So, there are only a few apps for the headset at the moment and they are all first party. Apple needs developers to make apps for the headset before they start selling it in mass.
If they do not have apps for it, then people will see a “dead” ecosystem and possibly view it as a failed product.
They priced it at a point where consumers won’t really get it, but devs will. At least larger devs will. Selling it, shows the devs that it’s ready for the market and encourages them to get in early so they can possibly catch the wave of new users.
Once there are a decent amount and variety of apps for the headset, they will sell a slightly trimmed down version for significantly less.
What do you think?
I’ve heard this exact scenario multiple times since the keynote. I went to an F1 race last year IN MY HOME COUNTRY and it cost me $6k for two of us for the whole weekend. To be honest, I’m glad we went but I wouldn’t do it again. We had an “experience” we won’t forget but sitting in a grandstand in the pissing rain only being able to see turn 1 & 2 isn’t great. Can you imagine how cool it would be to switch to the driver’s helmet cam while wearing a Vision Pro?!
