Edit: oh god, what have I done! Yea, mobile + autocorrect got me good here.
Hopefully corrected version here with original below …
So my hot take since before launch has been that this will be the end of Tim Cook‘s tenure. The more they lean into the product, as it seems they will with the next model, the more likely that seems to me.
Roughly speaking, I get the feeling it’s the first wholly new product pushed by Cook. And a big flop is never good for Apple‘a brand power.
How off do you think I am?

I thank you for can barely understand this edit of your comment, but I think you’re saying this is Tim Cook’s Lisa Computer?
I don’t see why one failed product would do that when everything else is still amazingly profitable. They can afford to take risks with a product, and they actually should try to expand outside of phones and computers.
Tim was probably on the way out sooner rather than later anyway, but I don’t think the larger problem with the Vision Pro is that the Venn diagram of people who think it’s cool and people who can afford it is way, way too small.
So, how’s it going, minority of folks who said this product was the second coming of christ? Still happy you purchased $3500 of r&d for apple?
These were being lauded as the most revolutionary pieces of tech ever by several users that I saw. None of them mentioned Dev work. Only productivity. Those users are who I’m referring to
Because it’s a pile of fucking shit.
Who wants to spend over 3k on a headset you can’t even game with? Let alone has hardly any app support on launch.
It’s far from a pile of shit. It’s incredibly engineered. It’s also useless because of the lack of content and apps. It’s an awesome device that lives in a drawer in my closet because there’s no use for it as is. It’s disappointing.
This was predicted before launch.
As soon as Apple announced that it was going to be used for “productivity” it was blindingly obvious they didn’t know what to do with it. Still don’t get that the games market is the biggest market there is.
It’s like they don’t even want to make money.
Meh, it seems like the same old playbook Apple has used before. V1 of a new product line is expensive AF, it’s not really intended to sell like gangbusters, it’s intended to be splashy and to learn from the product being in the wild.
The real money to be made is on the lower cost iterations that are built after they learn what did and didn’t work from the pricy version.
no shit, it’s almost like most new apps release at launch.
