Indeed, I agree that for the most part common sense is long gone. The human race is replete with morons.Depressing. Common sense isn’t common, etc.

avocado makes me nauseous (as do some of these posts), but to each their own!I found the $20 avacado toast guy!!
Priorities right?
It sounds like Vision Pro will require some time and attention to demo. How do they weed out the serious potential buyers from all the curiosity seekers?I just want to know how they are demo it to the general public if really need to customize it for each head?
Maybe they'll require a credit check before you get to wear the demo model. /sIt sounds like Vision Pro will require some time and attention to demo. How do they weed out the serious potential buyers from all the curiosity seekers?
No accessory YET*And they will add... no, there is no first party groin attachment... however... third party...
Picture an episode of Red Dwarf (Gunman of the Apocalypse, series 6)
This. It’s Tim Cook’s last hurrah. His baby.I DON'T see this item selling very well at all especially in a recession which they predict will start 1st quarter of 2024.
people are gonna concentrate on important stuff like rent, mortgage , food, utilities, gas.
not playing around in the virtual world for $3500 plus.
$69.99* comes with twenty seven step instructions on how to clean it. And it will be on a 3” square accordion fold out slip.I can't wait to buy an official Apple 'Spooge' cloth (patent pending) for $24.99.
I'm the curiosity seeker and what you have to keep in mind is, I could be a potential buyer.It sounds like Vision Pro will require some time and attention to demo. How do they weed out the serious potential buyers from all the curiosity seekers?
The amount of units they’ll be selling, maybe?The original Apple Watch Edition was a luxury item, this is a very expensive yet fairly priced cutting-edge piece of engineering. Absolutely no similarities.
AVP launches in the US first. It has a complicated setup process in store for customers. The US has 272 Apple Stores.
If AVP launches late March, they have some 270 days to sell the headset in 2024.
If each store sells one headset per hour, maybe hour and a half – lets say 6 units a day – Apple would sell 6 x 272 x 270 = 440,640 units at Apple Stores in the first year.
I doubt each store will sell 6 units a day. Throw in online sales, and I'm starting to see where Apple's projection of first year sales comes from...
That doesn’t make sense, by that logic, of judging it just by how someone looks wearing it, every VR headset on the market would be a train-wreck…and that’s not the case, that’s just the current state of VRI know this is about sales training rumors, and I hate to veer so far from the subject, but I have to say it. Every couple of weeks I think maybe I've judged too harshly and this thing might actually catch on, but then I see a new picture of someone wearing it and I conclude all over again: this is going to be a train-wreck for Apple. It will be a high quality, well organized and funded train-wreck, but a train-wreck just the same.
Isn’t a supersized laptop screen just a desktop monitor?I look forward to trying one of these myself, hoping it does key things demoed as well as they appeared in the WWDC demo. Access to a super-sized laptop screen anywhere I happen to go seems quite valuable to me. I hope it works well.
Yup... Still waiting for the feature to copy texts from photos over here.As always, Europe misses out. At least you do learn to be patient.
You forgot the word if, tim wishes hard that 1 percent of current customers would buy the vision pro. That would be a sweet dream.Just 1% of Apple customers will make this a big business. I don’t even want a hands-on experience — maybe just an appointment to get fitted and then receive at home.
What part of Europe are you in? We’ve (Ireland) had that feature since it was first released and I’ve used it many times.Yup... Still waiting for the feature to copy texts from photos over here.
Really? I've been using it here in the UK for quite a while.Yup... Still waiting for the feature to copy texts from photos over here.
If only it could run the same apps as a MacBook Pro. I'm even expecting the initial apps apps to be more restricted / less developed than their iPadOS counterparts.My supersized desktop computer screen is 40" ultra-wide. All of that available screen R.E. is very productive for my work.
Unfortunately, it's hard to carry that on the plane and then set up above the tray table to get some work done on those long flights. I doubt the person(s) next to me would appreciate the intrusion into their space either. It's also hard to successfully transport to the various hotels, etc to set up there to get some work done.
And- while not quite as hard- it's a significant productivity downer to try to get the same work done on a relatively-tiny 16" laptop screen... and best I know, nobody is making 40" ultra-wide laptops... or maybe dual monitor 40" ultra-wide laptops. And even if they were (there are some physical screen folding monstrosities)...

...I wouldn't want to carry all that bulk and weight around everywhere... so I could have "more screen" when I want it.
Like most with ASD with a stand option, I paid towards $2K for a big desktop screen that will probably forever sit in a single spot for life of device. I look at Vpro as a relatively light weight, MOBILE version of the same... a stand-in for the laptop lid that delivers a gigantic screen in high resolution instead of using the (up to) 16" physical screen. And if something makes me want a 60" ultra-wide or two 40" ultra-wides stacked one atop the other, Vpro may have that built in too... at the SAME weight & bulk. If that costs $1500 more, that doesn't seem like such an insane amount of money to me.
How much is a minimum specced 16" MBpro again? So spend $1K more and also have a 17" MBpro... and a 20" MBpro... and a 24"... and a 27".... and a 30", 32", 40", 50", 60", dual screen, quad screen, etc. How much are people expecting to pay for a 30"-32" iMac Pro? There could be one in Vpro... or two of them... along with an iMac ultra-wide and an iMac 50", etc.
