Revisiting the 3 Biggest Hardware Flops of 2024: Apple Vision Pro, Rabbit R1, Humane Ai Pin


The hyped-up Rabbit R1, Humane Ai Pin, and Apple Vision Pro have continued receiving updates since their lackluster launches. How are things progressing? I tried them again to find out.

Soon after it came Apple's Vision Pro —a $3,499 mixed-reality headset that lets you escape the real world to watch movies, play games, and work in a cyber-office with multiple screens hovering around you. The company claims the Pin's thermal regulation has been improved by a factor of three, and that the laser that projects an interactive display on the wearer's outstretched hand now runs 50 percent longer. It sat on my shirt for a few days, and I would ask it a question here and there and be satisfied with its answer, but I can also do all of that fairly easily with Gemini on my Android phone, or Siri and its new ChatGPT integration on my iPhone.
