At Apple, Rare Dissent Over a New Product: Interactive Goggles.
Apple is projected to ship fewer than 500,000 headsets in a year, according to Counterpoint Research, a market research firm.
By comparison, the company was expected to ship about 40 million Apple Watches after its debut.
The modest expectations for the headset speak to the challenges in a category where sales declined 12 percent last year to $1.1 billion, according to NPD Group, a market research firm.
Seeking to define a nascent market is an aberration for Apple.
“Apple is always pretty good at coming into a market when the market is already established and changing that market,” said Carolina Milanesi, a consumer tech analyst for the research firm Creative Strategies.
“This is not the case for Apple VR and XR.
There’s still a lot of learning.”
Some internal skeptics have questioned if the new device is a solution in search of a problem.
Unlike the iPod, which put digital songs in people’s pockets, and the iPhone, which combined the abilities of a music player and a phone, the headset hasn’t been driven by the same clarity, these people said.
