 rip vision pro?

 That was quick 
 They needed a flop. I don’t think the concept is dead, but this version was not meant to “work”. 
 Do you think there is enough of a desire for this for a mass market? Not sure atm, not sure in the short term either. vr generally, even  
 Most of the reviews said there was no apps and nothing to do on it. My theory is devs are finally fed up with being treated like shit. Even netflix refused to make an app. It even stopped me from getting one. You know what apple? Fuck you. 
 jobs is rolling in his grave seeing the late stage fiat rentseeking business apple had become 
 He was a war CEO, this clown is a peace CEO. He just milked whatever he could milk instead of pushing forward.

I used to work in film post-production, what they did to us with software and hardware updates… it was just killing an entire part of their business and go focus on pop culture instead. They now try to gain some of it back. 
 Tim Cook has always been waiting for those sweet words. Choose one, Walliam Casarian. 
 Cute boys were created to be tortured. 🫀 
 When they get multimonitor working, I’ll buy one. That’s the only good use for VR imo. 
 yeah 
 Like a dolphin 🐬 comes out show's some flair and go under fast 🤣 
 What did they expect. They made glasses that look like shitty ski googles that are 3.5x more expensive than your phone. 
 Woah. That was fast. 
 Much cheaper options for general purpose ar headsets. With meta releasing horizon os other manufacturers can make application specific headsets for less. Doesn’t leave the Vision Pro with much of a market at that point. 
 Strong butterfly keyboard feelings on this one.  
 Really? The functional design seems fine to me. So did the butterfly keys though. 
The software side seems much more problematic to me, with most major iPad apps apparently unavailable. The iPad launch might have gone very differently with no access to the entire iPhone app library. 
 The device is fine but it is no Apple Watch.  
 True 
 Definately too early for their vision. Needs to be way lighter. Feel like live sports content could be a killer app and add another revenue stream for Apple or whoever figures that out. They own mls rights should start testing out experiences like watch Messi from the best seats in the stadium only on apple vision pro. 

This was an interesting discussion about the Apple Vision Pro and future of AR/VR

 Saw that coming. No practical uses 
 Something like this will be very useful for dynamic navigation dental implant surgery but this is a pretty niche market 
 What was the use case? 
 famous last words 
 Panicking over here… 
 Two is also an Integer 

You’re not binary, are you? 
 Good news - that is a useless tool at its current iteration. 
 I'm SHOCKED!

 Cook gives john Scully vibes just in 2024 format. 

Innovation can't be taught in apple university. 

Ironically its the vision that's lacking. You need a vision of a product and incredible work and lots of decisions to get there. As I see the vision of which products to build is the issue
