Vision Pro is a significant flop so…

But a lot of people online said it was the future tho!

I mean, it’s still really cool tech. It’s just useless except for some very niche uses and it’s far too expressive

far too expressive

Is why it's a flop. Without the ability for people to buy it, it's a paperweight, or at best, a cool science project from the smartest kid in class.

Definitely true. I will say that the sheer amount of high tech crammed into the Vision Pro package necessitates that price tag. Not to mention the R&D and testing to do so. Like I completely understand why it costs as much as it does.

Still not going to buy it though.

The sycophant culture around Apple hardware releases is real.

Yeah, I'm not going to spend $3,500 to look like that in public, especially when I can look even dumber for free.
