Vision Pro Bites Dog

It’s almost as though — hear me out — Apple launched Vision Pro in 2023 for long-term strategic reasons, not with short-term sales in mind.

@daringfireball There’s also not a real direct competitor to compare to. I found some guesstimates that Quest 3 sold 1m over the same time, but that’s at such a different market segment, and likely with way less profit. This might be like iPhone vs Android where they don’t sell as much but account for all the actual revenue.
@krisbrowne42 @daringfireball way less profit? I think it’s literally negative profit for Meta.
@kaplag @daringfireball Indeed - they seem to be banking that someday they can slip in the anti-privacy provisions that they can track and profit from eye tracking.
@krisbrowne42 @daringfireball sure and maybe immersive advertising could be more effective than normal.
