Half as much is still no where close to where they need to be to get mass market adoption.

Apple is selling iPhones for what, 1500? That’s nearly half 3500

The average person is buying an iPhone under a 2-3 year contract. Most aren't being bought outright.

I don't really understand this assessment. Half as much is $1,750. That's really not much compared to what people are willing to pay for Apple devices. Basically the price point of an iPad Pro, and I think the potential of the Vision Pros is much higher than the potential of the iPad. It's just a matter of whether they can realize some commercial use-cases like with the iPad.

The Vision Pro is marketed as a device with the potential to replace or significantly augment a laptop and/or TV for a lot of users (I understand there are presently some asterisks needed there). And that's assuming no other novel, high value uses emerge.

Apple sells something like 7 million MacBooks per quarter. Many of them are well more than $2000. I don't think a $2,000 price point is a crazy barrier if the device is able to live up to what it could be.

It's NOT going to cost $1,750 in 2026. Not going to happen before a Macbook Air is sold for $600.
