Unless the dude is the Apple accounting department…..I doubt any speculation. One the plus side…there are only 180,000 idiots in the world lol.

You doubt any speculation? Except yours. I’d speculate, based on yours that there are 180,001
So it's fair for them to tell legitimate iOS users not to want Android features and just get an Android phone? Sorry, doesn't work both ways. And, countersmash, yes I actually can copy paste from my Android phone directly to my Windows device thank you. I will say apologies for my wording of luddite as uncalled for.
FYI I'm not here to say one OS copied the other one because frankly they BOTH copied from each other and it's inane to argue that either way because who cares? My only point was there isn't anything wrong with iOS users wanting Android features, and many features, again BOTH ways, were incorporated this way. That's why competition is great, the users end up benefiting.
As a very heavy user of Microsoft's Windows tablets back then I couldn't wait for the iPad to be released because Windows tablets were so clunky. I feel the iPad did take a huge step back in functionality, but it's important to know your market and the iPad is the best selling tablet out of all today's tablets. I happily used iPads until Microsoft improved tablets with the surface lineup and leapfrogged the iPad for my uses, but if it weren't for the iPad the Surface Pro would never have existed.
I'm trying to see the VP in that same frame of mind, but it's at the other end of the spectrum. The iPad simplified things and made tablets much more accessible to everyday users. The VP seems to be the cadillac of VR headsets, where I was hoping that iPad strategy would have had them release a more accessible headset, but maybe that will come with the consumer version.
Whoosh that went right over your head. Some people here want iOS to be so close to Android that it's basically Android with iMessages. Instead of constantly pining for major changes how about you just switch and get it over with.
I love how the Apple indoctrination squad will defend any criticism to the death. I’m sure Tim Cook would defend you….ya probably not. I hope you enjoy looking like a tool with your Apple Dystopia Vista Visor.
Maybe, then you have the iPhone and iPad and AppleWatch, all had their issues at launch, although only Apple thought selling a watch made on a Chinese production line that would be obsolete the next year for 12,000 was a good idea! I do t have faith in this market, mobiles existed for years before Apple entered, it was already a mature mass market, smart watches were around and probably the closest thing to the Vision Pro market, the iPad well their were already tablets out then, but now they dominate that market and handicap the hoard with software restrictions despite its power. I just see them doing the same thing with Vision Pro. VR and AR has never taken off, 3500 headset won’t change that, it remains to be seen if it opens any kind of market up,
Last I checked you can buy those devices for far far far less then 3500 no credit required so no moving of goalposts required. Plus they serve multiple purposes like for games consoles, can’t see you plugging a PS5 into the Vision Pro, and the entire family can enjoy them at the same time, rather then look at OLED weird freaky interpretations of your eyes on the front of your headset.
Do you mean accessible price-wise? Because I find that the device itself looks pretty user-friendly, as is common with Apple products.
There are no projections, but if Apple is trying to create another revenue stream to grow the business, I’d say 2 million is the bare minimum… if not in sales, then pre-orders. Heck, if Tesla can get 2.5 million preorders for a $61,000 - $100,000 product, and Apple can’t even get 2 million preorders for a $3,500 - $4,000 product, that would be an embarrassment.
Also, you can’t assume Apple will find a use case for VP to make it go mainstream. In the case of AW, the form factor was proven for centuries and Fitbit already showed that there was strong demand for wearables focused on health whereas Meta after a decade still hasn’t found a use case for MQ.
But the comment I was quoting specifically mentioned the Apple VR, and in any case you’ve agreed with my comment so what’s your point?
I don’t believe supply chain rumors, but even if it were true, I would say demand will be the most important gauge. Not being able to produce enough is a good problem. But if Apple can’t even get 2 million preorders in the first year, I’d say that doesn’t bode well. These things will need to sell like hotcakes to move the revenue needle.
Personal attacks are more about you, than me.
Why would the indoctrination squad defend criticisms?
What is a Apple Dystopia Vista Visor? A child could come up with a better insult. BTW what does a "tool" look like? Thanks
Plus the rev generated on a MacBook is probably way higher than this device. There’s so much R&D, capital, components baked into this thing. It’s not going to be anywhere near the money maker the iphone and MacBook are.
I can’t answer that. So, thanks for the heads up. Maybe let Cook know before it’s too late?
