Balenciaga and Rimowa Launch Apps for Apple Vision Pro

100% agree.

And not just any commercials… super luxury brand commercials.

We're back with the Apple Watch in solid gold sold in Harrods…

How about some productivity apps? But instead we're given Luxury Brand Ads.

So strange.

Or perhaps not so strange. Is this Apple admitting the AVP is only for the very rich?

To be fair, people spend money on fashion magazines, which are like 800 pages of ads, BECAUSE of the ads.

To be fashionable is to be good at advertising oneself, as fashion itself is advertising.

Balenciaga has t-shirts and sneakers for $1000 and purses for $6000 for anyone that complains about avp price. Maybe apple should release a Balenciaga collab and charge double/triple/octuple, obviously it would have some market. My
aunt and cousin lived next to a mall in Bal Harbour, Florida that had a Balenciaga store and all the other uberlux brands and she used to shop there... too bad my cousin got scammed by fake Facebook boyfriends over and over and lost millions over a few years. I remember she had one who wore Balenciaga shirts and drove a Ferrari that she bought him and he convinced her to sell her condo and rent it back so he could take that money to "invest" for her. Of course he disappeared and they got evicted a few months later. Then they lived in a private nursing house until my aunt died at 95. We didn't hear from her for a few years until cops called from Texas last month. They found her emaciated when they went to evict her "husband" and they arrested him for trafficking and abuse. She was always homely and looked emaciated her whole life and she never worked in her life, now she's got nothing and homeless.

AVP users: Hey can we get Netflix and YouTube for our $4000 headset?

Let's be aware that these two apps are being highlighted because it plays into the narrative of AVP being expensively useless and outrage drives engagement. These apps do not, in themselves, define the product.

In what way does this comment apply to Apple? These two brands decided to create apps for the AVP. I haven't seen a "created by Apple" tag line on the apps. Have you?

to be fair, there's a lot of overlap between the set of people who would pay 4k for a vr headset and people who would pay 2k for a tshirt with holes in it.

I am convinced Balenciaga is a social experiment and making insane profits off the back of hype and social media presence. Anybody who spends £600 on a jumper that looks like its been found in a storm drain or £2k on a pair of rubber sneakers even Kanye West (Yee Ya Yo?) wouldn't be seen dead wearing is definitely on the spectrum.

Quite fitting though that they are investing in an AVP app as I'd imagine the current device will be bought by their target market.

Wait… you think Apple is in charge of those apps?

Of course not. They're made by two different companies respectively. But you think Apple with all its money and influence can't make some kind of deal with said companies tomorrow to bring their immensely popular apps to their new platform?
