Who gives a fuck what Spotify says? Why do people give them wait? Their response would have been 100% the same no matter what. 

This asshole doesn't believe Apple has the right to design their own products. He wants to dictate the terms that are best for Spotify. These assholes want side loading and 3rd party app stores to be a tap away for consumers, they couldn't care less about the security of billions of devices, which Apple is responsible for.

It’s a product that wasn’t ready to leave the lab. Needed a couple years to distill into a pair of sunglasses. Only then should it have launched. 

Sad to see Apple rush this. What could have been revolutionary is just a better headset. This hurts future iterations more than helps. 

But even when Apple is ready with the one form factor they should have approved, it will still be more of an Apple Watch type companion device. Marketed like that, it will do great. But trying to push it as a takeover is just not something people want. 

What an insane fucking comment that spits in the face of the most fundamental facts, and technology. 

Apple didn't "rush" this. It's been in dev for at least 7 years, and people have been whining for YEARS about Apple not having a VR/AR device. There is absolutely nothing rushed about this. It's clear that it went through an insane amount of development. From the design, to the tech, to the OS, to the tracking. 

 And in what universe could this become a "pair of sunglasses" in a "couple years"? What? That's a psychotic comment. We won't have anything approaching that in 2, 5, nor probably 10 years. And how exactly would sunglasses accomplish what this device does? You need a light seal, as well as a fuckload of cameras and sensors to accomplish the experience they're looking for. I'm not sure what planet you live on where this is a "rushed" product that could have been sunglasses, had they taken another couple yrs. 

What a shitty CEO. 

Yes, currently the Vision Pro user base is 0. 

But we all know that will change very soon. Will it be doing iPhone/iPad numbers? No, of course not. 

But getting in from the start and a great app experience for a lucrative piece of tech does nothing but good things for your brand. The Vision Pro is gonna have very high engagement from its users, and they could be watching Netflix, instead of Disney/Apple TV.

And I would say the cost of developing an app, for Netflix, would be pretty fucking negligible, considering the kind of app it is. 

Example of a company with zero vision. 

Love how people commenting here pretending to know the whole fucking situation based on the very limited and curated information presented by DHH, who has gotten famous by nastily smearing Apple 24/7 in order to raise his own profile. And this article is pretty pathetic in how it just parrots his complaints. There's always more to the story, and DHH's narrative is almost always dishonest and misleading. Remember his public, expletive laden, nasty tirade when his wife didnt get approved for an Apple Card or something? Had nothing to do with Apple but he took it as an opportunity to accuse from of everything from sexism to fascism. 

People are still gullible enough to buy this "I'm fighting for the little guy, against big baddie Apple, even if I lose everything, I'm doing it for virtue and justice!" horse-shit?

Yep, apparently people are, even on this very forum. Stunning how some of you are so easily propagandized.
