Have not heard a single thing about Apple Vision Pro in weeks despite being terminally online.
It’s like the Apple III of the 2020s.

If you don’t know of the Apple III, read the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_III
tl;dr They made a “Pro” version of the Apple II (hugely successful with consumers and education) and it flopped spectacularly.
Some tech was salvaged for later versions of the Apple II (which survived the Apple III by almost a decade).
@thomasfuchs it’s a bit more like the Lisa, isn’t it? Full new platform and all that
@lkanies Vision Pro is just iPad OS with dinosaurs
@swelljoe a conundrum
@thomasfuchs I wonder why it failed? It's a mystery, I guess we'll never know.
@thomasfuchs yeah. And what Apple really needed now was another almost-distinct os for them to ignore
@thomasfuchs
I tend to think it’s more like the Lisa: getting people with money to burn to do product research, and in a few years, once they have even half a clue what it’s actually •for•, then they’ll build something that will either be the next Apple /// or the next Macintosh or the next Apple TV.
