> myself talking about how useless the iPhone was
The need people had is, wanting a phone you can carry with you anywhere (not tethered to a wall).
While the original iPhone might have had limited functionality (no 3G), it still solved the fundamental need people had - which was a phone they can carry anywhere.
What fundamental problem/need is Apple Vision Pro solving on Day 1?
(I'm not being a hater, I'm genuine curious to know/understand)
