Apple has done it again. They’ve released a device that looks like a ski goggle, costs more than most people’s bikes, and yet… sold out in minutes. Welcome to the era of Apple Vision Pro, a headset that’s part VR, part AR, and fully capable of emptying your bank account.
But here’s the trillion-dollar question:
Is this just another overpriced Apple toy, or the future of computing?
🧠 What Is Vision Pro, Really?
Imagine an iPad, AirPods, MacBook, and your therapist — all fused into a goggle that wraps around your face and your wallet. That’s Vision Pro.
- 4K micro-OLED displays per eye
- Eye-tracking, hand gesture navigation
- Spatial videos (relive your baby’s first steps in 3D)
- macOS mirroring — your Mac floats in the air like Tony Stark’s desktop
- Costs $3499+tax = approx ₹3 lakh in India (if/when it ever launches here)
📦 Who Is Buying This?
Here’s a list of people buying it:
- YouTubers for unboxing clout
- VC bros who want to look productive in 3D
- iPhone
- loyalists who buy Apple products like they’re paying EMIs for religion
- Developers creating apps so they can sell them back to #1
📉 But Is It Selling?
- Yes — initial stock sold out in the U.S.
- No — not mass adoption yet; more like luxury experimentation
- Analysts say Apple sold 200,000–250,000 units in the first quarter
That’s ₹7,500 crore in revenue for a product nobody asked for.
Just Tim Cook things.™
🧩 Is This the Next iPhone Moment?
Let’s be honest — the first iPhone wasn’t a huge hit either.
| Product | Year 1 Sales | Future Status |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone (2007) | 1.4 million | World domination |
| iPad (2010) | 7.5 million | Still relevant-ish |
| Apple Watch | 4 million | Health king |
| Vision Pro | ~250K est. | TBD (But flex-friendly) |
Bottom line: Apple doesn’t care about Year 1 sales.
