The Apple Vision Pro Was Always Doomed to Fail

👉 To try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.com/A.... You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription.
The demand for these $3500 headsets has been low, and production has even slowed down due to these sluggish sales. Tech reviews have slowed down, and it looks as if people have moved on from the Vision Pro so quickly. This begs the question - why does no one want the Apple Vision Pro?

The product is just way too stupid expensive in an era of world financial struggles for most average American. Apple doesn’t concern itself of who can afford it. In an interview, Tim Greedy was asked "Do you not think this product is too expensive? He sarcastically replied -I don’t know!, AKA I don’t care with a laughter". Most have seen the product for what it is, but consumer behavior and this generation of people allowed these prices to exist. Some products are good and bring people together, but today’s trend many products are bad, pointless, expensive, poor quality, and don’t bring people together.

It's not only the price, but the fact that the Quest 3 is comparable in all the things they both do. There's also very little on it. Its basically juat a VR computer. $500 for a headset with a big library of games or $3500 to wear a MacBook on your face? It ia cool tho.

Like the first TV sets? Electricity? Automobiles and the internet?...they became "needed". The question is, will these? If this could be put into a regular set of glasses (so I could see rl around the edges) and they were lightweight and affordable, I would go for a pair of VR/Augmented-Reality glassed.

[@s4turns_lov3r50]

@nunya___ arguably they became needed because they were completely original; they served a new purpose, this has been seen before ( aperture mentioned VR headsets with video games) and clearly hasn't kicked off. I'm sure there will be new developments with this product in order to boost popularity and improve efficiency but for now it seems wholly unnecessary

[@nunya___]

@@s4turns_lov3r50 I agree, it's not needed. But maybe Apple's bid for the VR market will drive innovation with developers (because it's Apple) and force Quest to push harder in their R&D.

[@kjv.95]

because its a $3,500 dollar motion sickness machine.

[@peterk6797]

I think the right way to view this product is as a prototype, whether it was intended or not. Get it out there so developers could create apps specifically optimized for the product, etc. The only issue is that the cost is so prohibitive that there isn't enough demand/usage to make it worth it for any dev to create an app. Using the existing apps and ecosystem can be ok, but it won't push the boundaries of what it may be capable of in the future, so the product won't evolve (like smart phones).

[@dvdmon]

To be honest, I don't think people are avoiding it for any other reasons that it is a) ridiculously expensive, the cost of two higher-end laptops, and b) there's no compelling use case. It's a cool gadget but it hasn't revealed anything that is so useful that a significant number of people wouldn't just opt for a different brand or simply wait for Apple to come out with a more reasonably priced alternative. The "pro" in Vision Pro suggests that that's just what they will do. If they can get the cost under $1,500, or better yet under $1,000 and add some of the missing features like KZbin and Netflix support, etc., then there's at least a chance that a lot more people would take the plunge. We also have a growing anti-screen movement, a recognition that screens are taking us away from "real life" and products that shield half your face while presenting a digital version to everyone in an attempt to make it appear like your face isn't being shield, just appear to be a supercharged version of a screen, which they kind of are. You basically have your eyes within an inch or two of these screens whenever you wear them. I think there is reluctance on a large segment to get hooked to another type of device after all the downsides we've seen with people becoming addicted to their smartphones. I feel like this will be less of an issue for glasses that are more subtle like the metaverse Raybans, but since they don't have Apple marketing around them, they won't sell much, it will probably take Apple to intro a competing product to that as well, but maybe Apple has just lost its famed ability to created new types of devices and make them suddenly adopted by a huge segment of the market. I don't think there's been a new TYPE of device introduced by them since the iPad. Of course, the smartphone and the tablet weren't invented by Apple, they just made the ubiquitous due to their marketing and engineering...

[@philippemarcil2004]

Comparing the apple vision pro to the iphone is a bit weird considering that the VR market is very very small. This come from the perception that apple created the smart phone market but that isn't true. When the iphone came out in 2007, Nokkia, by itself, was selling $51 Billion Euro worth of cellphone. Garnett estimates that 1.1 billion cellphone was sold in that year alone. Apple didn't create the smartphone market as simply took a big bite out of the existing cellphone market with, at the time, a superior product that everybody copied. In 2022, the global VR headset market was only $7 Billion USD. There was a never a market for the apple vision pro to take over and I don't think that the vision pro is a really superior product - especially at that price point.

[@Aalexishernandez]

Most people who buy VR use it twice at most. Oculus was cheap enough for the middle class to give a try, but this will flop. Epic failure on Apple's part to make it a pricey standalone instead of an iPhone/PC accessory.

[@TheRealWillM]

Cost certainly (reason not to buy) also they're application specific, if I have a work related use for it (I don't yet) then it could be an indispensable tool, otherwise there is no benefit to having one, even if it was heavily discounted. Outside of gaming, I think for the general population until 'they' reduce it's size and weight down to a pair of glasses I don't think you'll get widespread adoption.

Instead they focused on a niche product that even the gaming companies could not make mainstream (amd gaming is the one area that has the strongest argument for VR and AR). EVa is where the next tech battle will be. Certainly for the near future. And they are not a player in it. Interestingly its Sony with its Afeela EV that basically made the Apple car.

If you put on a VR headset and you had to choose between a virtual desktop and a recreation of the best dream you ever had - the BEST! which would you choose? If we had to describe VR to someone who’d never heard of it, we might say something like: Virtual reality is a high-tech blindfold that blocks out reality like a pair of closed eyelids. So, our body is here in the material world while we ourselves are miles away. We don’t see reality; we see an illusion that appears to be made of matter but isn’t. If we had to describe dreaming to someone who doesn’t dream, we might say something like: We dream behind a pair of closed eyelids. So, our body is here in the material world while we ourselves are miles away. We don’t see reality; we see an illusion that appears to be made of matter but isn’t.
