Cause that's what we need, another product flop after the 1st product flop, Lol Its done, you need to move on.
Exactly why I returned mine. They didn’t build any cool experiences or use cases into it. Why can’t I mod my house to be different, paint the walls, install virtual windows into exotic locales, add useful virtual gadgets around my environment? There needs to be some sense of persistence with it to make it something other than just virtual iPads hovering around your face. I was so disappointed by how little thought they put into interesting use cases for it.
100%! He clearly changed his response once he realised it wasent selling! From everyone, to early adopters.

There is a reason this site is not called MacFacts. People are soooo gullible…. 😂. Eat this stuff up baby. It makes you fat like a Christmas turkey.

I would! I returned mine but I’ll probably buy one used at some point if I can snag one for $1500-2000. It’s worth it at that price, in my opinion.
Well, if they're having trouble selling them, maybe Apple should try something unprecedented: a BIG honking discount! I MIGHT be interested at about $1749.99. Hey, they're losing money with dead inventory, it's better get 50% of something rather than 100% of nothing, no? Either that or a tax write-off. And since corporate taxes are limited to 21%, and probably going down, smarter to sell than write-off.
I finally got to try one of these the other day. It is fascinating but definitely not worth the price they are asking for it. If I was insanely rich, I might pick one up.
Be careful, you’re going to get banned with talk like that. I’d say the overwhelming majority of clicks on this site are from those who hate Apple. Would that drive the articles that are posted?
This needs context. It should read:
with low-demand—yet highly-loved—products, such as the iPhone 12 mini.
I said it before it was released, it’s basically a proof of concept that they’re charging people a lot of money to try out. They’re not getting a hit product out of this right away, and likely for the next few years. They need to lay the foundation, build the ecosystem, miniaturize the technology, and get the costs down before it takes off.
I think by 2030, the product category will be successful in some shape or form.

Why do so many here think that everything has to be a "solution without a problem?" This phrase is so hackneyed as to be meaningless!
Plenty of devices are created simply to be something that people may like or enjoy. They don't have to be solutions. I still love certain aspects of my AVP, especially viewing movies, shows, etc. If that's all it did, I'd be very happy to spend $499 on it. So many assumptions with no basis in fact or experience are made here.
Some of us just don’t see it that way. I can afford it at $3500. I wouldn’t buy it for $500 because it does not provide $500 worth of value in use cases for me. Of course, YMMV.
Lies! This product is selling as hot cake according to Apple and some members on this forum.
The Newton was finally starting to become a mature product. The 2000 and 2100 were fantastic. The issue was that it was a project of the Sculley era, so it stood no chance when Jobs came back.
It is the App Store which made iPhone the best selling smartphone in the world. And a Smartphone you can always carry around. Whether you are alone or going out with friends or family. So, portability is key.
AVP is more or less a giant screen or an iPad. It doesn’t even run macOs. So, it’s not strange that people stay away from a product with a price tag of $3500+ which is not portable, can’t wear for more than an hour or two. There are 1000+ Apps for AVP but how many really matter for common people? If it had support for Steam, Xbox and Playstation, Apple would be selling it in millions.

This is how I feel
It’s not about the price
It’s a product that i have no interest in
I don’t see a use case for it
And even if i did, i wouldnt fulfill that use case by strapping two screens on to my eyes while shutting out the rest of the world
………
I do see the appeal of the idea of a “spatial” ui or whatever you want to call it
But I imagine it as something that’s projected in to a room rather than having an unwieldy device attached to my face
