Kuo: Apple Will Only Produce Up to 80,000 Vision Pro Headsets for Launch, Sellout Likely

I wonder how many will return the Vision Pro headset in the first 2 weeks? There's always early bird consumers that want it then it's not for them.
“The first run of Vision Pro headsets might sell out quick, but Kuo says that so far, it is unclear if the demand for the Vision Pro will be sustained "after the novelty wears off.”
Sounds like Apple is confident

Nobody right now since its not on sale
I wouldn't either. But I can see many situations where I would be using it without my Macs. That's something I'm really looking forward to someday.
AVP is so much more than an alternative Mac display.
Based on this thread, nobody will be returning them unless they want to lose the extra money they paid to the scalper.
It will, there’s no real world killer app, it’s an expensive ass toy and the whole space is and has been a fad.
Facebook stopped pouring money down their VR meta world nonsense recently for a reason.
I’ve Never been more interested in a product since the first iPhone 🤷♂️
Don’t remember the last time we actually knew so little about a product that is about to launch like what apps will actually be available (and I am not talking about „lazy“ iOS ports that just float around in a flat window).
I feel like all I see is „renders“ and „could be“ use cases.
I actually JUST ordered a Meta Quest 3 for pick up tomorrow. First time I will be seeing anything VR / AR and Vision Pro most likely won’t be released here this year AND it’s not like I could afford it anyway 😅 not really into games but watching movies on a „big screen“ and in 3D are worth a try at 500€ bucks VS 3500 bucks

What do you do with an iPad?
If you dont know how you are going to use an AVP than just imagine it is a special type of iPad. And if thats not worth it the device isn't worth it.
You'd be surprised the amount of money some early adopters and people with lots of disposable income are willing to part with. if this thing really sells out in the first few minutes you could be sure that we will see them selling for some ridiculous amounts in the secondary market. Especially since people overseas won't be able to buy them from Apple. And there will be some youtubers who make hundreds of thousands from their channel that will be desperate to get their hands on one. It could potentially be total mayhem.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this 80,000 number. Given the idea of "just-in-time" supply chains, this seems like a good starting number. With more being made in the pipeline, I'm sure. Aren't all products built/distributed this way now?
This is a misreading of the apple watch. They weren't experimenting. They totally misread the market and didnt understand the device. The first watch wasn't an experiment. They just had the wrong emphasis. They adapted. Apple isn't experimenting with AVP. They made a device that they think does everything they want and is feature complete. But they will rapidly adapt if they are wrong (or crash and burn or both).
People with unencumbered/fertile imaginations will be purchasing it.
The reseller angle is fascinating. Are there people with so much money they would pay a reseller premium on this? Probably, but I cannot imagine that number is that large. My work is getting for me but if I dont click hard enough to get it on time then I am just waiting. My work will not cover any "reseller" receipt.
Not worth flipping on ebay. It's a super high dollar item so ebay will 1099 you. Plus the fees and shipping will be insane.
My comment had nothing to do with the Apple Watch. Rather it was with respect to early adopters, which would include many developers.
Yes, because what business doesn't want heaps of hype instead of money?
Hmmmm. I do almost everything with my iPad Pro and think it’s rather special. Perhaps the rumored new OLED iPad Pro will feel like a reward for resisting the even more expensive AVP.
