    no, they werent. the ipad replaced the netbooks everyone wsa using until tablets became viable. again, an actual use case for a product.

    theyve been pushing these headsets for years now, and theyve gained little traction and not solved any of the common problems.

    anyone who thinks this is will some popular thing everyone will be doing is smokin the reefer, or just not paying attention

      do you seriously think retail consumers are the demographic Apple is trying to capture right now?

      talk to some creative professionals & craftsmen. my company used to work with hololens on a regular basis but there way too much jank in how it performed in a live setting. If the Vision Pro provides even the same level of utility but manages to make live object rendering & tracking consistent and reliable, they’re going to sell truckloads. Hollywood alone has probably 100 different ways to use this tech on set to slim creative workflows and save time (and therefore money). a $5000 headset is practically a rounding error when your principals cost 10x that per hour.

        nope, i think this will sellout to their core audience, the 1%s. its just funny many people think they are part of that number.

        but my point is, this isnt a mass market device. its not a new ipad or iphone… this is an imac. a niche product for their niche audience.

        even your example is hardcore niche and no where near an actual, large scale adoption

          why would it need to be a massive immediate retail success?

          moreover, why do you seem so irritated that you might not be the target audience here?
