Apple has all but given up on the Vision Pro after the M5 model failed to revitalize interest in the device, MacRumors has learned. Apple updated the Vision Pro with a faster M5 chip and a more comfortable band in October 2025, but there were no other hardware changes, and consumers still weren't interested. The Vision Pro has been criticized for its high price tag and its uncomfortable weight.
It also took them years to release an android app for it.
Honestly I don’t think Apple has the chops to build something outside their ecosystem. They just do not want to put in the work to cater to people not in their ecosystem.
That makes the idea of a VR headset with sports harder. I mean, to redeem a FREE (included with MLS season tickets) pass you had to either have an Apple device or a windows or Mac computer with iTunes. Because they had no way to set you up otherwise even though you would be streaming on a roku or fire stick or whatever.
They definitely have the air of not wanting anything to do with you unless you’re all in and that kind of attitude is hard to square with a broadly available device.
Ok, that’s a point. Apple wants you on their devices. That’s true.
exactly, hardware is their business model. this is like complaining that Google or Meta monetize your data. That’s the deal.
