They should offer the discount to registered developers as well if they want to encourage more developers to buy and build apps for the platform. If anything, Apple probably needs developer support for the Vision Pro now more than ever.
Said by someone who has never touched one. Glad you are so confident.You know what’s mad, even with 50% off at 1750 it’s still way over priced over the quest pro etc, I still doubt many people would pay that, it just shows the £3500 asking price is absurd
They’ll recycle it for free!Can't wait to see what its trade in value is in 2025.🥲
Buy two but leave one unboxed for 30 years. The profit should cover the initial outlay..Can't wait to see what its trade in value is in 2025.🥲
I remember something similar being said about the iPhone and cheap android handsets as well.You know what’s mad, even with 50% off at 1750 it’s still way over priced over the quest pro etc, I still doubt many people would pay that, it just shows the £3500 asking price is absurd
Discounts? On Apple Products? 25%!?! They know its not gonna sell. We all know what happend to the Homepod...and sadly the Apple Watch now.
Extremely generous for a multi-trillion dollar org? Not really. Generous? Sure.
We sell our 3 year old MacBook Pros to employees for their personal (or family) use at $250 each.
THAT is extremely generous.
Not true. Those sold in very high numbers.Yes, we do... and the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Watch, AirPods... All flops. As predicted here when released.
Had every vr head set on the market and none are good enough to watch a movie on you just want to take it over time, even reviews for Vision Pro say it’s to heavy so no change. Human heads are not made for heavy headsetsThey’ll recycle it for free!
The point is for advertisement. Apple employees evangelize Apple products more than anyone, and employees shilling the Vision Pro to all their friends and family and making them try it out, is the best word of mouth advertising anyone can buy.
Not true. Those sold in very high numbers.
Of course. I was being facetious.
When those products were announced/released many people here predicted they'd be flops. It seems to be a tradition.
If I knew my Vision would get updates for a decade, I’d feel better. (Historically, the first generation of a new product gets snubbed with a short support lifetime.)
Well, that one way to hopefully move inventory and announce…
“we sold out but are quickly making as many as we can”
At this point, Apple has fully demonstrated putting profit over innovation, especially since Cook has taken over.for profit?
Everyone wants something for nothing. R&D costs money. That requires profits. Or do you donate to Apple? If so I apologize. But I speak as someone in R&D. Companies also need profits to encourage investment.At this point, Apple has fully demonstrated putting profit over innovation, especially since Cook has taken over.
Apple employees will make sure it won't be. Engineers earn $165k/yr to $1.5m/yr at Apple, so they can easily afford it without the discount. With the discount, it gives them an extra push to buy it and prop up the sales numbers.
