You want to know why visionOS has no devs/apps? A big reason that I’ve long argued is that Apple abused the goodwill it had wirh its developer community over capricious IAP/linking strategies. Apple assumed devs needed Apple more than Apple needed devs. And for the iPhone, maybe that’s true. But for new platforms, it isn’t. When you actively kick someone every time they come to hang out, don’t be surprised when they don’t come to your house anymore.
@film_girl Boy oh boy, don't go saying this on MacRumors! 😬
@buck lol. All 12 Apple Vision Pro defenders can cope. And I’m wearing an Hermes Apple Watch with the stainless steel band so them calling me poor doesn’t work either. I just chose not to buy a dev kit. And it’s a great dev kit. Just not one I could justify. And I can justify almost anything (see Hermes Apple Watch with $1000 stainless steel band)
@film_girl 😅 -- I think it might have dwindled down to 11 of them now 😁. Your Watch sounds pretty sweet!
@buck It is so so beautiful and so so unnecessary. I don’t even say anything about it to flex, just that someone on MR said I must be poor if I couldn’t justify $4500 (taxes, apple care, 512GB storage) on a dev kit. And I’m not rich enough where $4500 is like $450, but for me it wasn’t about price but whether I’d actually use it.
@film_girl I can't stand it when folks on MR default to some variation of "must hate X because they can't afford it" .. Should be moderated away if you ask me. It's a totally toxic "contribution" to the forum.
