   “Some consumers said Sunday that their Apple Vision Pro orders could take as long as six weeks to ship”

   Naysayers are still saying nay as that is what they do.

   “The real test will be to see how quickly the Vision Pro reaches 1 million orders. The Apple Watch hit that number in its first day, while the iPad took 28 days. The iPhone took 74 days to reach it.”

   Suggest looking at revenue rate.

     @thomasfuchs @asymco But a very successful beta for developers that reportedly sold 180,000 units.

     Apple magic is real. Folks get FOMO and are afraid they’ll miss out on the ultimate personal tech status symbol.

     I cannot personally see owning one but I may develop for it. It’s too big and bulky, with poor battery life, and is way too expensive.

     The only thing I can see using Vision Pro for is movies. But to enjoy them with my wife would set us back $7k.

     @thomasfuchs @fahrni This is true of all technology products. And yet one has to ask why there are early adopters because there always are.

     This is rhetorical, of course.
