Apple sold an estimated 180K Vision Pro units during the first pre-order weekend

I&#x27;ll gladly leave this 180K people (how many of those are scalpers? see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ebay.com&#x2F;sch&#x2F;i.html?_from=R40&amp;_nkw=apple+vision+pro&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ebay.com&#x2F;sch&#x2F;i.html?_from=R40&amp;_nkw=apple+vision+...</a> ) review it and figure out any possible issue&#x2F;defect&#x2F;anomaly&#x2F;whatever for me.<p>I would love to own one, but for what I&#x27;ve seen and read looks like there&#x27;s a lot to work on: battery (a merely 2 hours, a movie can be easily longer than that), 3rd parties support, etc...

It&#x27;s a pretty exciting new product line but I think I will sit it out til Gen2. It&#x27;s clearly pushing the limits of ergonomics because of where the tech is (battery life &#x2F; goggles weight).<p>Using it for virtual displays with a physical keyboard&#x2F;trackpad for productivity use cases on a Mac looks pretty cool. But if its weight restricts how many hours per day I can use it.. I still need to own a bunch of monitors anyway.. so ..

This will sell easily. It&#x27;s by far the most advanced Vision Pro yet.

Really interested if this can become a laptop replacement while at home. Not sure I would carry it to the local coffee shop, but I’m thinking with a Bluetooth keyboard I might be able to replace my aging MacBook Pro while at home. Considering all the tech it has seems like a cheaper alt than buying another MacBook Pro

I have been hoping for more informed commentary concerning the scuttlebutt that Apple and Sony had a falling out over the a purported refusal to ramp up micro-OLED production, leading Apple to source future production in the PRC. Supposedly only around 900k OLED units were supplied by Sony (so, 450k AVP units), constraining potential sales for the near future. The general assumption in the press seems to be that sales are largely demand determined, but I suspect the cutting-edge technology used may still be in short supply, hence the high price validated for the relatively few units available.

Is that a lot or a little?

Over half-a-billion in sales for a $3500 dollar v1 product on day one.<p>Literally only Apple could probably pull that off.

Why does Apple think they&#x27;ll have success with a VR product when others have recently tried and failed? Especially when the new product is 10x the cost of the failed product. Price was a barrier to the adoption of the cheaper, existing device.

Am I missing something or are people just taking the word of an unknown Medium blogger with no sources as the official truth?

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
