Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Eldest Son Expresses Desire to Get His Hands on New Apple Tech Priced at $3499: “No Reason to Get It but I Really Want To”

The eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger keeps himself up-to-date with the latest trends. Whether it’s the latest in baseball, basketball, cinema, or tech, Schwarzenegger often posts his opinions on X (Twitter). Since anything Apple launches turns into a trend, the 30-year-old is aware of the buzz surrounding Apple’s venture into ‘spatial computing.’

The Apple Vision Pro has caused a furor in the tech community, more so, beyond it for its cultural implications. Notorious for their clever marketing, Apple prefers you call their tech ‘spatial computing’ instead of the industry standard ‘virtual reality.’ This, perhaps, only increases the sense of exclusivity of their products, even those that already cost $3499. Patrick Schwarzenegger is itching to get his hands on one.

A tug-of-war between responsibility and impulse

Despite the Apple Vision Pro being their first foray into the virtual reality space, the company has introduced many segment firsts. While the $3499 price tag might not be that much of a hindrance for the 30-year-old Gen V actor, he is still unwilling to make an impulsive purchase. “Apple is creating serious FOMO with the Vision Pro,” wrote the bodybuilding icon’s son.

However, he added, “I have no reason to get it but I want to.” Although Schwarzenegger is a millionaire, the Midnight Sun actor knows better than to spend just for the sake of spending. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have raised their children to be responsible. And so, it seems the actor doesn’t want to spend on something he’ll barely use in the long run.

Apple prides itself on making connected tech. Besides launching multiple products, the American tech giant also focuses on meshing their devices in an ecosystem. However, even the promise of another addition to Apple’s walled garden has yet to convince Patrick Schwarzenegger. Meanwhile, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself doesn’t even use a smartphone.

How does Arnold Schwarzenegger communicate?

While Patrick Schwarzenegger might be tech-savvy, Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t even own a smartphone. While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2022, Arnie’s eldest son said his father doesn’t see a phone. Besides feeling that calling people is a waste of time, Schwarzenegger’s thumbs are too big according to his son.

If you’re wondering how the bodybuilding icon communicates, then the answer is another Apple product, the iPad. Since Schwarzenegger prefers seeing the face of the person he communicates with, the 76-year-old always FaceTimes people. Other celebrities who worked with Arnold have also said that Arnie only talks through FaceTime.

Buying the Apple Vision Pro might not be a big deal for the millionaire son of Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, the lessons he learned from his parents and understanding how hard Arnie had to work to earn his $450 million net worth, keep him from making rash decisions.
