@jbz Interesting. But since they cut production in the "start of 2025" its probably related to the end of production of the M2 model. And after that they shifted to the production of the M5 model.

I don't really understand the media coverage on this topic. VR and the Vision Pro are only a niche product category and this will stay that way. And with its price the Vision Pro still isn't a loss for Apple.

@jbz At its price point, the Vison Pro was always going to be a niche device. But I suspect that sales were bad even for its niche. Part of the problem might have been the lack of a killer application.
