   @thomasfuchs With the amount they’ve invested in this, I think they’re going to keep plugging away at it for several years even if it’s flopping hard.

     @thomasfuchs However it will end up, it's definitely not going to be the amazing-yet-quickly-discarded charge lights at the side of your laptop showing the current battery status 😭

     @thomasfuchs For years, I've said that Apple's core expertise isn't technology, it's fashion accessories. So I wouldn't be surprised if Vision Pro becomes the new signifier of tech coolness. Whether or not it's any good.

     @thomasfuchs well, unlike the Touvhbar, I will bet money they actually update the hardware and software for the Vision.

     Doesn’t guarantee success. But completely abandoning the Touchbar helped guarantee failure

     @thomasfuchs Do you think VisionPro is really intended as a viable product, or is it essentially market R&D?

     @thomasfuchs I wonder if they would consider an Apple Watch level of impact a success or failure? Certainly the ambition here seems much larger.
