Don’t believe it. Designed to lower expectations while the product blows people away. As initially a largely a developer tool, a sale at near cost is reasonable. The lower cost versions will make up for it.

You don't blow away people with an anti-social $3000 device requiring a battery belt.

And no one will by an expensive mobile phone without a keyboard.

People switch to iPhone simply because they don’t want to be a green bubble. No reason for Apple to rush to change it.

I have used it since it was released with none of the problems described. I find it an absolute delight. 

I am a simple consumer, I will be purchasing one on day one. It is about half the cost of the original Macintosh (inflation adjusted) and I purchased that as well. I believe most are underestimating the demand this spatial computer will generate with the general public. Many "average Joe's" I know plan on buying one. Credit cards and payment plans are a wonderful thing.

I am no developer nor do I have a specialized use for the product. I just want to be an early adopter of breakthrough technology. It is fun. I will go wherever it is initially sold to purchase one on day one of launch. I am not alone. I know of at least six people who will similarly purchase early. Apple will be sold out immediately, and the demand will far out strip supply.

Used mine for about 8 hours today. The longest stretch was about four hours. I experienced no discomfort, and never felt that the unit was too heavy. I will be flying with it tomorrow, so it will be interesting to test it in that environment

Rules for disposing of batteries are fine. But, handicapping devices by mandating these changes is wrong. Perhaps we will find all devices with Vision Pro external batteries mandated in the future.

I am purchasing day one. Really looking forward to the spatial computing revolution.

Doesn’t get it. The $3500 price is an anchor. When a $2500 device is introduced it will be considered a bargain. If they led with $2500 it would have been considered expensive. They know what they are doing. Selling 180,000 in a few hours shows the marketing was pretty good. Three of my friends and I bought one and we are just regular folks, though three of us are 70+. We just love the idea of spatial computing. Can’t think of a better way to spend that social security money.

I find it interesting that people consider the Apple Vision Pro primarily a media consumption device when in my experience it has been a fabulous productivity increaser. I often use it in concert with my MacBook Pro, going back-and-forth between vision apps, and Mac Apps. It is ideal for zoom meetings and for seeing documents being displayed. I find I spend more time in productivity activities than I do in media consumption, although I do like it for media consumption. I also love the fact that one can do spatial Home movies. Typically I will use my Vision Pro from 4 to 6 hours a day, and forget that I’m even wearing it. I use the solo strap combined with a second soul strap to support the weight from above with some custom clips. I found this to be a near perfect solution. So far the device has been worth every penny, and I bought the most expensive one.
