$300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device::Apple is selling developers a $300 USB-C dongle to connect the Apple Vision Pro to a Mac, but in this incarnation, it turns out to be no faster than Wi-Fi.

      Just extracting wealth from the cult fans and tech illiterate. And they will keep pushing the insane prices, until people stop paying (sounds familiar). I wish they’d use their absurd profits to actually bring to market something truly spectacular. Dyson makes more daring and innovative products, funded by vacuums, heh.

          Agreed. To be clear, I only meant this in the most insulting way to Apple, the proud engineers of $300 goggle straps and $1000 monitor stands.

            You realize how massive of a marketing pull both of those are right, the 1000 dollar wheels were like 20% why people didn’t forget the mac pro 2 days after it was announced.

        It’s Closed Source. No one truly knows how it really works. That means you were right to begin with. It’s a gorramn cult.
