Kantrowitz: Vision Pro failed and Apple's AI story has been bumpy
“They took a half-hearted swing at the metaverse with Vision Pro that didn't work out and their AI story has obviously been bumpy.”
Siegler: Apple went all-in on Vision Pro and timed the market completely wrong
“The device itself is just way too bulky, way too heavy. Everything about it is just inconvenient to use. And it's just the time, the market completely wrong. And obviously they couldn't have known AI was coming as in as hot as it did, but like, you know, they …”

“They're obviously about to release a new version with just an upgraded chip. It's apparently going to have a slightly better headband, which is nice because the current one is not any good, but beyond that, it will just be a chip upgrade.”
