This week, we dive into the world of Apple's latest innovation: The Vision Pro. Lauded as the pinnacle of personal electronic devices, the Vision Pro has set the tech industry abuzz. Many are left questioning its purpose - a mystery we aim to unravel using our trusted Jobs-To-Be-Done methodology. Will this enigmatic device live up to its hype, or is it a leap too far even for the giants of Cupertino?

Jay places his bet on the Vision Pro not only succeeding, but rewriting history as the most profitable, most satisfying product ever created. A bold claim indeed, especially when contrasted with Tony Fadell, the iPod's godfather, who tweeted that Apple may have just "jumped the shark" with its steep $3,500 price tag and 2-hour battery life.

This discrepancy paves the way for an in-depth analysis - has Apple pushed the boundaries of innovation or overstepped them? Join us on this journey as we leverage the Jobs-To-Be-Done framework to dissect the Apple Vision Pro and predict its trajectory.
