Decision
What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Proceed with caution
- Why
- Best-in-class hardware with a mature dev SDK, but Apple's own production cuts, ~3,000-app ceiling, $3,499 price, weight, and stability issues make it strong for internal/dev/enterprise use and weak as a mass-market target
- Next
- Acquire 1-2 dev units for visionOS 26 prototyping and Mac-virtual-display workflows; do not plan a consumer-facing spatial app as a primary distribution channel — the consumer market is contracting and the native app pipeline has stalled
