Apple wants to sell you an iPad and AVP for each family member rather than provide multi user support. What do people think they are, a charity? Sheesh.

Well, the last 14 years should have demonstrated that there’s no grounds for such an expectation with Apple.
The pricing is unrelated to its lack of multi-user capabilities.
I’m not defending Apple here. I’m saying you should know better than to expect anything else from Apple.
I’ll never stop reading this as Alien vs Predator.

Apple recommends a $200 light seal for a guest?
That has to be a joke.
This must be a V1 issue. As there is no way the longterm strategy is 1 AVP per household member.

Maybe Apple expects you to donate the second liver as well, so that you can buy another device.
In Apples eyes if you can afford to buy the device at $3500, then you can afford to buy any accessory to go with it at the extortionate price they usually charge. Just remember the $999 for a Pro Stand or the $699 for the Pro Mac wheels. The more expensive the item, the more expensive the accessory, so it should be no surprise that they are charging premium prices.
Everyone should have their own light seals in case they would ever want to test drive someone’s Vision Pro.
And like everything else there will be knockoffs available for $30-40 on Amazon. Why are you complaining every day about a device you don't want to ever buy? What's the point?
Perhaps I'm just too old for this drek. This product is, IMHO, the stupidest POS waste-of-money on the planet. Just can't wait to see some doze wearing this while letting his Tesla auto-drive him into oblivion.
Then again, maybe Tim totally bought into Jony Ive's no physical user input philosophy. The Vision Pro certainly accomplishes that.

Keep a hold of the device at all times… remember, that battery cable can also be wrapped around your wrist several times and the battery itself can be used as an anchor by lodging it between two boulders while they try on you AVP…
And those knockoffs will have chemicals leaching out…. Im sure part of their quality control at Apple is selecting a long lasting and safe material. Its horrendous what some sellers on various sites will provide you… with no consideration for your long term safety.
I'm also pissed that it's not shipping with multi user, however, in no way shape or form should this thing be running macOS... it's an entirely new paradigm of computing, why saddle it with a desktop OS just to get multiuser?
tvOS supports multiple users, you don't need a desktop OS to add such a feature... Everyone pissed about this should go to Apple Feedback and let 'er rip...

But it does have user profiles. Enterprise and Educational customer have the ability to have multiple users on an iPad with their own settings and files. For some reason Apple has not migrated this to personal iPads.
One of the prime uses of an AR device is to share it among friends and family while playing games.
Not so much here...

Same applies to the iPad. It has been almost 14 years, yet they have not implemented a feature to share an iPad with friends or family members.
That reason is profits. Why allow people to use and share a single iPad when you can make them buy multiple ones instead?
They can’t just wait 10 years. What’s going to change in ten years if no one works on it now? Nothing. No product is ever done, especially without public feedback. Eventually you have to ship something.
I agree it’s a bit un-Apple-like for a product release. But Steve is gone. We’ll never see anything like that again.
I think it’s fair enough for a first shot. What they should really be judged on is where it goes from here.
