Serious question; what's with Apple Insider's negative headlines about Vision Pro? Apple sold half its sales target for 2024 in the first few hours of pre-orders and your headline takeaway the other day was that they were "struggling" to market it. Now you headline the 150 native apps available as "few and far between." As you acknowledge several paragraphs down, VP hardware for developers has been in limited supply, and even for those who've received it, how much time have they actually had to develop for a new computing platform that's unlike anything we've seen before? Do you actually think it's news to first year buyers of Vision Pro that current availability of native apps isn't robust? I'm thinking that anyone spending $3500 to buy v1.0 of Vision Pro now knows exactly what they're buying into. 

Serious answer: This is information of value to the public. We have a lot of different opinions here on staff when it comes to AVP, and we let the editors say the things they think are worth saying. Obviously we ensure what we write is factually correct, but as a rule we try not to edit perspective or voice. Saying "look how many they sold!" and then in the same breath saying "obviously everybody knows what they're getting" rings hollow to me. You think 180K developers bought the headset? Apple certainly doesn't agree, because that's not how they've selling it. So, the answer is yes. Absolutely. I suspect lots of people bought this thing on an questionable promise.

Our job is not to cover Apple only in a positive light. There's a lot of exciting stuff about the Vision Pro, and those articles exist on this website as well.
