How many did they have?
Poll: *** The official Apple Vision Pro thread (it has an M2, an R1, loads of cameras, a whopping price tag and everything!) ***
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
Estimated to be 80k units, it's very low, but this is just an estimate from industry analysts, Apple won't reveal the number

I'd never buy this at the price but I imagine 3D HDR 4K films will look immense.
I find it funny that Apple are launching this without native YouTube and Netflix apps
Apparently they said no thanks so Disney is pretty much the only content with a native vision app at launch
But others are coming, ESPN, PGA Tour and NBA League will support Vision, as will Paramount Plus and Peacok, Discovery and Amazon prime

Which is the surprising part to me ... I would have thought Apple would have done a deal with Google and Netflix to pay for day 1 native support

Although I have no immediate plans to even consider one of these, I thought my eyesight might be an issue. My prescription is -7 in each eye and they both have large astigmatism and I wear varifocals with a 2.0 addition for closeup.

Inserts are available. I was surprised.

Well that's the problem. A few of the apps that would normally work are actually being blocked deliberately like YouTube and maybe Spotify so a web browser is the only option:

Apple devotees would never soil their device with such options when Apple TV+ exists.

Not to derail this thread, but do glasses help with Astigmatism? I have a bad case of it, and I have never been recommended glasses, do I need to switch out my optometrist?
I think so. If an optician isn’t including your astigmatism as part of the prescription and correcting it via the lenses in your glasses then it sounds like a major failure on their part.
Of course, remember that I’m not an optician and can’t offer medical advice.

A lot of time and money to develop for 80k users total.

Right now, I see this as just a very expensive way to not hold an iPad. That said, this wouldn't be the first time Apple have launched a product without a very clear use case or consumer demand.

Dunno the movie experience should be incredible?
I'm sure Apple can afford to pay for that development

Personally I don’t see it being a better experience than a decent TV. I’ve tried watching things on the Quest 2, and of course it has far lower quality displays, but my objection was more against the fundamental experience - watching a film with something uncomfortable strapped to my face.
I’m sure some people will absolutely love it but I can’t see it taking off for the mainstream, particularly families. Famous last words I’m sure. Never bet against Apple.
