Apple’s Vision Pro has had its fair share of challenges.

Initially aiming for 3 million units, the forecast adjusted down to 900,000, then 800,000, and ultimately?

Just 450,000 sold.

For a $3,500 device, that's a tough spot to be in.

Going from developer kit to flagship in a hurry? Classic Apple.
