That makes you a potential customer, once the price and features become more compelling for you.
The ones who say they'll never use it ever, even if they're paid to wear it are going to be a harder sell.

Or a room with family or friends watching together.
Unless your first name is Tim and you hand out AVPs like chips.
The last Apple sales pitch I recall that challenged basic plausibility was from Steve. He tried his best to convince everyone that he binned his existing audio system for the iPod Hifi.
Whoah! That price means Im going to be using my M1 MBP for quite a few more years! Let me look again. Ouch! How much is the 16-inch one? Oh, my....
There are other options. If money were no object, then maybe, but I already spent that money on an Apple Vision Pro, so no thank you... not at that price.
Big Tim, he made apple fat and his customers sad.
Seriously, all core brand values sold out, support has turned into a joke (except for second level)
Cost cutting, shareholders love it, customers don’t.
Strange how the biggest tech player does not play fair with taxes i.e.
And does not protect us from any data kraken…
Customer satisfaction at all time low…
// The fanboys get bitchy right now! \\

Blatantly missing: an image of him wearing it.
They know. They know it’s a dork helmet. This nonsense about Cook using it every day? Marketing. Not real.

"It'sinteresting to watch people, the reaction that they have," he said. "You know many of them tear up."
I guess an internal version of iSight is able to mimic tears? Could be a rare slip up where Cook inadvertently leaks proprietary info.

Even then the system isn’t capable at the moment of streaming the same content to several headsets.
Tim uses the Dark Vader helmet everyday, and he recommends us to follow. May the force be with you Tim.
How would you know it is nonsense????? Do you always go for the negative when reading a post?
Have you even tried it , to know it's " Not Good"?
Is Tim walking around Apple Park with a Vision Pro strapped to his face. I doubt it.
Well, life is actually pretty sad for quite a few people. And for most of those, the world doesn't appear to be getting less sad, unfortunately. But, yeah, very few of them have $3500 to spare, either.
If true, it is further proof that Apple lives in a bubble over there at Apple Park.
Thing is, people drop that kind of cash on all sorts of things all the time. I really don’t think the price is the primary issue. If the device were actually really compelling the buyers would be there for it.
It seems pretty disingenuous to me to pretend like any significant portion of MacBook buyers are buying a loaded out Pro model with an M3 Max. The best selling MacBook is the Air, almost no one is buying a $3500 macbook. When there is a MacBook Air equivalent of this device, it will sell quite well. Price and weight are the biggest problems.
Yes. Eye fatigue and weight won't work for the average user. You can't just jump in and start using Vision Pro to check email and message like you can on Mac and iPad. For entertainment, the device isn't attractive unless the user is a loner or traveling on plane.
The store demo is excellent, but the average consumer will ask, "how can I really use this in life?"
Consumers understand why a M3 Max MBP 16 is worth $3,500. They don't question its existence.
But even at half the weight and price, consumers will ask, why should I strap something to my face and isolate myself? The inability for Apple to answer that question with a killer app means this won't sell well at $3,500 or $1,500.
I am sorry no I have not, the ordering process is a nightmare, there is no one size fits all. Than there is weight or to quote Elvis:
"If you let your head get too big, it’ll break your neck."
Do not forget the motion sickness saga, but we will leave that for the courts!
Sorry Cook & the Apple Fan Boys this fashion statement died in the 80s.
