Nowadays, wearing Airpods signals that you have money and wealth.
Give it a few years and no one would care if you have a Vision Pro on in public. And then the cool kids will wear one and suddenly, everyone in high school is asking their parents to buy them one.
Apple's brand is incredible, really.
It’s sometimes a matter of how many people use the technology like you said. The more there is, the less it’s noticed …
iPhones aren’t anymore either. You seen poor people with them all the time.
I could see a kid wanting AirPods because his cool friend has them. I don't think I'd see the same thing with Skullcandy, or Bose for that matter.
By my Junior year everyone was wearing AirPods and there was a greater stigma against people with wired earbuds (“oh, you can’t afford AirPods?“).
That was only 2 years. I think this AVP is more of a dev tool than a consumer product, but I think by v2 or v3 Apple will pull it off.
It'll look weird initially and people will only wear at home. Then by v2, some people will wear it at work and coffee shops. By v3, people might be walking on the street with them on.
Apple's brand makes it "cool". Basically, using Apple products is a way to flaunt that you have money and influence. So I don't see why the Vision Pro wouldn't end up being the same.
