Hello. Sorry to call you out of the blue. No, no, nothing serious. I’m fine. I wanted to apologize for scaring you last time. I wasn’t myself. But I have changed. Honestly, I don’t even know who I was back then. It was all very new. I have worked on myself and I think the results speak for themselves.
I am really a new person.
I can’t take all the credit, of course. I didn’t do it alone. If anything, it was the VisionOS 1.1 update that showed me that I still have the ability to grow. I am a more aware person. Less rough around the edges. I won’t lie, I still have a lot of work to do on myself, but it’s hard to deny that things are moving in the right direction.
I can tell you agree by the fact that you’re making a normal FaceTime call without stopping every few seconds to tell me how weird my Apple Vision Pro Persona looks. I wouldn’t call my new face flattering by any stretch of the imagination, but at least I look somewhat human now. My hair still looks weird, just in a different way. My glasses still hover, translucent silhouettes. Things still go a little pear-shaped when I scratch my nose with my hand.

The update was released yesterday and I downloaded it this morning. The headset made me re-enroll my face to get this new Persona — and honestly, it’s for the best. This version of my face is a little less blurry and my eyes aren’t nearly as dead. I’m not saying my new face definitely won’t scare the kids, but I don’t think they’ll lose much sleep over it.
I should mention that even in iteration 1.1, the Persona feature is still technically in beta — albeit a beta open to anyone with Vision Pro. At the very least, it signals Apple’s awareness that there’s still a lot of work to be done. Life is a process.
That’s really what I wanted to say. Thanks for listening. See you when 1.2 comes.
