iPhone 15 Event to Use Same Pre-Recorded Format as Last Year

[Surf Monkey]

lolol. People always predict Cook will be known for the failure of <insert multi million $ product here>. But he will be known for raising the value of an almost bankrupt company to the richest on the planet.

People were predicting the failure of the Vision Pro before it was officially announced. Then when it was, most people were like… oh.. now I get it. Wow.

Vision Pro is barreling towards failure. And no, I don’t recall anyone saying that Cook would be considered a failure for any previously released product. The Apple Watch was a Johnny Ive project and the bulk of the rest of Apple’s products haven’t changed much over the last 13 years. The reason Vision Pro is so deeply connected to Tim Cook’s legacy is that it’s all his. 100%. Just as Newton was 100% John Scully’s.

And no, the comment isn’t a knee jerk anti-Apple thing. The problems with Vision Pro and the extremely high hurtles it has to leap in order to achieve mass adoption can’t be ignored. The chances of the product being a success in the mold of Macintosh or iPhone are slim. Very, very slim.

Pretty much the exact argument against Vision Pro. Jobs would never have signed off on it.

I’m not really sure what he would’ve thought of it to be honest, but I wouldn’t really imagine him wearing a heavy headset on stage and talking about how revolutionary it is and why you should buy it.. lol, I don’t really think he would ever do that.
Though I do think it’s a niche product and it’s just not for everyone, especially with that price tag.. I don’t really think it’ll “fail” though, but I highly doubt that it’ll become the norm and replace the iPhone one day. It’s just not as practical as the iPhone is in my opinion.

For someone like me (I wear eyeglasses), I’m not really sure if I wanna try it.. they said you’d have to pay for prescription lenses so you can use it if you already wear eyeglasses which is kind of a bummer for me. I’m also not sure how this could affect my eyesight, it’s literally a screen one-inch away from your eyes. So yeah, I don’t really think I’m the target here..
But I can see it being targeted to gamers, the rich people who can afford it maybe lol, maybe the tech Youtubers/enthusiasts.. so yeah, I do think it’ll sell, but it’s gonna be more of a niche product and not for everyone.

😂😂. People always predict Cook will be known for the failure of <insert multi billion $ product here>. But he will be known for raising the value of an almost bankrupt company to the richest on the planet.

People were predicting the failure of the Vision Pro before it was officially announced. Then when it was, most people were like… oh.. now I get it. Wow! Not everyone will be able to afford it, sure. But not everyone can afford or Mac Pro, or an iPhone or even AirPods. But don’t worry, Someone will eventually make a half baked copy that will do many of the things Apple can do for a fraction of the price.

Well, some people thought the iPod/iPhone/iPad would fail when they were first announced and they were proven wrong. So yeah, I think we shouldn’t really judge the failure/success of a product before it’s even out.

I think the Vision Pro will sell, but it won’t be for everyone. I think it’s a cool new piece of technology but it seems more like a niche product for this price in my opinion. It’s still only a first-generation product though, so it could possibly improve and become smaller and lighter with more battery life in the next generations. But I guess we will wait and see..

Let’s clear this up. Tim Cook is not an engineer, or a designer. He’s the CEO. He didn’t design the Vision Pro, nor did he come up with the idea. He pays people to do that. He would very much have been in the room when the idea was pitched to Management, as were many others. He probably loved the idea and has gone 'all-in', just like he would have with the watch and other products. The Apple Watch was not solely a Sir Jonny Ive design. He was the Chief designer and head of the project. People reported to him and he had a lot of say in its design, but like any product, it takes a team to make a product. So if you want to go there, it was inspired by Steve Jobs wanting wearables to improve people’s health.

To blame Cook for the failure or the success of any product is at the very least, naive.

I get that you don’t like the Vision Pro. Good on you. Don’t buy it; slam it all you want. But maybe wait until they are actually released until you jump on the haters bandwagon as early as you seem to have done.

So John Scully is absolved from Newton for the exact same reasons.

See, your post doesn’t rebut my statement. Cook’s legacy is now tied inextricably to the Vision Pro. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t personally engineer it. Steve Jobs didn’t engineer the Lisa. Scully didn’t engineer the Newton. But they were in charge when those products were developed and launched.

And AGAIN: I do not like or dislike Vision Pro. I’m talking about the blatantly obvious hurdles it faces in the quest to become ubiquitous like iPhone.
