  That’s one way to view it.

  On the other hand, it’s a first product in a new line for Apple who have an idealised notion of what they want it to achieve, but realise the technological limitations that exist before significant R&D is carried out. The first gen of any tech sucks in comparison to what comes later.

    I think the marketing for this thing misleads people on the technical limitations.

      Yeah, it’s weird because I distinctly remember them touting it as a dev kit at the launch event last year, yet there’s nothing at all about that on the website now.

    Yes and no, smartphone where affordable for more people than the vision pro. Also they solved real problem. In the case of the apple iphone, it was a combination of a lot of tools into one small device so that was nice. The apple vision is just a different VR headset marketed as 10x the price of a meta headset.

      They weren’t originally and they didn’t solve a problem. They added unneeded features to a communication device.

        I think that was the iPad.

      Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

  I find it fascinating how much advertising they pushed on release.

  I am not an apple person so I had no idea about it, but on that day I saw it in a there different places. First two I understand: Lemmy post, an ad on some website, but most amazing one was on my kid’s YouTube, started playing Marques Brownlee review after alphablocks episode. Like WTF? I don’t watch anything about Apple, don’t watch his reviews, but somewhat YouTube though that it was most relevant video for the content that was watched.

    That has nothing to do with Apple. Marques Brownlee pulls millions of viewers, and YouTube doesn’t suggest based on your watch history anymore, they suggest based on what keeps people watching.

    And I don’t think I remember hardly any videos where Marques is sponsored by the company whose product he’s reviews.
