Inside the Vision Pro launch 'fiasco' at Apple stores

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A report says Apple’s Vision Pro retail launch suffered major execution problems at many stores despite extensive centralized training plans.
Hundreds of staff were brought to Cupertino for multi-day training, but many employees had only about one hour to rehearse the demo back in stores.
Employees officially had two practice run-throughs before live demos, yet understaffing and recent hires meant many lacked experience and rehearsal time.
Planned four-hour in-store workshops often did not happen as intended, reducing staff readiness for customer demos.
