When have specs been "much better" objectively between product iterations at Apple?
Yes, they add some features now and then considered to be a big step up, like Watch with Cellular, 5G on iPhone, the first Retina display back in the day.
But most of the time its incremental updates with Apple.
Uh, you missed my point. I was suggesting there could be a big step up from the first to the second Vision Pro- a bigger step than there needed to be, and one seemingly engineered by Apple deliberately.

Dubious at best… what evidence do you have for this?
 
The cost on object is not a tax.

It's the cost the company needs to price in order to continue to be profitable.

This is one of my triggers, I suppose, but people today don't seem to understand why things are priced the way they are.

The Apple Vision Pro is a luxury item. It is not meant to exist in some sort of isolated island. The AVP is part of an extended system of products and the buyer of the AVP is expected to be fully bought-into that extended system.

It's not healthy to ignore the obvious. Apple has a long standing reputation for charging more than what the product is actually worth even if you include research and development. That's how they were able to build that huge HQ in one of the most expensive places in the United States. The price of the Apple Vision Pro is way above what is should be and what the market will allow. It's going to crash and burn especially since other headsets, despite having different purposes, will continue to dominate the "VR" market at a much lower price point.

it is…you can buy more batteries if you want it use it that way…you can connect it to your mac and use it as a monitor, or compute right off it, it’s got an M2!…I’m pretty sure you will be able to connect a long usb cable to power brick and runoff that…I’m getting it with an extra battery back and a long usb-c cable…done…what it is not is a storage device…if this fails (which I don’t think it will) it will have nothing to do with storage
So that’s why they are offering a 1 TB option, right? Just because…
 
Seems like I won, right?

If you were indeed right, that's great for both of us, but one might argue even more so for me because I learned something new whereas you just confirmed you were right and get to feel good about that :)

Do you have a link to share where this is stated?

I don’t get it. You ask what the storage is for like they hadn’t explained that before. You can record videos, take pictures, use apps in this thing. It’s the same as an iPhone so I don’t get what part is confusing you. They even offer a 1 TB option.
