Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day::Despite expectations, Apple has failed to sell out of its Vision Pro on launch day. This is despite estimates of day 1 availability being limited to between 60,000 and 80,000 units.

Same with Macbooks too. The first few iterations were kinda ass but around 2005-2007 they exploded in popularity. By the time I got to grad school nearly 50% of laptops in any given class were those white or black Macbooks.

Definitely true for the iBooks before them. iMacs were hip and trendy transparent plastic colors but no one wanted that clamshell affront to aesthetics in their lap.
