Apple Vision Pro U.S. Sales Are All But Dead, Market Analysts Say (gizmodo.com)

Those still holding on to their Apple Vision Pros may remain in a rather exclusive club throughout this year. Market research shows that sales for Apple’s first big, expensive headset will remain low in 2024. The latest reports from those keeping tabs on the Cupertino, California company say AVP will have dropped off 75% by the end of August. The true test for Apple’s spatial dreams may rest on the rumored (slightly) cheaper headset.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a $4,000 faceputer wasn’t designed to sell. It was designed to have patents on the tech so when militaries buy zillions of some future product, Apple gets a slice.

You can file patents for things without producing them. Apple does it all the time.

Apple isn't really a military contract/industrial complex type, they're more the retarded, pretentious rich people and retarded poor-ish people who think they're rich because they saved 15% or more on Geico type.
