Christina Warren and Marco Arment are spot-on about the current situation of the Apple Vision Pro.

Marco Arment on Mastodon:

The challenge Apple faces with AVP is getting enough people to buy (and keep using) a device type that they weren’t already buying (headsets), which is VERY expensive and limited, to accumulate enough customers for the content and software ecosystem to develop.

Christina Warren puts an even finer point on it:

Spot on. And I’ll add: It’s also a dev kit positioned as a consumer product, priced as an enterprise/industrial tool but without any of the features that enterprise/industry can use. The whole thing remains a mess and no amount of “whataboutism” or iPhone comparisons, as if we aren’t living in a different time, will change the fact that this thing is DOA in its current form and positioning.

To me, at this point, it is a nice piece of “tech porn”. A remarkable device that shows a certain direction - but nothing more.
