Seems like there are enough news reports (albeit based on rumors) to resolve this to YES? Apple might not release official figures anyway, so depending on the level of evidence needed this could in theory otherwise be impossible to resolve.

@JacksonWagner have you decided what the resolution criteria are here? :)

@HenriThunberg good point, and thanks for the reminder -- ideally I'd like to go with the same resolution criteria that the other Vision Pro markets plan to use (ie the ones by yourself, Ian Phillips, and others). If we don't get official word from Apple, should we just go with whatever Min-Chi Kuo says?? Should we wait for some credible balance of reporting, or for the rumored reports to exceed the threshold by some margin? Will we someday be able to get accurate (or at least closer) numbers based on investors analyzing some Apple quarterly financial report?

Lofty goal ->
