Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day::Despite expectations, Apple has failed to sell out of its Vision Pro on launch day. This is despite estimates of day 1 availability being limited to between 60,000 and 80,000 units.

What about "Apple has managed to supply enough units of Vision Pro on day one"?

[–] [email protected] 73 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That would work except knowing apple. Their plan was Probably to sell out by deliberately limiting supply.

It is currently impossible to make more than 500,000 units per year due to their complexity. Less than that when you account for inevitable production defects.

So for the foreseeable future, Apple will be consistently failing to keep up with demand. They could charge $10,000 per unit and still not be able to keep up.

Well, this article says they are producing way less than that, selling it for way less than that, and they still had unsold inventory. I’m not sure from that how do you understand “and still not being able to keep up” when it literally says otherwise.

The article is click bait, what did you expect?

The displays and the chips that drive them cannot be produced in large quantities yet. Until that changes, there is an upper limit to the total number of units Apple can make.

The initial stock of Vision Pros have been split between online preorders and in-store purchases on launch day. The online pre-orders are sold out. The rest will no doubt sell out on launch day.

What the fuck are those sources hahahaha, you can't just say a name and act like that's a source. Did you use LLM to write that comment?

Saving this comment. It might be the stupidest thing I've seen on here yet lmao.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Just because you say things, doesn't make them true.

Looks like the base model DID sell out.
