Apple sold units in the hundreds and this will sell in the dozens. I love Samsung. They even copy Apples trash
Considering Google’s track record on platform commitment I don’t think so.They may have copied the AVP aesthetic, but they are smartly going to have it running a far more open and desirable to develop for OS
I mean they don’t literally have a magical photocopier. Cost of having a strategy of just copying whatever competition does.It’s been 1.5 years since the introduction and a year since the launch of the Vision Pro, yet Samsung still only has a non-working demo at their event. That’s not a good sign, they need to step up!
Considering Google’s track record on platform commitment I don’t think so.
killedbyGoogle.comWhich platform are you talking about?
They are very committed to android as well as android automotive OS
Google has started and stopped various projects over the years but entire platforms I don’t think they’ve been particularly flaky about.
Samsung doesn’t have better scalability than Apple.I think somewhere in the middle at a more reasonable price.
Samsung is also able to build it in scale.
Wouldn't it be something if Google or Samsung actually delivered a killer app for this thing.Sad thing is the AVP is still a solution looking for a problem. Yet Sammy is happy to start its photocopier.
I agree. But they are after a populist market for those who just wanna hate anything apple. Who knew there was a market for that? They must have been hangin’ around MacRumors.The most "innovative" thing Samsung did in this industry was popularize larger screen phones. Outside of that they've been content with being the shameless copy of Apple.
Clearly Apple and Samsung and Google have a different take on the future of AR/VR devices than you do. Me, I think AVP is a great v1 intro and I think that selling.a few hundred thousand at ~$3,500 each was very good.It will probably sell like it aswell 🍋
Anyone who calls AVP a "flop" fails to grasp the idea of new tech intro. Also [IMO] selling a few hundred thousand US$3,500 devices is hardly a flop.And it will flop like the AVP as well.
Android Automotive =\= Android Auto. Several cars exist that have Android Automotive and CarPlay, but no Android Auto…You’re from the USA I suppose? Volvo and many other brands use Android automotive. It’s open and carmakers can make the adjustments to make it look and feel like the rest of their brand.
Apple is closed and that’s why you won’t see CarPlay 2.0.
Which is why the price barrier is super irrelevant at this point. Even people who can afford it, and owns it, don’t use it. Which means it doesn’t matter if it costs ten bucks, because the use case hasn’t been proven yet. And that will NOT come from Samsung.None of the Android vs iOS comparisons are relevant here until Apple cuts about 70% off the AVP price so they actually get some buyers and developers interested in it in any quantity
They desperately need consumer interest (owners) in it to drive development interest
Even that doesn't assure it though -- just look at Apple TV Apps ...mostly just nothing but content viewing App portals.
Headset form factors still have many challenges to overcome with social acceptability, isolation, comfort, etc
Wrong, but the majority of the customers will never realize it because of our throwaway society: Samsung makes poor hardware with good specs, not good hardware with good specs. Other than that, you are right. Samsung’s most important skill is to make a cheap product seem like quality, when it is in fact just very selective performance optimisation.Samsung makes good hardware with good specs, but they have no vision, fantasy or innovation capabilities.
They are still playing the same copycat game. Kinda sad.
This has been Samsungs strategy long before iPhone. iPhone just changed who they copied.
