Edit: oh god, what have I done! Yea, mobile + autocorrect got me good here.

Hopefully corrected version here with original below …

So my hot take since before launch has been that this will be the end of Tim Cook‘s tenure. The more they lean into the product, as it seems they will with the next model, the more likely that seems to me.

Roughly speaking, I get the feeling it’s the first wholly new product pushed by Cook. And a big flop is never good for Apple‘a brand power.

How off do you think I am?

I thank you for ~~can barely understand~~ this edit of your comment, ~~but~~ I think you're saying this is Tim Cook's Lisa Computer?

Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Tim was probably on the way out sooner rather than later anyway, but I don’t think the larger problem with the Vision Pro is that the Venn diagram of people who think it’s cool and people who can afford it is way, way too small.

Worse, the Venn diagram of people who find it useful and who can afford it is even smaller

I don't see why one failed product would do that when everything else is still amazingly profitable. They can afford to take risks with a product, and they actually should try to expand outside of phones and computers.

Tim Apple spent tens of billions on a car and then shelved it. The Vision Pro is better than that. Their product line is crazy small for the size of the company. They could try new categories all day for decades.
