  • Apple Vision Pro early review: a peek into the future of computing

    GolferTechGuruGolferTechGuru
    I see posts to buy Apple Stock?? At $3,500 (note: plus a lot of tax, so like $4K) a headset, people had BETTER buy stock.

    The problem with Apple is they just don't understand pricing - never have. They're so heck-bent on immediate profits, that they miss the big picture. They could have launched at $1,500 and immediately captured more market share, with significant stock jumps like Meta. The problem will always be the same with their bigger ticket items. Someone should tell them they can make money later on, soon after they get the headset on as many heads as humanly possible.

    And now - here we go!!!  You've got boneheads and other countries selling these things from $5K all the way up to $10K - which is a complete joke and actually an invitation for lawsuits and other legal issues. And it already started with Scammers scamming people... Get This! = I just stumbled on a blog about 3 imitation headsets built in China that do nothing more than cast iPhone screens onto the 2 screens inside the "headset". Your basic wireless Bluetooth/Airplay connections and Whammo! Scammed! Ouch. (The funny part is I hear Apple expected it - I mean Duh!) This is just the beginning.... Man oh Man!!!

    And History will prove this: Sorry Folks, this is going to be the first iPhone. When it's actually "ready" and perhaps worth a few grand, it will be the vision Pro 20. We will look back at these massive goggles and it will be funny - future kids will giggle at the size and simplicity. So now, the majority of Americans sit and wait - as they should!! 

    We have also discovered Apple is offering payment programs, like an Affirm, but then you have credit checks, and while Apple profits, more and more Americans will add significantly much more to their already overwhelming credit debt.

    Sure, who doesn't want floating screens, dinosaurs coming at you in 3D and keyboards for email and texting!? For now though, our phones work every time, all the time and we can currently Cast/Airplay to a large screen to watch Jason Bourne. Bet that Apple will likely add block/limits to controls for casting soon, and force the "need". But that's precisely the kind of marketing and control that keeps limiting them - they drive me nuts!! LMAO.

    Want a very good Macbook? You need to be well off. Want the first Vision Pro, you need to be well off. Want the best phone? Pay up.

    It's Apple for some, not for others. THAT'S Apple, and it's ridiculous.

    I would have dropped this first launch at the $1,500 price point, get these things everywhere and watch my stock skyrocket. Instead, all they've done is drop a massive wall between the rich and poor, desperate and ignorant, and started us all down the road of TicketMaster-Resale battles, scams and madness. Go check out the stock price this morning? ... So in the tune of Nickelodeon? Dip, dip, dip, dip, da-dip, dip, dip.... Dip-I-told you-so!!!!
