Report: Apple May Stop Producing Vision Pro by the End of 2024

Not shocked at all. It needs to get to $1k for the masses to readily engage, in my opinion.

If you are interested in buying 500000, Tim might be able to do you a deal.

There is nothing, I repeat, nothing, in this article implying that the AVP will be discontinued anytime soon.
I swear, any article about the AVP just instantly attracts negativity from people who DON'T EVEN READ THE ARTICLE!

Maybe people wearing a Vision Pro can't read between the lines?

I don't understand what these inconveniences are? I bought a quest a year and a half ago and used it every day for either exercise or gaming. I bought a vision pro in February and used it every day since for watching tv and movies. I've never been more excited about technology since the first iPhone than using these devices. VR has been a dream since I was a kid

The good news is spare parts won't be a problem for your Vision Pro.

As far as price is concerned, a similar question could've been asked about the original Macintosh in 1984. When compared to the price of Atari and Commodore computers, who in their right mind would even consider buying a Macintosh?

However, not everything is just about the pric

Apples goal all along was to test out the market. They’ve had the data all along on the VR market. It will be in more hands once they lower the price. The device has very high potential as a on the go mobile media powerhouse. I think once the price lowers significantly and the physical form factor gets less bulky then this could be a wearable hit like the Apple Watch and AirPods.

I don’t know what Apples plans are for the Apple Glasses 👓 but if they can get the Vision Pro goggles 🥽 as small form factor like the glasses then more people wouldn’t mind wearing them because of the light weight and people have been complaining about the heavy weight of the vision pro.

Hmm perhaps they should have put that goal on the packaging. I mean it was obvious to me it was a dev unit foisted on the public, but a little truth in advertising would have been nice.

VR will never go main stream. Most people do not want to walk around in a fake reality.

Biggest flop in years. Too bad the tech is great but the implementation is bad it's too bulky and heavy and gives headaches.

It was nice of you to not mention the Apple car.

If they discontinue this category, they should allow those who bought it to return it and get a refund.

If everyone just bought a storage upgrade on their Mac, it wouldn't cost Apple anything to do this for disenfranchised and lonely Vision Pro owners.

I am more convinced than ever that people’s eagerness to see Apple fail has robbed them of any ability to think critically whatsoever.

We used to call that kind of call out "shooting the messenger", back in the day.

I didn't need to read past the headline to know that this is nonsense and just based on one supplier being replaced by another. Apple couldn't stop producing AVP this fast even if they wanted to due to a number of vendor agreements already in place.

You may want to read about the history of oh.... let's start with computers.

Seems like a good time to buy one ? Imagine its worth in 15 years new in the box, the only Vision Pro ever made !
