They do make it very hard to speak about anything else

That's 90% of a year's revenue they could be missing out if they fixed it now, yeah

JustARaccoon , 16 days ago to Technology in Apple is halting its next high-end Vision in favor of something cheaper

Don't see why that'd be the case, they might focus on it being a lighter model or something that also happens to have lower specs

JustARaccoon , 16 days ago to Technology in Apple is halting its next high-end Vision in favor of something cheaper

I'd argue you can go much cheaper. Also their real competitor in terms of standalone hmds is Meta, not beyond. Beyond is a niche pc only product, not a standalone experience with social potential.
