Not unless battery tech evolves. There's only so much miniaturization/power efficiency gains one can make on chipsets.

Apple Vision Pro May Now Be Out of Production

For what it's worth, I have to use a PC owned by my clients for certain work and I am still able to use AVP with it. PC->Mac via Capture Card and HDMI cable, then connect to the ultra-wide screen in AVP. It's clunky (and I have to use the PC keyboard trackpad, not Mac keyboard/trackpad) but works well enough. Granted my use case is really monitoring for emails and occasional document review on the PC, but works well enough for my purposes while I do work on the AVP.
To be clear, I am a weird use case where prior to AVP I was doing 95% of my work on an iPad, which apparently means I don't do "real work" per multiple posters on MacRumors 😂 .
Would be great, but I doubt it happens. I expect Apple will have a V2 or V3 of the Vision Pro that is under $2k, and at that point they treat it like an iPad Pro. Would love to be wrong here.
Never going to happen.
You're probably right, which is one of the (many) reason I'll never buy it.
posting no. 254 - not many products - the 'nobody' wants get that many comments 🤣 🤣 🤣

Speaking for myself. I don't care what others do, even if it's foolish..and I don't think "Apple is doomed", I just think this a stupid product.
Either way, engagement does not equal sales. Despite the common phrase, bad publicity exists.

257 postings and counting - most people will just see the number of conclude that this is an interesting topic ( aka product ) - not even the iPhone 16E get's that many comments with just 114 comments as I am typing this and this is going to be the most affordable SmartPhone from Cupertino 🤣
There’s a reason people make articles about it and spin it with a negative framing. It’s called “negativity bias” and is why fear mongering news works so well in humans. We love drama.
Make an article that says “Apple Vision Pro sells well for its price point. New camera coming to expand immersive content. Apple Vision Pro expanding to more countries. Sony working with Apple on controllers” what’s…to care about? Say “oh cool” and move on?
Spin it as this is a terrible product and you have passionate discussion. The guy you were replying to said he’s never buying this product and yet has posted more than anyone else. Engagement baby.
Those of us that have been around awhile know an “Apple is doomed” article when we see one. Dismiss and move on. But for some people, they just gotta argue that no. Apple IS doomed. And this is why. Right as they sail past a 4 trillion dollar valuation
If the “amount of discussion” had any bearing on what Apple actually does, we’d have wildly different product lineups
AVP is a polarizing topic .. that’s the main reason it’s fun to banter about for page after page
Totally agree, my man. Comments online have no bearing on the success of a product. People tend to be wildly wrong about things all the time.
That isn’t actually what I said, but I also agree with that anyhow
Comments here mean nothing positively or negatively
People who are wildly optimistic about AVP may also be very wrong.
You should probably keep that possibility in mind as well.
Remember when Netflix, raising prices and cracking down on password sharing was gonna be the end of the company? Boy do I remember. Comments online definitely don’t translate towards anything.
that's why Apple's shares are that strong these days - Apple knows what they want to accomplish and their outlook has always been on the long run.
I remember an interview with Craig where he told the story when they used a Mac PRO to simulate the 120 Hz technology for the iPad Pro and they could not stop playing with the scrolling and then they started with:
- A team getting the task of developing the GPU being capable of doing 120 Hz refreshrate
- A team being told to optimize the software for getting refresh rats from 4 Hz to 120 Hz when in use
- A team co-developing a display for 4 Hz .. 120 Hz with seamless transition
- A team optimizing the power consumption
- A team driving the development for the SoC
Craig is a very good example with his attitude.
Sure. I could be wrong. Like I was wrong about the Apple Watch being totally useless since I can tell time on my phone.
Yes. Groundbreaking innovative technology with easily solvable issues when it enters the market, it could totally fail. Seems like the smart thing to do would be…idk. At least remain neutral instead of calling it a failure this early on into this products life cycle? But what do I know. I’m just here so people can have fun telling me i Am wrong
I see no debate, and see no reason to debate. The internet is terrible for debating anything.
Correct. People have their own biases and cannot see through them.
Edit: Decontinuing production of AVP smells like the OG HomePod.
When Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone in 2007, he mentioned what the "killer app" was => "The Internet in your pocket"
Well there ya go. Killer app. A movie theater for your eyeballs
Whew. Glad we got that killer app discussion sorted.
We've already got those? They are called Television.
You can watch it with your family without 2 and half pounds strapped to your head.
Hey that’s awesome! I’ve heard of those before. How much is it to buy one the size of a movie theater and transport me to the island of bora bora to watch all my personal content?
Heeeeeeeeeeey ! Not sure can't be bothered to check either.
My guess if people cared that much they would've purchased a vision pro but it seems like they didn't so they obviously don't.
Half of the benefit of having movies theater size screen is to be able to share it with your friends and family.
