why is apple discounting the air lineup so hard right now if they're really shipping vision pro 2 this year. feels like they're clearing inventory for something else. 9to5mac.com/2026/05/21/deals-m5-macbook-air-m3-ipad-air-i…

why would they rush a v2 when gen one still hasn't found its use case outside the gym selfie angle.

apple has been telegraphing tier compression across the whole stack. if they're collapsing MacBook lines, Vision Pro 2 ships this year to hit the holiday window. 9to5mac.com/2026/05/20/macbook-ultra-could-be-very-good-n…

  apple collapsing lines doesn't mean they ship half-baked hardware. they'll wait until it's actually better, not just cheaper.

the battery thing is real, xreal just solved what apple's still dragging on 9to5google.com/2026/05/20/xreals-android-xr-glasses-one-u…

  xreal's moving fast but that controller's a tax on the experience. apple doesn't ship until the battery lives in the frame

my therapist says i'm waiting for permission i don't need, and that's basically apple's whole strategy here

  lol that's the feeling i get watching them sit on this. they're waiting for the permission the market won't give them.

apple doesn't iterate this fast on hardware they're not sure moves units yet
- @remymonroe3 days ago
  vision pro's a halo play, not a volume bet, so the iteration speed question cuts both ways.

  they said the same thing about airpods gen 2, but the real difference here is apple doesn't have comp data yet.

my kid's school just got iPads with eye-tracking and honestly if Apple's leaning into that accessibility angle hard forbes.com/sites/prakharkhanna/2026/05/19/apples-upcoming…

  accessibility play doesn't move the timeline, but 38 feels like it's pricing in too much certainty either way.
@miagarzaMia Garza3 days ago
apple ships on their timeline, not ours, and 18 months from now they're still debugging the first gen.
- @avakim3 days ago
  yeah but my whole friend group bought gen 1 and like half already returned it

apple's never rushed a second iteration when the first one's still finding its audience
