Apple has cut its 2024 Vision Pro shipments to 400–450k units (vs. market consensus of 700–800k units or more).

- This is just a sign that the market was saturated with early adopters. If anyone reads this as a sign that Apple has problems they’re probably a fucking idiotmonospaced
- Was the demand expected to be that great for a $3.5k product with no clear use case?yuekit
- Who is the homeless dude with no teeth?utopian
- Still think if Apple believed in the space they would've reduced their per unit markup. Their sales mirror every VR headset product drop by manufacturer.jonny_quest_lives
- Perfect for narcissistic knobs like the moron in the pic_niko
- SONY VR had a consumer friendly price point and ecosystem/games ready to go and it still was a niche product compared to their console salesjonny_quest_lives
- Microsoft Hololens sold roughly 300k units thru mid 2022 Meta Quest is an absolute juggernaut in the spacejonny_quest_lives
- Seems like Apple started work on this back when the VR/Metaverse hype was at its high point. By the time it was actually released expectations were alreadyyuekit
- granted my pov is more gaming side versus the harder to define "spatial computing" space Apple is trying to definejonny_quest_lives
- being lowered. There were even stories last year quoting people at Apple who said they disagreed with releasing it!yuekit
- if true Apple shoulda blown it out the door for $599 for gigglesjonny_quest_lives
- still not as bad as the $10k Apple Watch Edition from 2016jonny_quest_lives

- @utop It's even worse. It's Casey Neistat.garbage
- Considering all the tech in the vision I don’t think sub $1000 was even possible. This was never a major
Consumer device. It’s a proof of concept.monospaced - OBVIOUSLY Apple will learn from this, iterate, improve and develop as prices go down, tech shrinks and consumer base grows.monospaced
- The original iPod was heavy AF, clunky, etc. a few years later and the nano outperformed it at 20-30x smaller.monospaced
- the original ipod went from prototype to release in 9 months and retailed for $399 adjusted for inflation that would be $703jonny_quest_lives
- as for functionality the ipod was always "there" it wasn't sold as "think of what it could be"jonny_quest_lives
- also still a niche fanbase for upgrading saving 1st gen ipodsjonny_quest_lives

- You’re missing my my point entirely it seems. Ughmonospaced
- The Vision Pro will get lighter faster and cheaper. Again it was never meant to be a new iPod though. Nobody ever said that dude.monospaced
- when has an apple product ever gotten cheaper after launch? just curious. that's definitely non Apple behavior.jonny_quest_lives
- lemme check... https://www.apple.co…jonny_quest_lives
