Apple Vision Pro Launches: 'The Era of Spatial Computing Has Arrived'
Perhaps we can use this thread to once and for all make your future predictions about the Apple Vision Pro. Just to record it for all time... :) My prediction: Apple is long-term committed to this project. As many have pointed out, it doesn't really replace anything, so Apple is at the very...forums.macrumors.com
😂
Who says that investigative journalism is dead?!
Clearly they learned nothing from the utter failure that was 3DTV.
Apple only needs to find about a million people who can afford this out of the 8.1 billion people on Earth. So that means only one person in 8,100 buys this.
OK, that is not fair because the product is not for sale worldwide. But still, Apple only needs one person in a thousand to buy this
I think this speaks to a broader issue within Apple that needs to be addressed. I think they live in a bubble there at Apple Park. The promotional material that Apple released about the Vision Pro was evidence of that. A woman wearing her headset in a dimly lit room while packing/unpacking her travel bag, the dad wearing the Vision Pro at his kid’s birthday… Either these commercials were meant to be incredibly aspirational, or Apple is that far removed from the market at large.
The Vision Pro has the appearance of textbook sunk cost fallacy.
For Apple’s own good, I think they need to address the aforementioned “bubble” problem.

But but but TC told us that the VP goggles were as groundbreaking as the first Macintosh and iPhone. I don’t understand
Huh? How can you say "the currently reported cuts don't seem to be related to manufacturing" when the article you linked to discusses how manufacturing is going to be a major limiting factor to what they could do in the first year?It was 1M at one point, and they had to cut it down due to production difficulties:
“Both projections imply a significant cut to production from an earlier, internal sales target of 1mn units in the first 12 months.”
Apple forced to make major cuts to Vision Pro headset production plans
Initial hopes of 1mn shipments in 2024 launch year dashed by manufacturing problemswww.ft.com
The currently reported cuts don’t seem to be related to manufacturing issues.
So again, this "rumor" seems based in nothing that we didn't already expect.
Again (and again) I said "if they can produce them." And you're taking this rumor as credible much more than I am.
Well I mean, the rumors I give credence to don't lead me to conclude that Apple that will sell 750k AVPs this year. Perhaps that's a signal that you should re-evaluate which rumors you consider credible and those which you do not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
first of all, have you seen with the pymax headsets look like “huge” avp looks small compared to them - and 2 avp is fully vr capable … Apple is choosing not to market it as a VR headset first because it saw how much of a disaster that was for every other company doing VR headsets they want to get this thing in trenched and business first and then trickle it down to consumers I think it makes sense to try this considering how badly other VR headsets did. - still trying to figure this out
Man) just made a similar move where they basically are trying to make themselves the middleware for all of vr/xr - my jerk move honestly
Vision Pro is best in class in AR/VR headsets. My comment is not unique to just Apple product.
In general AR/VR devices extend our experiences positively beyond the world we know of. What is possible with these devices is not comparable with the world we know of
Frankly anyone’s judgment without having experienced at least 10 to 15 unique use cases on this device is questionable.
Experiences and possibilities are endless. It is so difficult to explain this as each implementation is so different in usage of AR, VR, combination, interaction and so on and then add to that sports, music, training, medical, education, art, museums, sight seeing ….. you see infinite possibilities
As a very trivial example, I have seen 4 implementation of shopping experiences and all different, unique and awesome
I can write endlessly about this but it is not possible. It is not one or two or 100 things to sum up the flexibility and power of such a device
I know people complain about price. I easily pay few hundreds to see Taylor Swift concert or Superbowl on this device even easily pay $$ to see a Van Gogh interactive show. And frankly based on implementation experience with a headset will be superior to an in person one!
Standing by the goal post at the time of a corner kick in a championship soccer match is something no one at the stadium get to experience!!!!

Yeah, the person that said,”we should expect two iPad Air tablets to be manufactured by Apple during the first quarter of 2024.” suddenly knows that Apple expected to sell more than 250,000 devices this year.
This is a great gizmo that would better be left to a science museum. Buy a ticket, experience the whole museum and get a hands-on try with the Vision Pro. That would about sum up my desires. Oh wait, there’s the Apple Store for that…
I understand Apple wants to change the world with a new product category, while they have been doing that and not listening to consumers - the magic has gone.
I can’t remember the last time I was very excited for something Apple released - even their accessories are boring now.

You’d still hate it at $1000 after a month or two. There’s nothing to do.
I love my vision pro but honestly I don't pull it out much because for me, the use case is mostly content consumption for now. I really wish it did more. I think that's the main problem. Yes, it's expensive and the best vr headset I have ever used but it needs something more compelling than just watching movies and visiting museums.

Now, Tim Apple, cut your losses and cancel it, announce your resignation and let's all move on.
