Apple plans a slow, appointment-only rollout of Vision Pro
Slightly tangential rant, but is anybody else becoming frustrated with the process of buying Apple products in Apple stores? For me, it started with the Apple Watch - I knew which one I wanted and was ready just to head down and buy one, but I was forced to sit through an entire &quot;fitting&quot; with patronising explanation on how to use the knob on the the side. Recently, I wanted to buy a new Phone. Again, I knew the one I wanted and was ready to part with cash and walk out with a box as quickly as possible - I approached a sales assistant, said: &quot;Hi, I&#x27;d like to buy a new phone please&quot; (or words to that effect) to be informed that if I didn&#x27;t have an appointment, it would take half an hour or so to get somebody over. A random store nearby that also sold phones had no issue selling me one.<p>The whole experience of visiting an Apple store has changed from being something I looked forward to just another shopping chore. The VR headset is a case in point - if I want to be guided through the process, then I will ask for that. Otherwise, just sell me the damn product! I guess maybe I&#x27;m just not their target audience any more.
