   Apple’s Vision Pro is a flop

   Apple's Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, priced at $3,500, has struggled with sales since its US launch in February, failing to sell 100,000 units in a quarter. Market tracker IDC reports a 75% drop in domestic sales for the current quarter. An international launch in June and a cheaper model expected in 2025 might boost sales. The success of the Vision Pro heavily depends on the availability of content. Early responses are mixed, and Apple is considering a budget-friendly version to improve market performance.
