Apple Vision Pro Unlikely to Hit 500,000 Sales This Year, Says IDC

...what?

The people who "use AVP everyday" are the short list of people who, after first being willing to pay $3,500+, have been able to put up with it. These are not subjective complaints, they are realities of the design. The product is heavy and uncomfortable to wear for more than 30-40 minutes at a time (which is fortunate considering the battery doesn't last much longer). It isolates you completely from the world around you, which is awkward. It has video passthrough, which is nausea-inducing due to latency and lighting problems. It runs iPad apps which are already extremely limited in functionality, which is further reduced by having the input method be eye tracking and air gestures. It has next to no native apps, with developer adoption non-existent and many openly hostile to the platform.

These are not first generation product problems, these are problems that are inherent to the design that $2,000 worth of technology and 5+ years of R&D couldn't overcome.

And you got all these facts from where?

I never buy v1.0.

And those of us who are not afraid do buy it, and contribute to shape up what comes next.

Actually my comments have gone directly to those points. As far as your personal case? Good for you. You’re obviously the exception, not the rule.

Not the exception. Count me in.
