Did The Simpsons predict that Apple would release the Vision Pro?

The legendary television show ‘The Simpsons’ seems to have predicted another future invention. In 2016, the episode titled «Friends and Family» gave viewers a glimpse into the future, showing various technological advancements. Surprisingly, one of these predictions appears to be the revolutionary device known as the Apple Vision Pro.

The episode features the residents of the city of Springfield wearing futuristic glasses that display information directly in their field of vision. Shortly after, the city is plunged into chaos when the characters lose consciousness of space, causing accidents with the devices by crashing into light poles and falling into the sewers.

Although some describe The Simpsons as a clairvoyant program , the creators of the series have repeatedly assured that the predictions made are mere coincidences.

Reality reflects fiction

Since its launch, the Apple Vision Pro has been a hot topic among tech fans , who have shared experiences that seem like they were taken from an episode of “Black Mirror.”

The futuristic glasses shown in the Simpsons season 28 episode «Friends and Family» have very similar features to Apple’s augmented reality device, such as the ability to display real-time information in front of the user’s eyes.

The famous owner of Moe’s Tavern is shown trying to locate a place through his glasses when he unexpectedly collides with a light pole. In the same episode, Homer and Marge Simpson fall into a deep sleep with their headsets interconnected.

During their dreams, the series’ protagonist couple share a tender kiss and enjoy their romance in an alternative world. In the next scene, a real representation is shown in which pedestrians are surprised to see individuals with futuristic glasses walking through the city.

It is estimated that, in the not too distant future, people will be interacting more and more with these augmented reality viewers.

Previous Simpsons Predictions

The Simpsons, the famous television series created by Matt Groening, has been known over the years for its ability to predict future events in surprising ways. Although many believe that these are just coincidences, the number of correct predictions has left more than one perplexed.

One of the most famous examples is the prediction of Donald Trump’s presidency . In an episode broadcast in 2000, Lisa Simpson is shown as president of the United States after having inherited a collapsed economy from Trump’s mandate. Almost twenty years later, Trump would become the 45th president of the United States.

Other examples include predicting the Ebola outbreak in 1997, the NSA leak scandal in 2007, the design of the smart watch in 1995, and even Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox in 1998.

Although it is difficult to explain how The Simpsons has achieved so many accurate predictions, some argue that it is a combination of a wide range of themes covered by the series, its ability to satirize society, and its longevity on screen.

In short, The Simpsons have proven to be leaders in accurate predictions over the years. Whether by coincidence or deep knowledge of popular culture, his ability to anticipate future events has captured the attention of millions of viewers around the world.
