Agreed. "There's no obvious market for X" could also mean "all versions of X have sucked so far".
I'm not a VR enthusiast—I don't own any headsets, and will probably not be buying this one—but this is a profoundly lazy article, and not one I'd take seriously as far as judging the merits of Vision.
I believe you ;) I'm just curious about who it is, and what they buy them for.
I can mostly get my head around the iPad. My guess is that it's people who don't want (to get out / have) a laptop. In fact, this is the device the average person should probably have instead of a laptop.
The Apple Watch though? I can't fathom where these sales are coming from. It's been years, so it's no longer novelty of a new Apple product.
I can answer to my own reasoning. I have MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch.
- MacBook is my workhorse for work. When it retire this device will be the first to go.
- IPad Pro used for all manner of media and content consumption, mainly personal use and because it’s cellular enabled and portable enough it tends to go with me when I need to do work in a “device light” manner. This device of all would be my favorite piece of tech I have used in a near 40 year career in tech.
- IPhone is my phone, main audio player, occasionally used for browsing content consumption in a pinch.
- Apple Watch is probably the one I could live without the easiest, but it’s handy for health tracking, paying, and this may sound ridiculous…but the biggest value I get from it is walking up to my MacBook and not having to log in or type in a password.
