     Chuckling to myself, thinking of how one day people will look at the Apple Vision Pro this way.

     I mean “oh, hey, here’s a flop that never really found its purpose but now, with its old-school vibes and its sense of the road not taken, it’s fun for tinkering!” I absolutely expect the Vision Pro to end up there.

     You gotta understand how #Apple work.

     Lisa was a precursor to OSX/MacOS
     Newton was a precursor to iPads
     Apple Vision is a precursor to ...

     They release and hype a product to iron out all the bugs, marketing and tech...
     With capitalisation greater than the entire state of #Australia, they can afford to.

     @n_dimension @mcc @mhoye
     Yes, that’s pretty much exactly what I said when the Vision Pro was released! Right down to the Newton comparison (except I view it as an iPhone precursor, not iPad, but nary a diff).

     But also:

     Newton: released 1993, discontinued 1998(?)
     iPhone: released 2007

     …so on that timeline, whatever the Apple Vision Pro was the precursor to is due circa 2037.
