Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Best-in-class display and now-mature visionOS, but a ~45K-unit holiday quarter, a production halt, and a >95% marketing cut mean the consumer install base is shrinking, not growing — value is enterprise/reference, not mass market
Next
Treat as enterprise/prosumer reference platform only; prototype spatial UX against visionOS where high-fidelity passthrough matters, but do not bet roadmap on consumer reach
