You're conflating being unique vs solving a problem.

You don't have to be unique in what you solve.

There's lots of blue cars sold every year, why does Ford/GM/Toyota exist if they all do the same thing - which is sell blue cars? Then Tesla 10-years ago starting selling their version of the blue car and are doing exceedingly well.

It's because the fundamental problem being sold is actually, people wanting transportation.

What fundamental problem/need is the Apple Vision Pro solving?

Again, I'm not being a hater of the device. I'm genuinely curious to understand.

“What fundamental problem/need is the Apple Vision Pro solving?”

Screens are too small especially portable ones.

That's interesting, maybe that's it.

Hypothesis:

People want/need larger displays, and larger display would allow for full immersion experiences on whatever task it is they are doing.

And since 99% of people have never participated in full immersion digital experiences, they don't know they want/need it - until they try it.

That's possibility it.

I don't think I was.

I do agree that one doesn't have to be unique. My comment was more about the grandparent point about Vision Pro being the only product in the last 20 years to not solve a problem. My point was that if Vision Pro addresses no problem, neither does the Watch or HomePod. If Watch or HomePod do address problems, I don't see how the Vision Pro doesn't.
