Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I'm thinking of buying an apple vision pro the demo, but I have 2 questions. I have multiple family members and I don't want to use over 10,000$ on separate vision pros.... I was wondering if you can have multiple IDs on one Vision Pro and if I will need separate light seals for different family members or if they can just use mine for everybody.
Apple Vision Pro
I have a HUGE problem with this feature of Apple Vision Pro. Apple needs to change this. I realize that Vision Pro is different than previous products in that it adjusts to a person’s eye width, and I have to quickly swap out the light seal to fit my face. Ya, I get that. But Mac computers have multiple users and I can pick up my husband’s phone at any time and use it with my Face ID. I’d like to be able to use the Vision Pro without having to wake him up or interrupt him while he’s working so he can give me guest access. It only takes me 15 seconds to swap out the light seal, but it takes forever to get guest access. Why can’t I just put it on, hit the Digital Crown, have it notice that my eyes aren’t aligned, and run through an alignment step really quickly and then immediately jump to a retina scan to confirm the user? All of my info would be linked to my retina and I wouldn’t have to scan my hands and look at the dots every time. It should be able to be programmed to notice something is off with eye alignment and immediately jump to that step. That wouldn’t take any longer than it takes me to log my husband out of his MacBook Pro and then select my user account.

This needs to be a priority as soon as possible. My spouse should not be a "guest" user. I am happy to spend $ to buy lenses for my spouse. Rights management should be simple and consistent with the Apple ecosystem: primary AppleID associated with the device, other users granted rights by primary. The "guest" user function for others folks will remain. But my spouse, kid, mom, whomever, should be enabled to have her own AppleID with optical verification and security stack for her own purchases and all of that. Accelerating acceptance of the product requires more users getting hooked on the experience in my view, not to sell more individual units to individuals, but to get more households on board. Make it easier, please.

Vision Pro does not do what you want.
It’s not multi-user, it’s you and a guest, and the guest will need to recalibrate.
No. Vision Pro is not multi-user. It’s you, and a guest user.
Per Apple: Let others use your Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support
Guest users may need to adjust the fit, or they may need a different size Light Seal or head band
Let others use your Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support
That’s correct.

No one participating in this user-to-user forum can make this "a priority". You can, however, let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

I think Apple has a pretty good track record on getting people to accept new products so I'd say they know what they're doing.

It might be a feature that gets added later in a future OS update. Apple TV didn’t always have multi user. HomePods were introduced without it as well.
And iPads and iPhones are still single user... So, who knows?

Thank you very much!
You’re welcome

Exactly, we don’t know. There might be valid reasons not to add it and we aren’t privy to it.
Can you have multiple IDs on the Vision Pro? Do you also have to buy another light seal if a family member will be using it?
