Kuo: Apple Vision Pro to Sell Out Fast, Leading to Long Shipping Delays

[mry110]

I wonder if Apple will put some kind of limitation on paying in installments to avoid this kind of (for lack of a better term, that's smart on your part re: the MBA lol) abuse of the system specifically with AVP, given how short their supply will be and how delicate of an item it really is. can't really imagine what that'd look like, just conjecture…

My credit limit just got raised yesterday. Coincidence 🧐🧐🧐?

Scalpers are ready to go in something new from Apple probably delay for months

I think the purchase process is going to make it too difficult for scalpers to waste their time with. Do you think these people are going to scan their face 10 times in the 15 minutes it takes to sell this out? What if it requires a unique face for each purchase? Are they going to have 10 friends lined up? This is going to be an interesting case study in preventing scalping.

At least the AV has WiFi and more space than a Nomad. 😀

May it be as lame as iPod.

Seriously - the run up to this feels a lot like iPod. Very low key, really targeted at hardcore Mac people. Remember, early iPods couldn’t talk to Wintendo, and Macs were still shipping with OS 9.

iPod was hard to appreciate … until you held it. Then, and only then, did you realize quite how magnificent it was.

My original iPod has over 20 years on it, still works great, and reminds me of a time when I knew - long before the gen pop - how this was going to change everything. And it did.

Vision Pro feels the same way. It’s going to be replaced quickly, no doubt. Many iterations, like iPod. But someone has to be the guinea pig, and I’ll do that for this one. For sure.
