This misrepresents and belittles the amount of effort required to create something. Generally speaking, people don't buy tech, they buy products — Ideally great products.
While the iPhone 1.0 was incredibly primitive by today's standards, and wasn't the absolute cutting edge tech/compute-wise, it was indeed very polished and fantastic at what it set out to do: Combine an iPod + Internet Communicator + Phone. It had real mass-market use cases it set to solve during development, and solved those right out the gate, despite the many improvements that would follow.
Vision 1.0 doesn't seem to have many particular use cases in mind, and the ones it has seem incredibly niche. There's a lot of really cool tech that's meandering for a reason to exist. This alone makes it unlike any Apple product they have released in recent memory.
- asdff 3y agoThe iPhone 1.0 was a $499 product though and it was also a very useful smartphone when it launched, which was already basically an established market by Blackberry and others.
