This is The Correct Answer[tm]. Me, three months ago: Jobs referred to early Apple TV as a "hobby". For years. Time enough for a nascent market to mature, for the technology to catch up with the ambitions. That's how Apple/Cook should refer to Apple VR/AR. Under promise, over deliver. Projecting 1m unit sales the first year is nutty. Sure, they might sell that many. And then what? Also, the initial models should be over priced, specifically targeting sexy use cases. Ridiculously expensive, maximally awesome, hype building applications. Like telemedicine, protein folding, and walking tours of fictional settlements on Mars. Let people imagine and build boutique applications for a couple years, normalize the emerging market, before introducing a consumer mass market model. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35316716 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35316716 -- People fluffed up by "hobby" misunderstand. It's about managing expectations, especially of critics and Wall St. Of course Apple is serious about AR/VR. -- Citing "Moore's Law" wasn't the best word choice. Methinks it's short-hand for "Wright's Law". In this instance, it's about the displays, not the CPUs. Pixels vs transistors. Vision Pro's displays are amazing. And expensive. And supply constrained. Apple separately announced they'll be making their own. And they'll eventually be cheap(er) and plentiful(ler).
