Apple Vision will fail. It doesn't matter if it's a good product or not. Fact is, wearing it makes you look like a dork. This is why it will fail. Segway made you look like a dork too and it failed. Then the hoverboard got out and you looked cool while using it and it is successful. There is a future for Apple Vision's tech, but this is not the product that will sell. People will buy a product that makes them look cool. As simple as that.

Nothing looks dumber than wearing airPod earbuds, but almost everyone seems to have them

What other choice do they have? they literally removed the headphone jack to force people to buy them

[wellthisisgreat]

Wires suck though, and that’s coming from a person with a few MacBook Pro MSRPs worth headphone collection.

AirPods Pro are an amazing product and it’s not dorky at all, never was.

The original AirPods with long stick were kinda dorky and not that great (no isolation)

[seydor]

that s still no reason to remove the jack

If you spend enough money marketing something, it becomes cool.

It's an Apple product, and one that everyone knows is super expensive. It'll end up like the Airpods max, weird looking, but still a status symbol.

[seydor]

Yes. I can see people in coffee shops wearing the apple ski goggles , but not Quest. In particular because it's very expensive and signals wealth. Like how many people buy a Tesla, even though VR goggles are less useful overall

They said the same things about the original airpod and it used to not be cool to be into video games and comic books.

Times change. If it fails it won't be because of this reason - people won't be walking around outside with these on.

That's not an issue for commercial/industrial use cases.

Segway Ninebot sells fairly well.
