I'm just saying there is so much to love about this device, and it bums me out that it's not catching on. I get it. I totally get it, but it does bum me out. In fact, there is a report. I'll probably forget to put it in the show notes, but there's a report I saw earlier today.

I think I saw it on Mac Rumors, and then it was echoed elsewhere that allegedly Apple has built enough Vision Pros, something to the order of like 500,000 of them or something like that, Um, I'm doing this off the dome, so forgive me if I get this wrong, but apparently they've built enough vision pros that they don't think they're going to need to build anymore after this year.

And they'll be able to ride that straight through most or all of next year too.

I found it. I'm not going to read it right now, but I will put it in the show notes. I thought it was something like that. And I didn't think they were going to build any in 2025 either. But either way, if John is right or I am right, it doesn't really matter.

You get the gist is that they've apparently built a lot more than they need, which is really too bad because it is such a cool and incredibly impressive device.

Just as a final note on this, I know we just talked about it, but I would like to echo again what we've said over and over, I think, on the show. If you have the ability, like if there's an Apple store near you or if you have a friend that has a Vision Pro, it's worth trying. It really, really is. Go to the Apple store and do the 30 minute demo or whatever. It's worth trying.

And that costs you literally nothing. When I did it. And admittedly, I think they knew I was literally purchasing one at the time, so they weren't about to upsell me. But my understanding is they're not very aggressive at all about trying to close a deal or anything like that.

Exactly. So truly, it is worth 30 minutes or whatever of your time. If you live even remotely close to an Apple store or if you have a friend or acquaintance that has one, you really should try it because I cannot stress enough, I know I said it a minute ago, when this thing is on, like this immersive video and some of the apps that are on it, it is just unlike anything I've ever experienced.

well that's the thing you'll probably go to the demo and say why are why is marco especially but also the other two why are they so down on the vision pro and it's because of what marco said because the amazing bits generally speaking are the content the amazing content you can blow through that like marco said in a day at most probably quite a bit less than that um now there are other good things like i keep talking about mac virtual display because if you're in the situation where that's useful for you you travel you're you're traveling or you have traveled
