Timmy giving employees 25 percent discount on pre prders. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/18/apple-vision-pro-employee-discount/ It's unheard for new releases ot products to get employee discount.
I was thinking of buying the G9 Odyssey 57inch monitor, you think this AR headset could replace it? Since you know it’s supposed to be more immersive. I need for both gaming and work. I was going to upgrade to a 5090 once it comes out.
How will you use a keyboard of your buy this piece of crap. Also they have not revealed for fucking heavy it is. It's going to cause major neck pain issues
Lol what, using a keyboard with the vision pro is easy. You can see everything surrounding you in real time and high quality unlike a Quest where the resolution is too low / distorted with lag
Maybe they’re offering a discount this time because it’s more expensive than usual?? I personally don’t think it’s a red flag. I think Vision Pro will be big…for me the issue I see is the future it might create, especially with Meta’s metaverse…
Why give discount is demand was robust? It doesn't make sense
To be fair, it’s not like purchases from employees drive a lot of revenue. It’s probably some HR-pushed “benefit” lol after abusing employees 🤣 Also, having a discount vs being able to get the product is a different story. At Microsoft, we got good discounts when the Xbox came out but girl you had to wake up early to get one. It might be the same thing here I don’t know
We got 50% off on watch when it released and I think apple watch is #1 smart watch. Keep your negative thoughts to yourself
You want your employees to use your products and develop on top of them. It’s expensive, so Apple is subsidizing it. Not that hard to understand. I think it’ll be a flop but the employee discount is meaningless. Or maybe you don’t remember back when Google gave a discount on virtually all hardware it made (or even just gave it away to everyone to use and develop on)
If you understand that employee purchase program then keep you shit to yourself, Apple employee get 25% discount on everything they buy (iPhones, watch, Mac etc) one item per year, not just that they also get $500 from company once two year to buy any Apple product. It’s part of employee benefits. Peace ✌️
You will shit yourself after using it
I will buy mine with 25% discount and drive my Tesla wearing it.
The first generation of every Apple hardware product is literally a public dev kit. If you spend time looking at them as such, you’ll spend less time ripping your hair out posting Apple FUD.
“It's unheard for new releases ot products to get employee discount.” Wrong
Product doesn't have enough use cases to warrant the ultra premium price.
I think it’ll be big with media, and virtual travelling. The level of details looks mind boggling. Even relieving experiences like concerts or other activities. Soon a lot of apps from Netflix to instagram will have crazy features. Even games (thru internet streaming). The reason why it’s even more interesting is that Apple already has a strong and consistent environment so a lot of things will be available by default. Me I am just scared lol. This product might change us forever
I want to watch high quality 3d memories of my children, and I’d consider paying a bunch of money to be able to.

What do vegetarian Indians eat for protein?
Launched a couple years too early, at a price point twice as high as it should be for widespread adoption. They simply timed the product lifecycle wrong
There's incentive to releasing a crappy product early. I mean, look at Alexa. Google Assistant came 2 years later, but Alexa has become a household name no matter how bad it is.
Alexa is also an unprofitable mess to be fair
