Ordering Apple Vision Pro gets more complex with face scan
applebynature said:Yup, we've known about the required facial scanning for proper fit since June.
I'm curious how big of a fiasco it's going to be to go into an Apple Store to demo a unit. They should do it by appointment with a required face scan before the appointment so everything is ready for you to try out. If they're just allowing everyone to come in to wait around in the store for one of the scarce demo units to be available, then having to go through a fitting and set up process along with being trained how to use it, man that will be a disaster with the time involved and so many waiting around to try it. But on the other hand, I can see people going to the store to try it out and being told, oh you have to make an appointment, the next one is in 3 weeks, and that not going over too well with customers either, so who knows.
And remember, most consumers wear prescription lenses so another $150 for special lenses will a big deal breaker, especially when prescriptions typically change year after year for people that do wear glasses. -
What comes in the $3499 Apple Vision Pro box

If so, how old can it be? -
Apple Vision Pro has 16GB of memory, potentially 1TB of storage
If Apple offers a 1TB option, they charge 4x the industry standard for 1TB of storage, so now you are looking at $4,000 to run iPadOS apps.
Apple really needs to stop with their extortion tactics for memory and SSD prices. It was better when you could upgrade memory and storage on your own, because no one bought the Apple upgrades. Similar to the printer market in which the ink cartridges sometimes cost more than the actual printer. Now Apple has the consumer over the barrel and they know it and charge ridiculous prices. -

it is best to begin from the top… and then easily go down… than begin from the bottom and then try build upon a clunky design. See Quest. (Tesla copied this business model!)
And the Apple Watch 1st Edition was $10,000 for the 14K gold model. It was not reduced 90%. Nubus has no clue what they are talking about. -

And also remember: the original iPhone cost $699- —exorbitant!— and now cost… $1,200-
