I can't believe MacRumors has stooped so low.

Headline: Apple May Stop Producing Vision Pro by the End of 2024

First paragraph: Apple has abruptly reduced production of the Vision Pro headset and could stop making the current version of the device completely by the end of 2024

Later on, it also says that Apple was stopped work on the second-generation Vision Pro and is focusing only on a lower-cost device. So that’s actually pretty reasonable.

I personally don't think it's reasonable for a publication to suggest Apple is outright discontinuing a product in the headline, only to reveal that, no, they're actually just making a strategy shift with the product line.

That's newsworthy all by itself. No clickbait needed.

You seem to not realize that the Vision Pro is in fact ending, and work on a new visionOS device that is not a Pro device is what's taking place.

As an AVP owner the thing is an absolute flop and it's not misleading to say that for the foreseeable future the line has been discontinued.

I'm also an Apple Vision Pro owner. I don't see it as a flop and here's why:

The first Macintosh was, inflation adjusted, double the price of the Apple Vision Pro, and they shipped about the same number of units in their first years respectively.

People only see it as a flop because Apple is a gargantuan company now compared to then and they expect to see gargantuan sales of new products from Apple now. Apple is playing a different game this time around.

What game are they playing? The Macintosh has almost ruined Apple in it's first iterations.

They're definitely slipping more and more into optimizing excessively for engagement at this point.

MacRumors isnt the site it once was. The amount of clickbait crap on there has gone up significantly. Very much on its way out. Dont bother trying to discuss that on their feedback forums though, its an instant permaban for even suggesting the quality of content might be slipping.
