This is literally what people say with every Apple launch. I remember people including myself talking about how useless the iPhone was. This was written from an iPhone :/

> myself talking about how useless the iPhone was

The need people had is, wanting a phone you can carry with you anywhere (not tethered to a wall).

While the original iPhone might have had limited functionality (no 3G), it still solved the fundamental need people had - which was a phone they can carry anywhere.

What fundamental problem/need is Apple Vision Pro solving on Day 1?

(I'm not being a hater, I'm genuine curious to know/understand)

"a phone you can carry with you anywhere (not tethered to a wall)" was a problem solved by the Motorola DynaTAC in 1983.
Cell phones existed before the iPhone came out. The iPhone didn't solve that problem any better than a regular Nokia phone at the time. It's not about the problem it's solving, it's how it solves it. Apple solves problems in ways that actually make using the product enjoyable.
A: It was a phone which is a useful too.

B: Are you ignoring having unlimited data and a useful browser that you can use anywhere? I bought the first iphone the day it came out because I had been looking for a product like that for ages but all the browsers were kinda clunky and/or they were limited to wifi/extremely terrible data prices.
