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?
It definitely seems like they want to build out the app ecosystem with the Vision Pro, and then probably release a more mainstream, less frills headset down the line.
It looks so nice, but it really has their “pro” look to it.
I think this concept is cool and I were not in so many video conferences, I’d pick it up at a much lower price.
