$300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device::Apple is selling developers a $300 USB-C dongle to connect the Apple Vision Pro to a Mac, but in this incarnation, it turns out to be no faster than Wi-Fi.

Just extracting wealth from the ~~cult~~ fans and tech illiterate. And they will keep pushing the insane prices, until people stop paying (sounds familiar). I wish they'd use their absurd profits to actually bring to market something truly spectacular. Dyson makes more daring and innovative products, funded by vacuums, heh.

dyson is in every sense the apple of vacuums lol

Agreed. To be clear, I only meant this in the most insulting way to Apple, the proud engineers of $300 goggle straps and $1000 monitor stands.

You realize how massive of a marketing pull both of those are right, the 1000 dollar wheels were like 20% why people didn't forget the mac pro 2 days after it was announced.

It's Closed Source. No one truly knows how it really works. That means you were right to begin with. It's a gorramn cult.
