Analysts said it would sell around 350,000 units, so that’s below expectations of what Apple expected by shipping 800,000 units.

A flop would have been <100,000.

Either way, I think that Apple expected this and they were preparing for an update on 2025 if things go really well, but it didn’t. Whatever units have in the oven, they will probably be used for a Vision Non-Pro.

Even then, they will have it rough. Current VR headsets are cheap enough and good enough. It feels like the iPhone came 2 years after Android came to the market.

That is the debunked news though as Apple can only make 500,000 this year as they are constrained by the displays that Sony is making for them.

Edit: here is one of the places I read the debunk. https://www.uploadvr.com/apple-vision-pro-production-cut-claims-debunked/
