Apple’s new CEO John Ternus recently gave an extensive interview to French outlet Clique TV, offering the strongest defense yet for the Apple Vision Pro. The device remains a technological marvel despite limited commercial success compared to iPhone and iPad. Ternus compared the headset to the early days of personal computers, arguing it is the foundation for a long journey ahead.

He cited specific professional uses, noting surgeons are adopting it as a fundamentally better tool than traditional monitors. Film production teams are also using Vision Pro for set development. Ternus invoked Tim Cook’s earlier sentiment of viewing the product as an "early adopter product," but framed it as the nascent stage of spatial computing.

He believes the dream of lightweight glasses offering full spatial features is years away, but the Vision Pro will be a key part of that future. The full interview is available on YouTube. Fans are debating if the device is a test, a flop, or the first step toward the future of computing.
