In germany its below 2000€ a month and the average retired pensioner gets about 1400€ a month. I think selling this in Europe, specially during the ongoing recession is nearly impossible. Maybe they can sell some devices in Dubai or Monaco...Humble brag. Here in Finland, avarage salary is around 3000 euros.
I want to hear the reaction after they test itWould have loved to see the true audience reaction when Vision Pro was announced.
And you will have to buy two if you are in a healthy relationship and don’t want to turn into a lonely isolated person. Imagine you watch a movie on this and your BF / GF is sitting next to you but you are completely shut off. Seems sad

Here in Serbia avg salary is 700EUR, avg pension check is maybe half. It's not all about the money, this product is so so niche it's crazy.In germany its below 2000€ a month and the average retired pensioner gets about 1400€ a month.

Exactly. You could even listen to music or watch a show with your phone while sitting on the toilet. But sure you won't wear these glasses plus their battery pack. There is simply no real use case in the existing world. Only a total paralyzed person could have a little advantage from that, but besides that, i see nobody asking for this.Apple is really out of touch with reality. Nobody would use this more than a day even if given for free, let alone pay $3500 for the privilege. The ad proves it. Someone who wants to watch a movie would simply turn on the Apple TV. The designer would simply use a MacBook connected to a large display and an Apple Pencil. Someone who's packing their suitcase would simply answer their iPhone call by tapping their AirPods. The Vision Pro is a failed attempt to fix a problem or unfulfilled need that doesn't exist.
Yep. VisionOS. They revealed it toward the end. Makes sense since OS names tend to include the name of the product line, with the exception of iOS.
How is someone more of a zombie using this than their current array of devices? We all stare at screens almost constantly already. This just means you get a better experince when you want to focus on the content, and a better ability to multitask the real and virtual ("listening to TV" like we all do so often, but now the visuals can be just a glance away wherever we are). Personally, I don't think VisionOS takes over until AR happens, but I still will likely buy this day one, the lure of finally having a truly working HMD for day to day computing is just too great. Of course my decision depends a bit on edge case support -- can take video input from other devices? Without that, it's kinda DOA for me unless it can also replace all my older or non-apple device monitors. But my family also has a MessagePad 100 my family bought at launch and only taken out of the box a few times. Really the only Apple devices we didn't buy generation 1 of are the Apple 1 and iPod, so it feels worth it even if 30 years from now this is a curiosity in "open box" condition.Creeping sense of horror. Know what will happen to the world, when everyone turns into zombies. No way to stop it.
Not for apple. Besides the US the EU is their biggest market and they sell their products for much more money than they do in the US. All the other markets don't contribute much to Apples success. Asia has their own huge companies dominating the market and all other regions of the world are either failed states, developing countries or totalitarian regimes.The world is bigger than Europe really.
Look for Apple to plummet a bit for the next month... No AI. DOA headset. No essential software or services. But can't be emphasized enough what a joke this headset is. A massive failure Cook should've said no to.Glad I shorted Apple before this started..lol
You interact with eyes and small finger gestures, according to the presentation. takes less space than even using your phone. As long as the headset can see your fingers you don't need to move more than an inch or two.I mean when you interact with the headset. Who knows how well the gestures will work in the real world.
People going crazy about the price saying it will fail. Apple announced a new Mac Pro which cost more. The Mac Pro hasn’t failed. Why? Because despite the cost people buy it. They don’t need to sell loads of them to make money. The profit margins are high.
Yea, I get that but that’s not what you want when going mountain bikingYou can put an iPhone on your bike, acting as a bike computer.
Is great for navigation / touring for example as you have a much better and bigger display than overpriced bike computers.
