The article is bad but just look at the engagement!

Notably, the Forbes article mentioning the 400k units "telegraphed" is sourced from a Financial Times article that cites two sources close to Apple and the supplier Luxshare. [1]

Also, an insider was very actively leaking information about Vision Pro and other Apple products at this exact time. [2]

It is believable that actual internal unit estimates would have come out of this source.

The article also pulls in the Humane pin, and Cybertruck which have nothing to do with the Vision Pro.

If the article were presented as something intended to showcase perceived new product failures hey, it is okay to editorialize something like that. What is this author other than some self-presumed analyst themselves?

Instead, it looks like something that may have started that way and then got editorialized into a VP hit piece.
