They have an audience that will pay $1500 for a bloody phone.

You will notice through the magic of math, that 3500 is over twice as much as 1500 for a device you cannot carry with you everywhere everyday. The competition space for the Vision Pro is not iPhones, but more like the iMac Pro.

Yeah, and everyone that has had hands-on time with it has had about the same story. It's pretty cool, it's pretty, it's the best thing we've seen yet, it's really expensive, it's still uncomfortable, it's use cases are still drastically numbered, the software market for it is still very lacking.

Oh yeah, and ecosystem lock in.

Yes but that's $1500 they can show off.

Are there a few weirdos using their Apple Vision outside? Yes, but they aren't the norm.
