The Vision Pro announcement was not like the iPhone Announcement

[MrWayne]

If you compare between the Announcement of the iPhone and the Announcement of the Vision Pro. You know the iPhone is still the most important product for Apple.

Well of course. The smartphone was a well developed market in 2007. Many people were walking around with smartphones already. Apple took it to the next level, similar to cars going from ICE to EV.

Vision doesn’t have a market yet. The headset market still being created. Everyone is still questioning the utility and social acceptance of such products.

You have a very good point!

Apple moved away from mocking the competition. That was a very Steve Jobs thing and it came from what he considered his top notch marketing company they contracted with. Recall the jabs during Apples Keynote Mac OS X vs Windows Vista.. Or the Mac vs PC. Or how Android is 4-6 years behind iOS.

I disagree. VR is established and socially acceptable. There are polished commercial products on the market and even VR arcades all over the place. Even developing nations have VR in some of their malls. VR is here, many billions spent developing it. Definitely not an uncertain product.

I made a similar post shortly after the announcement that compares the keynotes in several ways:
