"The first iphone was initially only available in the US, and was relatively expensive compared to the competition" - totally, its a useful point, but Apple today and Apple then tentatively entering that mobile phone market... they're entirely different companies with drastically different resources at their disposal to bring to bear.
"The vision pro, despite being technically impressive, isn't a compelling product." - yeah but I'd at least like to know whether it's a compelling product or not, which is currently impossible for me to do. There are a good ten million people in the world for whom dropping $3500 on one to play with is not going to be a big deal. That's $35billion to kickstart this non-compelling product that they don't even need the revenue to fund.
"I don't think the logistic issues will have much to do with it's overall success." – yeah, correct, but I made that point because Tim Cook's whole MO is that he's the guy who can bring all the logistics issues together, and the entire success of this product right now is dependent on logistics issues that have not been solved.
