So, there are only a few apps for the headset at the moment and they are all first party. Apple needs developers to make apps for the headset before they start selling it in mass.
If they do not have apps for it, then people will see a “dead” ecosystem and possibly view it as a failed product.
They priced it at a point where consumers won’t really get it, but devs will. At least larger devs will. Selling it, shows the devs that it’s ready for the market and encourages them to get in early so they can possibly catch the wave of new users.
Once there are a decent amount and variety of apps for the headset, they will sell a slightly trimmed down version for significantly less.
What do you think?
I have some coding experience, and a formal education in software development. There’s little chance of me actually making something, but I want to buy it anyways.
Oh so do I. But not for $3500.
The optimist in me says I can play with it and find a cool use cas, and be one of the first to develop something for it, and make lots of money… or at least cover the device cost.
I would sooner use Meta’s solution for a virtual office, for a fraction of the price, but I won’t buy a Meta headset haha. I’ll definitely consider the later versions of Vision Pro assuming the price falls to closer-to-Index pricing.
