No matter if you feel the price tag is too high, or feel it’s a gimmick that won’t appeal to many, the Vision Pro will usher in a new era of apps and products.

To me, this is similar to when the iPhone was getting ready to be released. Many said it was expensive, had no keyboard, was too big and wide to be comfortably held, and would never sell. That all started to change once people got their hands on the device.

I feel that the Vision Pro will have the same effect, but this is one device you’ll truly need to test out and experience. Based on those that have been fortunate enough to actually use it, it’s not a gimmick.

    I’m not forgetting anything, don’t assume things on my behalf.

      Your previous statement would suggest otherwise. It was something that was said verbatim about the iPhone.

        The iPhone cost 499$ in 2007. The Motorola RAZR cost 600$ in 2004.

        The device wasn’t expensive, the plans were.

          The iPhone was $499 with a subsidy from AT&T. The RAZR had no such subsidy and could be bought without a contract or even from eBay. Even the most expensive “smartphones” on the market didn’t need a subsidized price. The device absolutely was expensive. You’re trying to revise history.

            You are wrong. Look it up, I already have.

            I’m not going to waste any more time arguing with you.

              I literally lived through it…lol. And I bought it. It was exclusive to Cingular and then AT&T (they bought Cingular). I don’t need to look it up.

                If it was exclusive to them why did us peeps up in Canada have them too then? We don’t have Cingular or AT&T.

                Take your foot out of your mouth. This is a learning experience. Do your homework before you run your mouth.

                I paid 499$ (USD) for mine.

                    In the USA maybe.

                    I’m not arguing with you about something I had in my hand when you said I didn’t, that’s just ridiculous.

                    Walk on.
