Apple Vision Pro is Dead // Apple’s BlackBerry Moment!

The Apple Vision Pro is a colossal failure, and much like BlackBerry, has launched a product out of touch with the mainstream audience and killed it by pricing it way too high. The Apple Vision Pro is a great product that I enjoy using sometimes but still isn't quite ready, and feels like a beta product that Apple charged way too much for, especially considering their competitiong is 75% cheaper and has more support.

Part of the problem is it doesn't cater to the VR enthusiast like other headsets have in the past. The lack of native controllers and connecting to a Mac or PC for wireless PCVR (not screen sharing) was a huge miss for Apple. Their reluctance to call it "VR" is also part of the problem along with the $3,500+ price. The Quest 3 is 85-90% of what the Vision Pro is at 1/7th the price.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Them not calling it a VR headset doesn't matter. Enthusiasts already know if they're the target audience for the Vision Pro. Most average consumers just don't care about wearing a headset.

[@freecivweb4160]

I thought the same about my iPad gen 1 but nah it's worth nothing.

[@TheSpacemanSpliff]

The lack of video/data input for the Apple Vision Pro is a HUGE negative. If I could could connect directly to external devices like my PS5 or PC mine would see so much more use. Everyone who experiences the Vision Pro says the cinema movie watching experience is the best feature, so why they excluded gaming from external devices is just mind boggling. Sure we can connect consoles and PCs wirelessly with 3rd party apps, but the resolution is limited to 1080p for PS5 (yes, the resolution created in 2005 🤦), and you have to deal with some compression and latency. If Apple had made the battery a passthrough device that allowed video and data input it would have increased so much functionality for the device, not just for gaming but as a legitimate workstation as well. The Apple Vision Pro would hands down be the best gaming experience device if it simply allowed input. Instead, Apple is keeping things within walls and expecting us to use apps from a super weak library in the app store, of which 99% are just terrible. It's such a let down because it's a fully capable device, but again it's being held back due to Apple's decisions. The frustrating part is that these are issues that could be fixed for the current Vision Pro, but it feels at this rate that Apple is focused on making the next generation better and leaving this one to die.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

To me the biggest automatic NO BUY with regards to the Apple Vision Pro isn't the price itself but rather that it doesn't even have AT LEAST Wi-Fi 6E (due to using the M2 chip instead of M3) which is unacceptable in 2024. 🤣🤣🤣

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

it's not ready for the masses, that's why it's not priced for the masses. I love mine and it will keep getting better, and there will eventually be cheaper versions.

[@martinhill9011]

And yet IDC reports that the Vision Pro has rocketed to number two with 17% market share second only to the Quest 3 on 37% market share in Q1 of this year despite only being available in the USA and despite launching only 3.5 months after that quest 3. And Apple has maintained the same level of sales in Q2 despite again only being available in the USA. Now of course, the Vision Pro is rolling out globally so we should expect significantly more Sales over the coming quarters.

[@dr.emilyacevedo812]

It was priced so pricey because it was made for a certain clientele. I was at the Apple Store in Williamsburg and I sat down in a section and was told that I couldn't sit there as it was for people who were buying the Apple vision pro. The funny thing there was no one buying one. I wasn't going to spend almost $4,000. There pricing is ridiculous.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Their. NOT there.

[@MetaVIRTUAL]

I think you missed the point of the product. Apple didn’t release it to be a big seller. It’s to push the industry forward. To bring down prices. To get the form factor down to sunglasses.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Agreed. The $3,500 price reflects the FACT that the 1st gen Apple Vision Pro was never intended to sell a lot of units at all because it was never targeted at average consumers to begin with.

[@vinapocalypse]

Apple has very long-term ideas of where it wants computing to go. To get there, you define a goal, then release products which get you towards that goal, adjusting as needed to get there. I knew the iPhone when it premiered was going to be a game-changer for portable computing but I didn't know how much; I didn't buy one though until the 3g when it felt to me it had finally had enough time to cook. At this point they have pretty much exhausted where smartphones as we know them can go; it will be mostly iterative (faster hardware, bigger/better software). The Vision feels the same way to me - a publicly available prototype for where they want to get to in the long term. It will be at least a coupe more generations before it will be ready for popular adoption. Right now it is an under-cooked replacement for a phone but seems to be a really interesting replacement for desktop computing and dealing with multiple displays. A couple more generations it might be ready for replacing or supplementing mobile computing screens. 10 years after that, who knows?

[@brianc3271]

I'll tell you the biggest problem with this headset; it's the price! I am an absolute believer of this device, and am a total fanboy of the tech! So I bought a meta quest 3 back in February, and ever since the v68 update came out, refining the free floating window experience, this thing does a solid 90% of what the Apple vision pro does. It also plays games that are 100% better than anything that the AVP has to offer. And the price tag for the AVP is not unaffordable for me, but spending that much money on a device that has a cheaper competitor at 1/5 the price is just Ludacris. Even being able to afford it, I know that I can put that money towards something else more beneficial since a cheaper device can accomplish most of the same tasks. So if someone like me, that believes in the tech, and can afford the device without going bankrupt, won't buy it, then no one is buying this thing. Apple must lower the price to get a majority of techies on board first, and then make it lighter and smaller in order to appeal to the masses.

[@clintgraden3875]

Most people don’t make it into the new paradigm. Ever. They just don’t get it. Allow me to say that rumors of AVP demise are greatly exaggerated.

[@ArtGoosby]

I think Apple made it pretty clear early on that this really should only be for developers and that the second lighter iteration would be for the poor people.

[@MarcoBeSomething]

I think the issue is the crossover of its computing power with the affordability and convenience of the product. I feel there will be an Air version eventually but maybe they try something different. Instead of being a headset maybe they pivot from being a standalone product to being an accessory in the ecosystem, in a glasses style that you mentioned and we’ve seen before in other products.

The Meta Quest benefited the most from the release of the AVP.. I'm sure the AVP got a bunch of people interested in VR that had never even considered it before.. Then they start seeing it compared to a $500 headset that's a 4th or 5th generation product with a extensive app catalog.. A lot of people probably said let me try that $500 gadget out... Apple's biggest mistake wasn't the price, Apple customers are use to paying more for less.. the biggest mistake was not having apps ready to go at launch.. those few 3D experiences, and being able watch movies, and remote desktop just wasn't enough to keep people occupied..

[@CloudflyerPPG]

This is probably the worst opinion on Apple Vision Pro that I’ve heard. I use my AVP every single day multiple times per day. AVP biggest strength is absolutely productivity at work. Second would be as a media player when you’re by yourself because nobody wants to watch TV with somebody wearing it. Third is 360 video playback. 99% of the time when I reach for my computer I also reach for my AVP. I have a Google meet meeting every morning that they want your camera on, AVP put my persona up so I don’t have to spend my time getting ready to be on camera. One of the best computer investments I’ve ever made.

Great vid! Love your passion for tech. I think everyone agrees the price is insane for something that feels like a beta or prototype.

[@twitchster77]

I want apple to do a 'one last thing' at one of their upcoming events and to just show a short 10 or 15 second clip of a pair of controllers they'll be coming out with for the device. Something that shows they're now shifting their focus on gaming for the Vision Pro. This thing would be a monster of a gaming device if Apple would push for it. It'd go from being a complete disappointment...to something TONS of people would lust after. But so far...nah, Apple has shown no signs of pushing this device to make it something most would want. I don't get it. It makes me sad. I want one so badly...but even more badly, I want a reason to have one. So far I have no compelling reason. Spending $4k on a killer 3d screen isn't enough atm.

[@Andyxay]

it's really hard to justify buying a Vision Pro... It's not like it's a professional tool, not an everyday tool, not gaming device, not a basic tech need...

Meta Quest 2 sold the most in 2020 because of the pandemic lockdown. The sales numbers for the Quest 3 aren't amazing.

I fully disagree. I’m an architect and have two primary uses for it which has been very successful. First, I obviously use it for 3D client presentations. I have the 3D model from my CAD software converted to USDZ which natively opens in the Vision Pro (and any Apple device) without the need for an app. I don’t even have my clients use guest mode. I stream the VP’s view to my laptop and coach them through it. The second, I have set up a very nice mobile office in my SUV. I move the front seats forward and have a very roomy area to sit in in the back seats. I have a DJI Power 1000 for a TON of power for laptop, VP, etc., and I work under shade trees at the beach or in the mountains (I live in Hawaii so they’re quick to get to). I then open my laptop into 4K mode on the VP virtual monitor and have my text, email, music and browser apps surrounding it… with enough open space to see the beach view beyond.

Seems to me that your making lots of assumptions based on rumour. That is rumour probably designed to get people talking about it. Undeniably, this is a difficult product to sell as it is simply too expensive. However, it is also the beginning, whereas your analogy was the end. Most who look at it like what they see, just won’t buy it. They will probably buy the cheaper version. There will be a future for this, but Apple Is playing a long game.

[@JeZuse777]

I told you so. Would imply that i’ve talked to you before. I have not. I wanted it. Not for that price though

[@mrnohax5436]

Get the Apple Vision Pro 2 which would go for less but the amount of care they put into it will be a same as the amount you paid for it…. Which would be less in terms of giving a damn about a product that was cared for to a certain degree in the first version of it which is why it cost so much but why should I buy it if it does not come with KZbin let alone Netflix

[@techr1320]

It’s more of a winner at 1500

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Maybe to you and I but even at $1,000 or less it still wouldn't sell very well because most people don't want to wear a HEADSET. If anything, they want actual Smart Glasses which are still not a reality. Maybe in the year 2035.

Apple Vision is not dead, I heard the same rubbish with the Apple iPhone and Apple Watch. The Apple Vision was always a developer device and is still selling more than most Android phones, unless those too are dead.

Too ex. Not needed in our daily life

[@springfieldreserve]

Neat idea but walking around in ski goggles isn't a great look

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Apple Vision Pro wasn't designed to be walking around continuously. It's mainly meant to be used stationary while you're sitting down or laying down.

[@eastonbrewer1798]

Apple Vision Pro isnt dead but we have to wait it hasn’t even been available to buy for a year yet and just like most of the products apple has made even they have said that in the beginning everyone thought those products would fail. But, now they have over three trillion dollars so I think we just have to wait even if that takes years.

@@TechOdyssey haha! I actually forgot about that part from Google. Been a minute, as the kids say

[@freecivweb4160]

Not even close. But I did laugh at the joke. Google half-heartedly tries stuff, doesn't spend $$$ to develop it out because they're not sure. Then when it fails because not fully developed, they totally quit. Apple is on a completely different path with VisionOS. They broke a lot of ground with a brand new tech and didn't tarnish their image by keeping the installed userbase small. Now they're hard at work at the drawing board with a list of hundreds of ideas and improvements from the community and from developers. Very unlike Google I'd say.

[@jessel.8697]

Apple knows what it is doing. It is still developing updates for this product. This means that Apple still sees the Vision Pro as a viable product. The Vision Pro is a marketing product meant to build interest around a future Apple product or product category. Apple in no way thought that such an expensive product would sell in large volume. Remember this isn't Apples first time selling a product to a consumer. They are among the most profitable companies on the face of the earth. They didnt get there by accident.

[@freecivweb4160]

Tim Cook is no dummy. The Vision Pro is currently exactly where they expected it to be. Everything is going exactly as they have foreseen. You have a future tech that's going to be huge, and you have to put a flag in the sand to get people to know and expect that you'll be the king of the sandbox.

well pin this comment Vision Pro is going to be a success and ya'll will come back to this video and eat your own shit when it happens.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Your mistake is thinking that the Apple Vision Pro hasn't sold well because of the $3,500 starting price. That's not true at all. The reasons why it hasn't sold well are: 1. Most people don't want to wear a HEADSET. It doesn't matter if the price is $1,000 or less and has an Apple logo on it. Most people just don't care for this specific product category. 2. These aren't Smart Glasses. Once ACTUAL Smart Glasses become a reality, then we'll see those become mainstream though that doesn't mean that Smart Glasses will kill smartphones.

[@VoyagerGaming417]

I think it would have been better to forego the cutting-edge features and make it a $400 headset than to max it out at a price point that the vast majority of consumers cannot afford.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

A $400 Apple headset wouldn't impress anyone. Not even the current Apple Vision Pro has RETINA-level displays. The resolution on each display is about HALF of what it needs to be JUST to achieve RETINA-level clarity. The $3,500 price isn't the reason why Apple Vision Pro isn't selling. It can cost $1,000 or less and it still wouldn't sell a ton of units because most people don't want to wear a HEADSET. If anything, they want Smart Glasses and we're just not there yet. MAYBE in the year 2035.

[@MarcusWarcus40]

The product has been out for a few months and they’re already working on a cheaper version and releasing the 2nd vision OS. It’s a LITTLE early to be calling it dead when it just got started

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Only an idiot actually thinks the OS is version 2 when in reality it's 1.5. Hell, the new features that they're adding LITERALLY should've been available on the headset at day 1 launch. No excuses.

[@MarcusWarcus40]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M uhhhhh. So therefore the product is dead? Not sure what youre even getting at
