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”?
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.
Just because you say things, doesn’t make them true.
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?
How dare you question Ming-Chi Kuo 😤
Daring Fireball vs. Ming-Chi Kuo
FIGHT!
Saving this comment. It might be the stupidest thing I’ve seen on here yet lmao.
The apple watch also failed to sell well initially. Now just about everyone has one. I don’t own a single apple product, but the one thing Apple has going for it with new tech is that they invest in their ecosystem and don’t give up on products too quickly.
“dont give up on products too quickly”? Whats with repairability or any iphone older than the newest iteration? They ditch any “real” support for it almost immediate after the next release.
I’m not sure if using the longest running and best smelling smart phone line in existence as an example of a product apple gave up on top quickly is a good strategy there champ.
Longest running? I see the iphone 14 already deprecated and abandoned by apple after the release of the iphone 15. Almost every year 1 new iphone because they ditched the old one. If you just pumping out “new” phones + you ditch the old ones and urge or even destroying “old” users products that use 1 or 2 generations older iphones or other products of the big apple because “they are not the most up to date ones” is not giving up on that product?
Almost every new iPhone. The product line is the iPhone. The product in the like is the specific phone. Saying apple abandoned the iPhone is like saying chevy abandoned the Silverado, the longest running truck model in America, by releasing a new one every year. It’s literally the exact opposite of the point you’re trying (very very very badly) to argue.
I am not arguing, its sadly a fact. Apple abandon every iphone or macbook that is older than 1-2 Generations ( or rather said 1-2 Years ). They make on almost all iterations something incompatible or deprectating stuff to force “old” generations userbase to buy the new product. The iphone LINE is very long running but every iteration is not that long. I said it about repairability about their phones, they just either refuse to repair “old” (1-2 year old) laptops or smartphones, and that is what bugging me about them. With it the iteration is dead/abandoned by apple, as they control every part that a third party repair service could use, literally making your phone very risky if something breaks nothing can be done.
