Whether the 'product' is discontinued depends on what the next product is. If they drop the AR using VR (its distinguishing feature), then the Vision Pro as we know it is dead and lives on only in name--effectively becoming an Apple Quest. I would love competition in that space.

> If they drop the AR using VR

Apple has been pushing for AR for years and years. I remember seeing demos when presentations were still live in person.

The whole concept of Vision Pro is “spatial computing”. Backtracking to VR would be a huge shift in focus.

The entire focus of the Vision Pro is mixed reality i.e. both.

Hence why they have the crown to seamless switch between AR and VR.

VR should include computing and everything. Reality can be anything. VR can even include Reality. I'd agree with you if Apple wasn't backtracking what the idea of Computing is to be a modern monopoly app store.
My point was that the Vision Pro implements AR using VR technology (plus some low-latency additions).
