Of course it is, Apple don’t want hordes of people buying this yet because they haven’t worked out what it is yet. This is the most beta product Apple have ever launched. They’ve developed a very impressive piece of technology and, for once, rather than launching a fully polished product where they tell us what it’s for, they’ve put it out to “see what we do with it”.
The concern here isn’t that Vision Pro is a dud, the concern is that they loose interest in it before we all work out what it’s good for.

- simonbarker87 2y agoHad to google “cope”. Let’s try to keep HN a bit more civil. Not really, this is the sentiment amongst most of the less click bait driven tech media. Great tech, does it have a place? Maybe but Apple might not be patient enough to find its place in the world. Given their ability to loose interest quickly it doesn’t seem like that unreasonable a take - unless you want it to fail.

Coping mechanism: an adaptation to environmental stress that is based on conscious or unconscious choice and that enhances control over behavior or gives psychological comfort. This is a completely civil concept. In this case the environmental stress is the fact that the Vision Pro is failing. The coping mechanism (or in short: "cope") is proclaiming that this is fine, because Apple is actually just beta-testing the Vision Pro, and it was never supposed to gain wider adoption, so all is according to the plan.
