Sketchy Rumor Says Vision Pro Will Launch in Final Week of January

I wish you luck! I buy on what's available now, not what could be. Too many companies have changed their minds or dropped products/services/features after the fact, despite big funding, big promises and big ideas. I don't like being on the bleeding-edge and I have no stomach for early adoption and its pitfalls.
I always wait about six months after a new product/model is released before I consider buying, Mac's and iPhones included. New categories like this would 2-3 years out for me, at least.
To each their own! 😊
Because it’s neither here nor there. As my therapist once told me, potential is meaningless. Don’t be with someone because of potential. Don’t stay in a job because of potential. It doesn’t exist. It’s your fantasy.
I find it interesting that the few very loud Vision Pro fans on this forum spend most of their time pushing fantasy use cases and “dreaming” instead of actually talking about the what the product can do and why anyone might want that stuff. In my mind it makes the case for AVP being a success even less likely if all the fans can talk about are non-existent features and use cases that might happen one day well into the future. Or might not.
I know. I was speaking with respect to cellular phones, a marketed they dominated.
What cracks me up were all the naysayers here back when Apple introduced iPhone. And proclaimed it would flop.
Just like iPod before that.
I do not believe for a second Apple is going to launch this without an event
It didn't bode well when the initial rumors came out and the #1 response from fans was "this is for DEVELOPERS ONLY". Apart from that being a major cope as Apple doesn't release "developer only" consumer products, it again hinges the success of this device on imagined potential.
I've been extolling the virtues and use cases of AR for at least two years now.
The trouble is it seems nobody is even remotely curious about the tech and willing to do even a wee bit of their own research, think about the possibilities, or even have a conversation. Clearly Timo is an exception.
I get it. It's much easier to proclaim new Apple products a flop and call it a day. There's a very rich history of that. And a forum cred-builder.
If this were true we'd still be sitting around in caves wondering if rocks were edible.
Naa, we moved on and up because we did, not because we had then potential to do.
Potential just means you're capable, it doesn't mean you have intention or ever will do something.
precisely is what apple dont want it, if they wanna the revenue, they need to drop the price or else and they know it,
I agree, but I don't have much faith in shareholder-owned corporations in pushing humanity forward. Visionaries do that, not profit-maximizers.
I’ll add that those folks on here saying this isn’t for entertainment, but is instead for spatial computing are trying to put this in a box of their own making. I believe it’s up to the individual consumer to decide what it can be used for. I would be interested in its entertainment applications (like 3D movie experiences), but I fully recognize that others may not care as much about that aspect.
Based on many of the comments here, I believe I'm back in the USSR where commissars made all the decisions because the people — well, they were just, you know, people — not gilded experts like the commissars.
I believe in the power of the marketplace. If consumers think AVP sucks, it'll be a flop. If enough consumers buy it, it'll soar.
BTW, if this was my website, I'd restrict comments on certain posts to those who own at least 500 shares of AAPL, for they are the ones with skin in the game if a product fails.

based on this, i'll just wait for the vision pro 3S or the vision pro 5 pro max..
until it's just has easy to put this on as glasses / sunglasses (with no wires and batteries, etc) , it will never become mainstream.

It has the same battery life as the iMac
One of the people who used it said the demo was so good they would buy the device for that alone. I hope it’s impressive. I don’t care much for concerts but I could never afford to sit courtside at an NBA game. If this makes that semi possible…
Not necessarily true. You can use your phone to help you do surgery. It depends on what role the AVP is playing.
Cherry picked. That was the point. He was cherry picking so I did some picking too. Sorry the point wasn’t clear to you. Let me spell it out: the post I was responding to was a blatant fallacy. I replied with another similarly constructed blatant fallacy… to show how the original one proves nothing.
