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

People have flipped a PS5 and RTX 4090 so people will try to do the same with these. I’m on the sidelines just watching no interest regardless of the price
I felt disappointed with my first Mac and later with my first iPad.
But by the second week, that disappointment turned into satisfaction. They helped me so much at work that both quickly paid themselves.
While I’m still debating about getting a Vision Pro, I’m excited that it’s being launched. I have a whole week to decide whether to order it at launch or wait a little.
The folks on Windows Weekly estimated this has been a 6-10 year stroll at $5-10 B per year...there is no payout in the foreseeable future, but that's the luxury of having more cash than most countries...
Assuming it’s true that they can only make 400,000 per year, it means they started mass production two months ago.
That 400,000 number was ever only a rumor, right? And, assuming it was true at the time, that doesn't mean that Sony or Apple couldn't ramp up production through building new plants, etc. So, by 6 months into sales, that number may increase due to increased production capability.
Have at it, guys.
I have no interest, likely ever, in this product or product line.

And this is a weird one economically. It has almost killed the PS5 to be supply constrained. I stopped looking for a PS5 for 2 years. I bet no one at Sony was grateful for hype instead of sales.
It's not a "manufactured sellout" the issue is that they literally can't make more.
I am. Can't wait. The fact that you have no interest in it is of no value to me.
I agree. Our family has a lot of extra spending money, and we won't buy this. We're spending it on a Disneyland vacation in February, and a Paris vacation in the summer during the Olympics.
Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, we could save money by buying a Vision Pro. We could virtually experience Disneyland and Paris through the goggles. Right? I just saved my family $10,000 on 2 vacations. I just have to convince the wife. (lol)
No, the first buyer will order 80,000 units and auction them all on Ebay.
Well...this sort of proves my point. "Expensive" is a calculation of value, and different people value things differently. I'd rather buy the AVP then even go to the concert of my favorite artist, if it cost me $1800. I'd wait for the live 3D version that cost me $49 in the AVP. But in a country where millions of people spend that kind of money on concerts, where the average new car sells for $48k, the AVP is only expensive if you don't value it.
lot of rich people, are you sure, just because its expensive means that all rich people wanna one 🤣
Yeah, I am not sure what to make of all the folks claiming they are going to resell. Dont recall seeing that too often before. For some reason this device, this price point, seems to trigger a lot of trolls.
I wonder how Apple's requirement to fine tune this to the individual will effect this, if its real at all. If you have to go to the Apple Store to get it, they wont let you walk out without opening the box and perhaps somehow modifying the foam inserts to match your face. that will inherently cut down on resale.
Or one can hope.
