Apple begins scheduling Vision Pro training for retail employees as launch nears - 9to5Mac
Apple is ramping up its preparation for Vision Pro’s retail launch, according to a new report from Bloomberg. Apple has...
$3500. to see a floating spreadsheet. 🤦♂️
People paid that much to see a glowing spreadsheet 40 years ago.
To be fair, people also said the iPad was just a big iPhone. It’s really a question of what will developers be able to do with the hardware.
Sound great, but it just means they got sent a link to a video and will probably have to watch it on their own time .
These seminars are getting scheduled now, and training is set to begin in the middle of January. Each employee will be trained for two days, I’m told. It’s a high-stakes endeavor: The Vision Pro’s setup process is going to be complex and not something Apple wants to screw up. The device needs to be customized for each person, and a poor fitting could ultimately ruin the user’s experience. Every step will be carefully orchestrated, including how retail employees approach a customer and how they place the device on a user’s head.

Now that is interesting. In other briefings, they have claimed that someone from every store, selected via interview process, will go to Cupertino for 2 days training.
And that people who ordered online, will be pushed to collect in store to receive the “complex setup” from a trained employee.
I don’t believe either. Because it speaks to a product that would be difficult to use (against Apples “it just works” ethos. ). And one they wouldn’t sell online because of said “complex setup”
Doesn’t sound right to me.
The stupid thing is heavy as hell. Still it will sell really well as a status symbol
Or because it is genuinely cutting edge, and there's nothing else with the pixel density (even a pretty small step down murders text) and high quality low latency passthrough available?
Can I just buy the status symbol and then not have to wear this bullshit?
