Apple Vision Pro Has Shipments Cut. Was Clearly Unavoidable.

Let's go to my five minutes a la Dvorak...

Apple has announced that is revising its market strategy for its last product the Apple Vision Pro, this was because of the low demand that was required in the market, they were expecting something around 700-800k but the demand was half of this, nearly 400-450k, which is not a surprise.

What price of U$3499 is too expensive too the majority of the market and doesn't appear to have the same benefits that Hololens 2 has, since the price tag is the same, other than that VR is something that has been around for a long time time and never appear to completely take off in the market to the general consumer.

I had my first experience with VR glasses in the middle of the 1990s, and the technology was around a lot before that, Google and Microsoft did a good job with the VR googles, mainly I think that Hololens have real use in cases such as manufacturing, military and medicine, what I think that Vision Pro is lacking.

Well, I was not the unique that had seen that maybe the tech was not to take off with Apple, at last, was a cleary unavoidable failure.
