At $3500 it won’t. Even at $1500.
Everyone wants a Mercedes but Kia and Hyundai sell more cars every year because they make cars that look act and operate like the over priced German variants
The sales of the Meta Quest 3 have already started exploding since the Vision Pro released
I agree version 1 is always the first step, always a tad rough around the edges, but couldn't disagree with you more about world changing. To change the world you have to have that first step, that first vision and that is when the change starts. People argue the iPhone wasn't complete until version 4 (game changer), but it was version 1 that caused all the competition to scramble and either come out with their own version (Samsung) or lose market share (blackberry).
But not everyone is an early adopter and thats fine.
Wearing goggles on your face is a different use case than other Apple products in the past so not comparable. Just because past products eventually sold well doesn’t mean this will. People are saying that to justify their purchase. I’m curious to see what happens before and up to the 16th when the first round of the return window happens and every day following will be another return window for somebody. Kuo and Gurman articles coming up soon to let us know about the return rate and such
That's cool for the headset market in general. I just hope they don't expect to get the same experience & capabilities as Apple Vision Pro and claim on these forums that they do.
One cost a few hundred dollars. One costs a literal used car, or two months rent on a loft in Chicago. I think your assumptions may be slightly off.
You mean talk about the potential for meta quest 3 sales to increase has already exploded, with people saying Meta might now actually ship as many as they projected. Because there are no actual sale numbers out this week for Meta Quest 3. But I get it, you are enthusiastic.
Yep even the 512 k Mac was better than version 1. Thats the way of things. Curious did you own the original 128? I did and I dont regret it for a moment. I did eventually upgrade to the plus, but the time between was a lot of fun times. I imagine it will be the same for me with the AVP.
I find these reviews interesting in a sense of what stupid things should I note do, or okay haven't had time to try that yet so it's interesting to see. The actual commentary sometimes leaves a lot to be desired and frankly I dont care if someone thinks they are affordable or not. They aren't. 
It might be futile given the different price points, but perhaps MacRumors could do a comparison between Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 (which seems to pop up a lot as something perceived comparable) about what each of them can and cannot do and is and isn't.
Meta must be delighted about all the new user data to collect!
The problem is with this is just because they changed the world doesn't automatically mean this will.
I also disagree the iPod changed the world, it certainly changed Apple from one selling expensive, niche computers to one selling a highly desirable mass consumer device but at the end of the day it was a nice MP3 player. They existed before and they existed afterwards, and now the iPod is no more.
I bought the Mac Plus (that was a lot of money for me, back then). And a 20 MB Supermac hard disk. A great setup for that period of time.
I used it for college, and for work. The lab that I worked in had an Apple Laserwriter. That, plus MacDraw for block diagrams and schematics, allowed me to print a very professional looking college thesis. I remember people asking me how I was able to produce that.

Totally, they could have so many cool interactive touches when you are at a sports game, a museum, a historical site… heck even in a movie theater or on amazon prime, seeing floating “xray” features off to the side, like cast or music in a scene, could be very cool.
I wont be buying this unless I get a new job this quarter (could happen), and even then I dont see too many use cases for me personally… but gd i want one to play around with it, and potentially start developing apps for it as well.
Really? I forget im wearing my airpods and sunglasses ALL THE TIME (dont really wear hats).
Don't think thats unusual.
Time will tell…
For starters, I have my demo scheduled for this coming Wednesday, very excited

For an product that would be “revolutionary” and would be “insanely demanded”, Apple and all fora use a suspicious lot of advertising.
It’s almost as if this revolutionary thing, which already exists for servers years, is not that highly demanded after all.
I mean, i too can make something with very limited stock and than brag about how successful it is and that I sold out.

Which is over $7000 in 2024 dollars so, the price isn't too bad considering this too is a groundbreaking GUI.

I was a bit ahead of you in school, got my 128 through the school program (you may or may not recall there were 11 consortium schools that Apple hand picked for launch days so we not only got first look, we got 50% off) and wrote the first version of my pHD Thesis swapping floppy disks. I did mod the 128 into a 512 myself. Did love that SuperMac hard disk though when it came out.
But even the Mac Plus was laughed at during its day. Still had some rough edges
I wouldn’t use this skateboarding but so far I am impressed and think it will make me more productive and enjoy my work more. The complaints most people worry about are less important than the real issues. The battery is really never an issue but you are aware of the FOV and that needs to get better. I didn’t ever get bothered by the weight but it has crashed for me 2x compared to other apple devices that is pretty often. The eye tracking is amazing but there can be misclicks. The Mac is screen mirroring but I could switch between Mac apps and it works amazing.
The theater viewing experience is surreal it’s so good.
Still would not take it skateboarding.

I thought that was pretty cool as well. I was envisioning windows that have relative positions to the wearer, not pinned locations in the actual physical space. Neat!
Counterpoint: The iPod, and associated iTunes Store, changed the entire music industry and, arguably, digital sales. The iTunes Store model is what underlies the App Store, which undeniably has changed the entire mobile computing landscape.
