I don’t see any valid use for its inevitable debt inducing price tag.

I can't say I was particularly blown (apart from the spatial video capture), there's nothing especially new here - and it looks like it's got a massive wire to .... an external battery (LOL). Think this will sell about as well as the Quest Pro at $3499 and trying to do this with no controllers at all (Kinect says hi!). The strap/ergos look comfortable but need to see people who are not on Apple's payroll play with it. M2 processor, and a new "R1" (not the motorcycle) chip for the input processing - technically a two-processor system I suppose.
And Disney's "impossible" things, that have been possible on pretty much every VR headset going back to the CV2.
The tech is definitely impressive for screen and lenses, but I'm not going to be rushing out to pre-order one.
$3499. LOL.

I heard if you take a Pelican flight case full of Krugerrand to Apple HQ tomorrow, you can pre-order one.
It's got all the same problems as the Quest Pro, trying to aim at businesses, thinking people will use them all day like a PC/Mac, just with a more than double price tag attached.Last edited by MartyG; 05-06-2023, 19:19.

What I found most engaging (for the wrong reasons) is just how similar its featureset is to a Quest Pro, in terms of what they showed the user actually doing with it.
But as always, with Apple, it's like they invented everything because they give it a name. Videoconferencing didn't exist before FaceTime after all.
