t have a home office with plants, ambient lighting, and a $1,500 ergonomic chair. I have Airbnbs, trains, cafés, and the occasional uncomfortable kitchen table.

And I used to dream of lugging a 32” display around with me.

Now I don’t have to.

The Vision Pro gives me an 80-inch high-res display anywhere I go. I work in deep focus from a couch in Budapest or a coffee shop in Porto. No setup. No clutter. Just immersive productivity on demand.

It’s not a toy—it’s my studio.

2. Worth the price (for the right people)

Yes, it’s $4,000.

Yes, it’s a bit bulky.

No, it’s not made for casual Netflix or gaming.

But if you’re a creator or remote worker who needs a powerful visual setup on the go, it’s actually a better deal than Apple’s $5K Pro Display XDR. That thing doesn’t even fit in a backpack.

For people like me—who work from anywhere, need deep focus, and don’t want to be chained to a desk—it’s a steal.

3. How I actually use it

Not for pinching or eye-tracking or poking at floating UI widgets.

I mirror my MacBook screen, then float everything else around it—Slack, calendar, to-dos, whatever I need visible but not front and center. It’s like having six monitors without needing six monitors.

It’s perfect for:

• deep work
• multitasking
• meetings (yep, especially when you don’t want to fix your lighting or change your shirt)

Also? No one can see your screen in public.

Built-in privacy? Yes, please.

4. The immersive solo office

If you live alone, travel often, or work from subpar environments, Vision Pro lets you block it all out and build your perfect workspace anywhere.

It’s not social. It’s not shareable.

It’s not for watching movies with friends.

It’s for people who want to go into the zone—alone.

And that’s kind of beautiful.

5. This is what disruption looks like

Remember the first iPad? Everyone asked, “what is this even for?”

Now it’s essential.

That’s what Vision Pro is—just a few years early.

Once it’s lighter, cheaper, and shaped like glasses, it’s going to replace the smartphone. But for now, it’s for creators, digital nomads, and professionals who understand the value of deep, portable focus.

The rest of the world will catch up.
