It was intended to humiliate you (the consumer) and your response is proof that it worked.

I think it's the subtle implication of mad science. "With our cutting edge $3,500 helmet, we have done the impossible! Through TECHNOLOGY, we shall turn the garden-variety negro into an intelligent, pacifistic, civilized creature! MUAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" and then go run off to try and use it to rob the Bank of England or something.

Nothing. It pumped up Apple's stock price with no negative side effects.

It was a first generation product, from a technical perspective it was a huge success. they already knew it wasn't going to sell a lot for the price it was at. The point is to give them a hedge for making cheaper ones in the future

imagine how much more successful Apple would be today if they had invested the RnD into AI instead

>>105970923
even for its price they sold way fewer of them than they actually expected. the price wasn't the issue because itoddlers have no concept of value. it was that they're just useless headsets you can barely do anything with.

>>105970923
iJeet cope
applel literally never does this
they've always made worthless trash massively marked up to 10x the competitor's prices
the only failure they had was they couldnt brainwash their braindead retard fanbase it's good enough to buy

>>105971048
it's not good enough to buy. there is no killer app that makes spending $3,500 and looking like a retard worth it. maybe if they had made an iFuck app and let you fuck your friends it might have sold.

>>105970951
This whole thing where companies chase the hype cycle and beg wall street for more money is a different era. When Jobs was around it wasn't like this. It's not aligned with their culture.
This whole era of wall street driven development is just going to be a fluke, the current bubble is bad for innovation

>>105971048
microshit buys their laptops for their employees to write code with. that's how good they are

I want to love it. But $3500 and no killer app (maybe there is a killer app how would I even know since there is absolutely zero marketing) makes for a tough buy.

>devs know no one is going to own one, like less than 0.1% of the iphone owning population will have one
>Apple couldn't even be fucking arsed to prepare BASIC apps like youtube at launch, which should have been extremely simple
>You can't wear that thing outside in most of the world without a constant fear of it being ripped off your face, even if its price tag isolates it to more affluent areas you're still only capturing a small more confident audience
>Use it indoors and you get all the same issues as regular VR ("This is easier on a phone or a computer", "Oh thats blurred", "oh it slipped a bit", "oh that thing doesn't work right")
It was shit, far too expensive and way too small a launch offering plus they didn't even make enough units to theoretically meet demand.

It happens to the best of us. Good thing we have a closed garden ecosystem filled with rabid fanboys who will not care about our failures.

Apple makes fashion products and this one wasn't fashionable.

Visors are a retarded idea to begin with. Niggers look silly and dumb, so that ad reinforced the visor = retarded association.

>>105974106
That doesn't make it portable.

Nobody wants VR, every time people say "just wait until the tech improves EVEN MORE!". People suffer through shit tech if it does something they want, noone cares about how good something is if it doesn't offer something they want.

>be apple
>be allowed to make really expensive thing that will sell, because you have a cult following
>instead of using that advantage, make something that is trash and is expensive
are they literally retarded or did they decided to cheap out on it?

>>105969901
There's a thread up rn about Jaguar making a complete dogs ear of a new marketing launch. They aren't on the same planet as this shit tho. Absolute Honk.

how tryu

>>105971660
I remember trying this out in the store back in 95-96, can't remember. And just going... wtf this is it? It was just a bunch of red lines and kinda hard to focus. Then proceeded to go rent Resident Evil 1 for Playstation. Best weekend ever.

>>105969890 (OP)
The use case for the Apple Vision Pro is almost entirely fulfilled by laptops for cheaper and with less theatrics. VR is useful for immersive/active gaming experiences and some more niche use cases. If I want to edit on Photoshop, I want to have that entire environment laying in my hands, so-to-speak, which is what having the entire interface laid out right in front of me feels like. Ironically, having this tool in more compact form factor makes it feel more like an engaging tool (like a wrench) than physically being transported inside the wrench. You would think it would make PC-type experiences better, but for most it seems excesssive. Besides, the "immersive" element of VR-assisted PC use is literally just the screen simulated at a roughly equivalent distance from your face as an actual screen, but usually lower resolution and with maybe lower FPS. Just a downgrade being used to try and justify this product which is almost inherently made for different experiences (again, like VR games).

Perhaps the market will pick up when smart glasses fulfill similar experiences andgoals.

>>105969890 (OP)
I might buy this/next year's refresh given how bad the competition is dropping the ball. Where the fuck are the Moohan, Deckard, Visor? The only existing competitor is the Play For Dream and it's underpowered and half-baked.
VisionPro is the headset I want the least due to how closed down the platform is but it feels more and more like the only choice I have.

>>105969890 (OP)
It's a version 0.95 product. It's where the iPhone was pre-4s, but you're expecting it to be the XS.

>Not compatible with anything
>Not made to be compatible with anything

It failed, because it's Applel shit, but not made for poorfags to buy as a status symbol.
>>105970025
People have wanted and still want to wear stupider shit than this, it used to be all about society, but now it's about media presence. Honestly their VR marketing is basically just "This is how dumb you would look with a headset on", so it's not really a surprise that they didn't do jackshit to normalize it.
>>105970923
>first generation
lmao, no. First generation VR was in the 1960s and this isn't even the first generation of the current wave of 2010s VR.
