It wasn't an error on Apple's part. It was deliberately delayed to the first update with new features.
Just as with enterprise management features.

Exactly.
Like most large tech companies, Apple marches to a timeline, having to coordinate myriad events/aspects relating to a product release - especially one a complex as AVP. If there are still some minor issues that are unresolved, they'll take a back seat to introduction. And be fixed in multiple future updates.

Nope. Just reporting how product releases work in the tech world having been involved in a few in the past. Sounds like you're not familiar with that.
Please let us know when you run across a company that delivers complex products with 100% perfection 100% of the time on introduction day. I've yet to find one.

That’s good news. It will save a lot of people a long round trip or weeks without their devices should they be locked out!
Apple discovered, or was made aware of, an error/issue in their 1st release of their complex software for their brand new product. And promptly fixed it.
What is there to highlight beyond the MacRumors story? That Apple did the right thing after the issue was discovered and promptly fixed it, as expected?
"critical feedback" is ok, but (seemingly) most are only bickering, just go through the news stories over the past month or so or look in the VPro forums ... the VPro will have limited use initially (at least 1-2 years) for the average consumer and this 1st version is not targeted for that average consumer.
Or you know, as the wealthiest company in the world with unlimited resources that prides itself of making great products just release it when you have all the basic features included, not in a beta state. Specially if it’s a new product. It never ceases to amaze me how far people can go to defend their beloved company they spent their money on lol
as long as humans are writing/coding SW - there will be bugs ...
and if/when AI writes SW - remember who taught AI
That's not how it works. You may not be aware that released products with complex software often has bugs that are not discovered until after release.
"It never ceases to amaze me how far people can go to defend their beloved company they spent their money on lol"
Why the personal insults? I'm not defending Apple. Just expressing how new tech products are released and to not expect 100% perfection 100% of the time; especially on a complex product such as AVP.
The good news is Apple promptly fixed the issue after it was discovered. Try and find some happiness in that.
You can't just throw resources at project. Pick the stories that will make the release cut and everything next gets pushed to new sprint. Rinse and repeat.
So delaying the option to reset a new product in case of a forgotten passcode is “planned” because you can’t reset any of their other devices when you forget a passcode, right?
Also before you do, don’t give me any of this garbage that visionOS is its infancy. Age is no excuse for a trillion dollar plus company.
Complex software for a password reset? When it already exists in nearly every consume product made since idk 1979?
I never said "password reset" is complex.
It seems you are not aware that in a device as complex as AVP, there's a huge amount of complex software written by many dozens of software engineers that handles a huge number of aspects of AVP's operation.
With software dealing with password reset being just a tiny one of those aspects in what could be many (thousands of) lines of code. Apparently that one function, out of perhaps thousands, wasn't tested thoroughly enough with respect to Apples AVP product/software test plan that perhaps focused more on other aspects.
You may also not be aware that despite a company's best efforts to test such a huge piece of software, there is rarely 100% perfection 100% of the time. And as a result, a bug or functionality will slip through. With any company. I've certainly seen that with companies I've worked for over the years.
The good news is, and what you should be happy about, is that Apple promptly fixed that issue soon after it was reported/discovered.
As a Vision Pro user, I agree. It's important to highlight the deficiencies for the device and complain as needed, if we want future generations to be better.
Living in a delusionary state where it's all a pretty garden with flowers is the wrong way to go about things, with anything.
Complaining about the issue days after Apple promptly fixed the problem is strange.
I get it, it feels good to complain. Even when there is no longer a problem to complain about, apparently.
It is even sadder than that. No one is actually happy doing that. They are just cultivating negativity.
Although on the other hand complaining does have a purpose sometimes.
How did I know this post was coming and now we’re going to play the technicality game aren’t we?
Again, this trillion dollar company that already has quite a few devices on the market, couldn’t think and then implement such a basic feature which you just said you didn’t like because someone ”could” hard reset it, which is now coming in 1.1.
Try again please.
That’s not how it works. This is a fundamental feature so it’s among the first ones in the development timeline. This is clearly an oversight
Apple overestimated the ability of those people with $3500 to spare to remember their passcodes for more than 3 days? 😀
Yes it is.
This is no different than the first iPhone not having 3G, iPhoneOS 1.0 not having the ability to move apps between pages, iOS not having copy and paste until 3.0, or folders until 4.0, and so forth.
Apple ships when the important stuff is ready. I assure you they didn't "forget" to add this. They simply decided it didn't need to make the cut for 1.0.x.
Apple’s secrecy leads to oversights like these. Now the beta testers aka early adopters will point out the teething problems and some will be fixed and some will require a new hardware revision.
