A year after its launch, the Apple Vision Pro remains largely unused, raising questions about its success as a next-generation computing device.
Just a couple of days ago, on February 2nd, 2025, we marked the one-year anniversary since the launch of the Apple Vision Pro, a product so long and hotly anticipated that many hoped it would replace our smartphones and become the next big breakthrough in computing. Do people love using it or not? That's the only thing that ultimately matters.
\For me, the real verdict for a new product category that is supposed to change the world (such as the Apple Vision Pro) is not about how many units it sells or whether it revolutionizes a certain item on a specs list. It's about... the usage. This is the ultimate factor: do people actually use this new device? Does it improve their lives in a meaningful way? \There is one sitting on my desk, unused, gathering dust. It's free and there is no line — if you want one, you just go and take it home, set it up and... just enjoy using it. This sounds like a great deal: just go ahead and take a revolutionary $3,500 gadget home and use it. Here is the cruel verdict, though: in the last six months, no one has even asked about it, let alone try to use it! It's been gathering dust and I actually had to charge it to freshen up my mind about it for this article. I tried it for a couple of weeks myself and I appreciate the technology inside it. It's clear to me that this device might be a game-changer for so many specialized use cases, and we have heard reports of Vision Pros being used in surgery rooms (now that sounds cool)
