Every generation needs its own G4 Cube.
You're right. This is not the end. This is just the beginning of the end.
The problem is a lack of meaningful/useful application development for it. But unfortunately, that won't come without a decent user base. (Circular!)
Apple set the price way too high for the masses and they are suffering for it. Plus it is a Gen-1 product that has some serious issues (weight, battery life) discouraging people from taking a chance on it.

How has Apple dramatically shifted the narrative since then? The original VP was not meant for the "masses" but that doesn't mean that the Vision product line can't represent the beginning of a new era of computing or the future of "spatial computing" as outlined in the press release.
I love mine and use it nearly every day. However, I lost weight and now it's tight on my face. Makes me sad.
It's such a great device and I love it as my work environment. Very cool.

I went Amiga and enjoyed color and multitasking a decade early
Consider me shocked. Nobody wants to strap a pair of goggles to their face at any price. Even if it was $100.
Quest headsets are affordable and they’re not exactly flying off the shelves either.

I like the idea of making it a personal porn machine. Just include some sort of Apple iVibrator attachment and I think this could be the biggest hit since Deep Throat!
It’s always surprises me that when this type of subject matter arises. There are those that believe that badmouthing or trash and something will cause other people not to buy it. People fail to realize that people buy what they want when they want. These fan sites Funny to read. But falling face mainly because the data and information posted by fans are Useless since they’re just Jump up with hatred Roderick. As for the Apple Vision Pro I think the product is excellent but first generation product it’s over priced. But the proceeding Will be far better I’ll be another product in Apple sign of successful products.
Again people buy what they like. Who cares about what fans site complain about everything they Doesn’t fit their criteria what’s good.

The problem is not the price point. The problem is it does not perform tasks better than a computer or tasks that a computer can not perform at all. It is a problem looking for a solution. It is uncomfortable and, right, it is pricey. It was born dead and it does not make any sense to make a lower priced Vision Pro.
This was one of the most stupid products in Apple's history. Steve Jobs never would have allowed it to ship.
Smart glasses is a different thing (not a computer on your nose but a device with specific but limited functions).
I am worried because Apple makes stupid things and miss obvious game changers like AI (they have recognized being two years behind the competition!).

To me, the best thing about the Vision Pro is how it forced Meta to step up their game in 2024.
Although they have just released an even cheaper Quest 3S - its not as if the 3 is anywhere near 'expensive' for what it now is capable of.
Throughout 2024 meta have been on a mission to match Apple VP features as far as possible and now we have a machine that to all intents and purposes IS indeed better than the VP - certainly in terms of its value proposition.
Multiple free format windows for multitasking, ability to view spatial videos and pictures taken on an iPhone, not to mention a gaming experience far in excess of what the VP gives you at a fraction of the price.
People talk about the VP needing to come down to under £1000 but I think even then it wont be as successful as people think.
A headset that is strapped to one's face is always going to be niche - this will not change. The quest 3 gives you everything in a cheaper lighter package.... and I can certainly see the Q3 outselling the VP by a significant margin.

I agree. In hindsight, Apple was far better off sticking with the Project Titan car project and dumping Vision Pro.
I was not and still am not sold on it personally, but I hope it's not the end of the AVP already - so much R&D money, time and brain juices, what a waste if it just gets tossed out.
The lack of use cases and apps to make the device shine is my main issue, Apple can certainly revise the hardware to make it lighter and cheaper, but we desperately need a reason to use it for it to work.
It feels a lot like Apple's biggest problem is, well, Apple.
I've never tried jumping off a bridge. You're saying I should before I know I'd actually hate it?
Sorry, reality doesn't work like that. You don't have to personally put your hand on the burner to know it's hot.
But yet again, you have made some assumptions without anything to back them up.
I happen to think this particular product (AVP) offers so little value to me that I would classify it as a turd.
Assuming you understand how I evaluate all products as a result, and then getting upset about it is all on you, I’m afraid.
Giant white elephant like the $18,000 gold Apple Watch. Let’s hope the next version is mainstream.
Same here. I read that they don't work with monovision contacts (which I wear) and that sealed the deal.
Repeat that sentiment for so many of their products. I'd like a small Apple Watch with week long battery life. An iPhone that doesn't need a battery replacement after a few years...
If it was $35 I might consider it, but no, not at $350. I mean, it would still be useless junk, but that's within my "Eh, I'll spend a few bucks on something that's utterly useless for a few hours of entertainment" price level.
biggest mistake Apple did was ditching the Car project in favor of Vision Pro. It should have been the other way around.
There was no car. There was NEVER going to be a car. The "car team" was somebody's pet project that was NEVER going to turn into an actual product.
There are reasons no tech company has EVER successfully built a car.
