I paid a lot of money for the privilege of getting an Apple Vision Pro brand-new in February. All-in, with optical inserts and taxes, I financed a little over $3,900 for the 256GB version of the headset.
Financing something like this. Holy fuck this person is an absolute moron.
That’s not a smart choice to finance. First release is almost always overpriced and going to rapidly devalue. There’s a ton of R&D overhead to cover with initial launch of a new product line. The next iteration will be less expensive, or at least have multiple models with tiered pricing.
Why? I financed an AVP too and use it extensively for my business. Maybe they’re doing the same? Especially with the Apple Card, it’s 0% interest. Why wouldn’t you do that instead of paying for the whole thing outright? Anyone who paid for the whole thing outright seems like a moron to me.
Genuinely curious what business case exists for the vision pro that couldn’t be handled by a modern iPhone (for AR) or laptop (for getting real work done)
any type of work which requires multiple Monitors.
Unless you’re doing graphical work where you need absolute high-end monitors (that cost multiple times the AVP), the Display of the AVP is probably good enough.
And Virtual Desktop Software is slowly getting better.

Eh, Apple offers essentially zero cost financing.
If you actually have the cash and budget for this, it’s better to invest that $4k.

Remember this next time you are cringing at something dumb you did in the past. You will never be as stupid as Wes Davis.
Excuse my ignorance but who is wes Davis and why is he so stupid?
He wrote the article
Wow I feel a little stupid, thanks friend.
Lol no I get it from the way I said that it probably sounded like somebody famous
First release aside the vast majority of electronics depreciate steeply . Financing it in a time of high interest rates is… ridiculous.

Tech review companies.
quite honestly:

How do you use it at work? Do you think it has paid for itself? Does it enable anything that was impossible before?
You get to write off your masterbation aid as a business expense. Is that not what everyone does?
It’d be even better if they let you work from home.
