    I’m not saying that Vision Pro is guaranteed to be a success. But we see the same cycle with every new apple product category: Apple release something minimal and polished, the tech community finds a thousand reasons why it will fail, and then it…doesn’t. Happened with watch, AirPods, notches in screens, etc.

    By the third or fourth iteration Apple’s going to demolish the AR industry like they have with every other product category they invest in.

        The only spaces I’d say Apple is truly dominant is smart watches and tablets. But even then Garmin makes a better sports watch and 2 in 1 laptops eat into the tablet market.

        Even that might be an overstatement. I’m in Europe, and while smart watches are becoming more and more ubiqutous, the thin models like sports watches and round android watches are far, far more popular than Apple’s models.

      Do you think apple is going to solve vergence accommodation conflict? I really just don’t see AR being useful until that problem is fixed, and apple seem to be ignoring it.
