Shocked.
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
I would love to try one. Not for $3500.
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.
Budget
Still 1500 bucks
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.
Niche Product Fails to Exit Niche
It's a three thousand dollar monitor, what did they expect?
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.

They could be really good for some disabled people but that is not a huge market
