Consumers are way more wary of shovelware and getting stuck on the hook with an abandoned product these days.
It's a cool device, but does Apple have the balls to stick with it, and built it into the platform they believe it can be?

- zitterbewegung 2y agoApple is making a 3D movie for the device and coming out with more immersive experiences . Also, they are upgrading the OS with more features . Which Apple device has Apple abandoned recently?
- honkycat 2y agoWhen was the last time Apple released a totally new product vertical in the same vein as vision pro? 10 years ago? 15?
- zitterbewegung 2y agoThat would be the Apple Watch most likely.
- reaperducer 2y agoMy magic 8-ball says: Doubtful Considering how long Apple supports its other products, I'd take a chance on Vision Pro before a Google product. My nine-year-old iPhone 6S got a software update a couple of weeks ago. Still, before I'd drop that kind of money on a device, I'd like to see an Apple Graveyard website, like the Google Graveyard site, to reassure myself.
- knodi123 2y agoI'm less worried about them supporting it with drivers/security, and more with them supporting it with new software. It will take compelling experiences for adoption to take off, and if they don't keep adding experiences....

- nickthegreek 2y agoGoogle does have a vr product. It’s just insanely dated but was pretty cool back then. https://arvr.google.com/cardboard/ https://arvr.google.com/cardboard/
