#2I believe ar becomes a big thing when they have the size of a pair of glasses with 2x 16k screens. Only then it will become mass adopted, replace phones and a life without is nearly impossible. Now its too big.

#4I bought the 256gb version with the intent on using it as a new and novel medium to rebuild my app building skills from conception to end after half a decade in the enterprise space. I have to say it met my expectations and for whatever gaps in UX and the featureset exist, they seem solvable and that is very exciting. Needless to say, I’m keeping mine. Influencers be damned.

#6It feels like there is a tricky customer match problem with products like this where, for what is kind of a beta product, you want to target people for whom the price tag is not that big of a deal. If someone is spending a really substantial-to-them amount of money, they are probably going to have really high expectations and will be disappointed that it is very imperfect in a lot of ways. I wonder how Apple’s marketing team approached this, and whether they maybe missed a bit.

If you want people to not be disappointed in a beta product you need to market it as a beta product. At no point has Apple even implied AVP isn't ready for prime time.
