Anyone in the U.S. who wanted a $3,500 Vision Pro may already have one. The only hope for increased sales is a rumored cheaper model in 2025.

    I happened to be in the apple temple to supplicate the priests there for an exorcism for one of my other infernal contraptions. I saw the vision pro sitting around while he did his incantations so I thought I’d check it out and it turns out they won’t let you without an appointment. It’s like they don’t want to sell these

      knowing apple, they probably have an “Apple Vision Air” in the works already. I’ve heard analysts say that Apple tends to do this with new product lines: start with an early adopter “halo” product that has everything you could possibly need, and then follow with a second gen that includes more budget options. Watching usage stats on the halo model gives them ideas on what can be cut for a budget model.

    This is what happens when you overcharge for something that has no real apps and its best competitor is 1/7 the cost with a plethora of apps.

    There is simply no incentive to buy the Vision Pro. It was dead on arrival.

      more people would buy a $3000 Apple monitor than VR. Lest we forget they sold a $1000 monitor stand and $700 pc wheels. I just looked and the Pro Display (XDR? what the hell is that?) is $5000. A 32 inch 16:9 display.
