I disagree. I know I am in the minority, but I use Vision Pro for about 1-2 hours a day, paired with my Mac, without the light seals. The future of Vision OS isn't in fully immersive content but in augmented content with the Mac. Editing in Davinci Resolve or with Premiere Pro on the equivalent of a 65" widescreen monitor is unreal. And I can see where Apple is going with this. I hope they keep working on it until it is fully realized on a pair of lightweight glasses.

Ironically, the  Store closest to me just sold two today; but yes, that's an anomaly.
My local store has sold precisely 1 since the new year. Yes, one.

Not even on display anymore.

Facts…just read the other comments above. I’m not making this stuff up. An Apple Store, as mentioned above, has just sold 1 since the new year.
You are motivated to post these "facts" on every thread? Why?

I use Vision Pro daily, liking it more and more now now that the expectations and features are getting closer to each other. No-one outside Apple really knows the "facts" on its commercial success or lack of it.

I would love to see Apple succeed getting mainstream traction with a subsequent Vision Pro release — the technology foundation is simply amazing. How about you?

Do we truly need to post about minor updates without any new features?

Let’s discuss again at version 3.0, which hopefully includes some actual features.
