Prediction: this will be considered Apple's biggest product flop in decades, and may even unseat the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_5300 for worst in company history. The whole product line will be scrapped before 2027.

Fortunately they have the cash to burn on projects like this to see what takes.

I'll post this in !prediction@lemmy.ca so someone can call me on it one day ;)

I heartily disagree. This is a 1.0 product, and though it’s deeply flawed in so many ways, it also nailed interactions that other companies have struggled with. They’re going to iterate and pivot on this platform for the next few years (and sell cheaper models) and they will find the sweet spot. This platform is here to stay.

How will they fix it? They need future tech. What Apple did right now is combine all the best current tech. It's gonna be a few years until our tech is actually good enough for these headsets to be seamless.

You’re conflating the perfect with the good. The question is not whether Vision Pro is perfect, it’s whether it’s good enough for today. I happen to think that it is for the goals the company has set (well under 1M units sold). But it will of course improve rapidly every year.

This is not new. This is every new product Apple has introduced.
