Apple Planning to Launch Vision Pro by February

Did ya end up with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs kind of money?

Nah, I didn't think so 🙂

Nope.
I was a philosophy major. 🤓

Anyone planning to get one just to stash it, fully sealed, and let the value rack up for resale years down the road?

You go ahead and do that, I want to use mine!

Though I will definitely wait at least a few months to see how they perform before making a purchase.

I wonder how long it will take before Samsung, Google, and others come out with their high end AR / VR goggles? I guess it will depend on how successful the AVP is?

I'm kind of thinking about getting it, but I read the FoV is less than Quest 3. Limited FoV is what kills immersions for me.

My question is will you pass me some of what you’re smoking?

I just took Apple's product policy to the extreme.

I imagine they are prototyping models to fit in the price and feature gaps between the Quest 3 and the Vision Pro for the potential mass market where manufacturing economies of scale and profitability intersect.

The porn world is about to explode.

Among other things. Explode that is.

I know many said this about iPads (and Apple proved us wrong), but I don't see this taking off with the general public. Super expensive and too many hoops to jump through to get this to work properly.

I don't see it selling well either. The market, as it is, is just not there. Microsoft just discontinued their VR setup and will be taking the support of it out of Windows. They tried big time, and it didn't sell. The Vision Pro is more sophisticated it's true but I don't think that matters much.

Ordinary people invest, right?

Ordinary people don't have discretionary money to invest.

The question is - how many people would be willing to pay Apple-level pricing for a non-Apple branded VR headset, especially one that won’t have the same degree of ecosystem integration and support?

At that price point it is utterly ridiculous
