You can still get one for February or March. I thought it was gonna get sold out within minutes for the whole year as some people claimed here.
I am sure a huge factor in the high price is accounting for elevated returns. I am sure there are a not so insignificant number of people who will try it and return it. With that being their intention from the start.
Doesn’t make the product an issue though. As they could be happy enough to share their positive experiences and build hype.
But Apple will likely hold refurbished ones from the store for a while to hide the elevated returns (if they materialize).
Well, any time you can sell more than you make, it IS a success.
Whether those 20 cover the R&D, etc., is another story.
Honestly, only Apple knows the number of sales which meet their goal.
That’s crazy. Does that 200M/year stay pretty steady? And is that worldwide or US only?
The number is global sales. It fluctuates; last year, it was estimated to be 232 million.
Positive or negative, I'm so pumped to hear what people really have to say about Vision Pro.
$700 million just for the orders so far.. I wonder what the R&D and production cost for 200k units is?
We have to remember here folks it’s just the good ole USA Apple is selling too at the moment.
Probably make about 35% margin of of hardware plus 71% off of services
190,000 returned within 14 days and in the refurb store in 3 months.
Just remember. If you don’t have any intention of buying one of these, keep quiet about it. The fans are bored of opinions that differ from their own and can’t control their need to call you poor or hateful for expressing your intentions on a public forum.
Those sales figures don't mean much. I'm one of the 20 million, because I was tired of waiting for Apple, but I returned it due to the awful experience and I'd bet I have a lot of company.This is going to blow your mind but this is a failure.
Meta sold 20 Million and it’s still not a success
Meta Has Sold Nearly 20 Million Quest Headsets, But Retention Struggles Remain
Meta has sold nearly 20 million Quest headsets, but the company continues to struggle with keeping customer using VR. According to a report by The Verge, citing an internal Meta presentation held today, the company has sold nearly 20 million Quest headsets. This likely includes Quest 1, Quest 2...www.roadtovr.com
Looking forward to see what developers do with this thing. Clearly Apple didn’t know either.
Yes - and they're made out of plastic, with transparency that borders on Saran Wrap that wouldn't pass muster in Apple's supply chain QC controls.
I'm ALL in on a superior version that lets me work remotely, in an immersive environment with privacy, wherever I want to go. Granted, it's a huge premium . . . but it will usher in a new paradigm in remote computing.
Let us know how the court of public opinion sways your opinion after launch day!
Why pay for one, when you can get them for free at hotels?
From Wikipedia:
In its first week, Apple had sold 270,000 iPhones domestically.[47] Apple sold the one millionth iPhone 74 days after the release.[48] Apple reported in January 2008 that four million were sold.[49] As of Q4 2007, strong iPhone sales put Apple no. 2 in U.S. smartphone vendors, behind Research In Motion and ahead of all Windows Mobile vendors.[50]
I guess the question is will the momentum continue or is this just early adopters and YouTube reviewers?

Worldwide - there are 330ishM citizens in US (2/3 are NOT buying new iPhones annually)
The market is saturated. As price/unit goes up, people are holding iPhones longer than the 1-2 year replacement
cycle that existed 10 years ago.
Time for the next product cycle. (suck it Zuckerberg)
Apple has infinitely more “know” than these third party analysts. They can probably estimate down to the single thousands of how many of these things they are going to sell. It’s a gen 1 launch. Unless it fails miserably for some reason, in a few years we will all look back at laugh at how outrageously overpriced it was at launch “and it wasn’t even able to x, y, and z like it can now” in terms of features/evolution.
This is not a knock on the AVP. I think in terms of the AR/VR space it will be heads and tails above any other product on the market and will do what only Apple is able to do which is create a new ecosystem around their hardware.
Honestly, I haven't seem my comment anywhere else regarding the AVP but its completely possible. I say that because the big YouTube channels always brag about how much they spend on new Apple releases and then tell us how much of that they return after the reviews.
TLDR; Its a knock on the YouTube style influencers and not the AVP.
And how many iPhones were sold in 2007, at a price of $500 or $600 (about $725-$850 in todays dollars)? Apple sold just 1.4 million.
Let’s so how things change over the next free years before passing judgment.
