Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.

Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.

@parismarx It's too expensive.

@parismarx I find it hard to believe that 400k people have enough money to buy it AND don't get immediately motion sick when they put it on. I'm hopeful that VR will just die so that we can get back to technology that's actually useful.

My guess is that the $3,500 asking price for a developer preview disguised as a finished headset was too high for most of the imagined target market.

@parismarx feels good when my gut feeling about a product matches up with reality. Still… 400k units is a bunch!
