Apple must know they need third party apps at launch and that those apps have to be good, so I expect they’ve worked with/pampered quite a few companies in the last year, helping them build a good Vision Pro app.
Because of that, I expect to see more third-party apps than Apple ones at launch, and I expect all of them to be good or at least very impressive to demo.
> and nearly everything third party will be second class at best.
If we interpret “nearly everything” as “the overwhelming majority”: that is the case on any App Store, so that’s not surprising.
Secondly, I guess some CEOs will fall for the status/prestige or for “if the neighbors have it, so must we” and for now, care less for the money.
Thirdly, there almost certainly will be few customers, but all buyers will be rich, even for iPhone users, and quite a few likely will be decision makers. If, say, Zoom has a good Vision experience, but MS Teams doesn’t, and that swings a CEO of a large company to switch to Zoom, that’s worth a lot of money for Zoom.
So, even if you’re completely rational and think it isn’t worth it, your fear that having a Vision app out will make some other CEO make the irrational decision that, therefore, your smartphone app is better, may be enough to make you decide to invest in a Vision app.
I guarantee the best Vision Pro experience will be exclusive to their own apps and nearly everything third party will be second class at best.
If they can’t make their device effortlessly seamless with existing apps, it’ll be a total failure.
