Both are great product lines though!

Hmm 🤔
If you say so I guess.

Apple reportedly cuts Vision Pro production due to low demand
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple is putting the brakes on production of the spatial computing headset due to low demand; the Vision Pro launched in the US earlier this year.

Apple sharply cuts back on Vision Pro production, The Information reports
Apple has sharply scaled back its Vision Pro production since early summer and could stop making the existing version of the mixed reality headset by year-end, the Information reported on Wednesday, citing people involved in building its components.
Literally anyone can do AI, especially if you throw privacy and security out the window.
How could they possibly be “iPhone moments” when both Watch and AirPods rely on iPhone to work?
Vision Pro was the closest, but clearly didn’t meet expectations.
They are not iPhone moments. Cook is not a product guy, he’s also overseen the Vision Pro which has not sold great at all. Apple need to pull it’s finger out before it loses the AI race. Google have Gemini which is already miles ahead and a great product, so much so it works on the iPhone!!
...that doesn't say what you are purporting it to say. Apple predicted 400,000 units sold in a year, and surpassed that.Hmm

Oh, can you show me someone who has launched a device as successful as Apple Watch or Airpods since then? Vision Pro sold more than Apple predicted. The AI "race" hasn't even started, just a giant rush to find a way to make money.
How is the iPhone an iPhone moment when it relies on cellular service to work?
If neither are iPhone moments, how in the world would someone expect Tim Cook to think the Vision Pro was going to be one? Nothing pointed to any sort of expectations of that level.
Maybe the smart move is not to be in the race in the first place. Who, apart from Nvidia, is making any money out of AI? AI has only been a means of attracting investment and so raising share value, it doesn't make enough of a return on investment to justify that investment or share value. AI costs too much money without a solid, profit-making use case. Billions of dollar/euro etc. are being spent on compute resources (datacentres, electricity, water ) to generate AI slop. AI slop has yet to be shown to generate revenue appropriate to its costs.

I agree with that, Apple has generally been good at avoiding trends and fads though the last few years it seems to have forgotten that ideology…
Read Apple’s own press release for Vision Pro. It literally quotes Tim Cook comparing Vision Pro to Mac and iPhone.
Even Nvidia isn't making the money their own stock projects them to make, they couldn't make that much in 30 years. All of these companies have money pouring in from investors, and they're handing it off to each other, it's a giant circle jerk of investor money being burned and nobody paying for anything.
Exactly. Many people already think Siri is a dumpster fire as is. Release what you’ve got. Absolutely. People wouldn’t be this impatient if you had attended to all along. The one thing that is on all Apple devices and they let it languish. I have no sympathy for them in this respect. Release what you’ve got.
Thank you for pointing this out.
I've become exhausted discussing how much this situation has been ret-conned by folks trying to downplay what a flop it actually is vs what Apple was hoping from the get go.
I couldn’t care less about this news or rumor from Gurman. How could you have an opinion when nothing is done yet, and the release is in 6 months
You mean the guy selling a product said the product is going to be a hit? Then why didn't they manufacture 10 million of them to prepare for the huge iPhone like launch? We've known the strategy for the Pro device since day 1, it's practically a dev kit.
The opinions are from those working on it and testing it.
Does anybody read the articles before commenting, or at all I guess?
The only ret-conning going on is that anyone, anywhere was acting like the product was going to be anything like an iPhone in popularity.
Yeah, sure it’s a dev kit. That was their strategy for sure. 😆
That’s why Tim Cook showed up on Good Morning America and Vanity Fair with Vision Pro.
Apple didn’t make 10 million because they were supply limited by Sony. Sony didn’t think it was going to be a hit and didn’t invest in a new OLED fab.
...But here's the thing. Nothing can change the fact that iPhones will be sold like hotcakes. Somehow, Apple get's away with it .. Every. Single. Year. I honestly wonder when their Blackberry moment hits them.
iOS 26.4 is expected to introduce a revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, but not everyone is satisfied with how well it works.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said some of Apple's software engineers have "concerns" about the overhauled Siri's performance. However, he did not provide any specific details about the shortcomings.
iOS 26.4 will likely be released in March or April, so Apple still has around five to six months to improve any lingering issues with the voice assistant.
When it first previewed the new Siri at WWDC 2024, Apple said it would have three main capabilities: on-screen awareness, personal context, and in-app controls. For example, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans, based on info from the Mail and Messages apps.
The new Siri was initially expected to debut with iOS 18.4 last year, but Apple delayed it. In July, Apple CEO Tim Cook said his company was making "good progress" on the more personalized Siri, and he said the features were on track to launch next year. However, if issues persist, then even an iOS 26.4 launch might not be guaranteed.

Did you expect something else?
Have you forgotten? A few months ago, OpenAI introduced so-called ChatGPT agents. These are designed to interact with programs and take on “everyday tasks”. For example, booking a restaurant. Or a hotel trip.
It's up to you to decide how everyday these tasks are.
BUT this year, OpenAI has introduced the beginnings of what Apple has been promising as a complete package for over a year.
You can think for yourself how realistic it is that Apple, with its limited AI resources, will be able to achieve in a few months what the developer and inventor of ChatGPT has not yet managed to do.
