I had a pair that I ended up returning [1]. I think about them often, multiple times a week when I’m using my laptop or tablet. I felt incredibly productive with the AVP when writing code away from my main computer. And they were just really cool/fun to use. I hope to get the second iteration if Apple continues to make them [2].
[1] I bought them because I had several app ideas for AVP that I wanted to explore, but right after they arrived I promptly signed a new client and couldn’t justify the extra time to learn Swift and AVP dev. I decided to return the AVP before the refund window expired.
[2] I realize the irony of hoping Apple continues to make the AVP when the act of returning mine may end up helping contribute to its downfall.
Ever recorded any metrics? I wonder how much of your "feeling" productive is real.
