Apple is waiting for third party devs to do the hard work for them of making the platform a success.
After which they will charge them 30% of their income.

I think Apple (and Meta) are making an unforced error by not developing a few compelling apps to spark broader interest in their VR devices. Even if those devices fail.
These headsets could be positioned, at least in part, as extensions of Apple TV platforms where there are original titles created by the vendor.

This. The iPhone was a huge success because even without any apps, the web browser, phone, music, and maps made it a very useful device on its own. The Vision Pro is mostly screen mirroring natively and for most people that’s not compelling enough.

Apple immersive video has been the killer app for me, but their release schedule is 5 minutes every other month. They really need to double down on the media creation imho

I think if they were able to develop compelling VR apps, they would have. I don’t think it’s an unforced error, I think that nobody knows how to.
