Respite

I’ve yet to buy any perfect products, from Apple or anyone else. Good to know one is coming.

I’m inclined to be suspicious when blog posts claim that there absolutely, definitively is no problem at all with something that by its nature is very complex.

There may be no causal evidence for any such issues, there may be good evidence to the contrary, but to be so certain invites ridicule.

I’m excited Apple has put the effort in, but I do wish they didn’t launch until they got the tech distilled into something much more livable. 

Why?  You don't have to buy one.  This one sets the stage for things to come.  It is easier to iterate when you have a world of customer feedback on what's important.

You answered your own question. 

People don't buy products so the next one is worth it. they by something because that thing itself is worth it. At this stage, the VP simply isn't. 

Also, regarding your words in italics, Apple has never been in the business of selling Beta products until now. Hope this is the last. 

Beta product is just a silly label; Apple are selling it, it's not a beta product, and it's clearly the first in a longer strategy.  Apple have always iterated on their best products, making them better with successive releases.  It sets the stage because it provides the platform for Apple and developers to start delivering experiences for a new UI paradigm of computing.  Your "livable" target is a long way off, many millions or billions of dollars of development off, it would be insanity for Apple to take that kind of punt on what is currently a dream, not even approaching achievable using any known technology.  Apple didn't wait for 3G before launching the iPhone, or copy and paste, or an SDK, or a point and shoot quality camera.  They shipped.

Now stop whining about it please, just don't buy it if you don't want it.

If it’s not ready yet - by your own words - it only “sets the stage” for some other thing - then it shouldn’t be sold. It’s a beta. 

That doesn't follow at all.  It's ready, and it has started a journey with a new UI paradigm.  The iPhone was ready was it was launched in 2007, but that doesn't mean it was complete.  It will never be complete, there will always be more to add.  You've got to ship sometime, and you do that when you're ready, not when you've achieved perfection.  Apple are clearly ready.

The last time Apple launched something like this, it was only software, but Cook sent out a public apology - and forstall was fired. 

Something has changed at apple and not for the better in this regard. 

Now quit whining about people pointing out its flaws please. If you want one just buy it. 

This is the real world. People talk pros and cons - and *gasp!* even reach conclusions. 

We all know your conclusions now, but you're not adding anything more to the conversation, you're just whining.  And you're whining without purpose, Apple are not in any conceivable universe going to withdraw the Vision Pro and focus on making the sunglasses you want.  You can never win the argument that you're making, you're just committed to being noisy and annoying.

Give it a rest, we're bored.
