That’s way different. There was nothing like it on the market. The quest 3 is a great product that is way ahead of the game. Apple just spent more money. Meta knows the general public is never going to pay thousands for a VR headset. We can directly compare the Vision Pro to competitors and in a lot of ways it’s not even better that the quest 3. For $3500 it should be blowing the quest 3 out of the water
It’s not the same product type. It’s not in competition with the iPhone in anyway. Not an iPhone replacement. People who wanted phones/mp3 players and a mini internet device went for the iPhone. Similarly, VP is a combination of TV, Mac, iPad, iPhone in a VR headset.
VP is for people in the market for a VR headset and if Apple can get Mac users onboard it’s a win. Most of the people yammering on here are not the market for VR headset- not even the cheapest one.
The problem is that the VR market is already very niche and this is even more so . I know a decent amount of people who play video games and maybe 1 has a vr headset that he used a few times.
This is cornering an even smaller portion of that market with people who are willing to pay $3,500 for a rather under baked product and want to surf the web with a headset instead of their phone.
It just doesn’t make sense in your iPhone comparison.

I’m sure Apple Vision Pro is incredible and will be an industry leading product.
Still not paying $3,500 for it tho.
