> If you have both, you have literally a generationally-defining product (e.g. the iPhone), but even if you just have the software, you'll still eat your competitor's lunch.
The Vision Pro is really a first-product distraction for the Apple fans. This only further validates the market for XR devices and Meta's Quest's lineup will be the cheaper alternative for those who don't have iPhones or Macs (Since Android phones still outnumber iPhones) [0].
I'm only interested in the next iteration when it gets smaller and cheaper and when Apple announces a direct competitor to the cheaper Quest. Probably 'Apple Vision'. Then it will get its 'iPhone' moment, but it is not going to be the Vision Pro.
> Meta's about to get a rude awakening because "we can fix the software later." As
if technical debt doesn't exist and as if you can so easily get engineers that eagerly want to clean up someone else's mess.
Meta is fine. They will just copy Apple and make it cheaper and at worse case, become the Android of XR headsets and glasses.
