According to several people directly involved in the production of components, Apple has significantly scaled back production of the Vision Pro since early summer, reports The Information. Luxshare, which assembles the Vision Pro, has been informed by Apple that production may cease in November. Currently, Luxshare is producing about 1,000 Vision Pro units per day, down from a peak of about 2,000 units per day.
According to The Information, this decision indicates that Apple has built up enough inventory to meet demand. So far, suppliers have produced components for about 500,000 to 600,000 headsets.
Market research firm Counterpoint Research estimates that Apple sold about 370,000 headsets in the first three quarters of this year and will sell only 50,000 more by the end of the year.
Apple is now focusing on a cheaper model, known internally as the N109, which could be released by the end of 2025. Apple plans to produce a total of 4 million units of the device, The Information reports, citing a person familiar with the supply chain.
The Red Matter series has impressed the hell outta me (photoreal graphics, great story, and especially the second one with puzzles and limited combat), Moss 1 & 2 (hoping for a 3), my dad and BIL like Walkabout Mini Golf so we play that as a family, Shadowgate (decent fantasy RPG), Tsuro (board game), Myst (pure nostalgia), In Death.
It does feel a bit lonely, but not any lonelier than normal for me because I gave up on multiplayer years ago (it wasn’t fun as a girl when voice chat became necessary).
Every time I’ve tried multiplayer on Quest, it’s been a daycare centre, so if you really like multiplayer games, you’ll probably not enjoy that. I wish games (like among us) would pair people with their own age group (or maybe they do and all of Quest is a daycare, who knows).
If you want to try playing again, pm me if you want my info. The newer games are much better than a few years ago.
e: oh, new game called I Am Cat that I’ve just started. It’s in early access and nothing visually impressive, has bugs, etc, but it has promise. You play as a cat.
