it might seem silly, but this “flying toaster” sort of thing was exactly the type of first apps being developed for the iphone. we know what eventually happened. so time will tell.

The iPhone was already a smashing success before third-party apps (jailbroken ones included) were ever developed.

It took the Newton to get there, though. Vision Pro may be this generation's Newton, perhaps. Time will tell, indeed.

Source for this? It wasn't until a few generations in that the iPhone really took off. Yes there were die-hard supporter and people who loved it from day 1 but people always pretend the iPhone was destined to be what it is today at launch and that was not at all the impression I had living through it.

A what? What does source mean in this context?

Regardless, the Vision Pro needs to sell approximately an order of magnitude more units in the next couple of months to catch up with the iPhone 1.

So what you are saying is that I need to develop an app which is just a ruby and when you touch it, it displays the following text

I am rich

I deserv [sic] it

I am good,

healthy & successful

Hmm wonder what would be the good price for such an app? I guess $999.99 will have to do.
