    my take is this a legacy project from the whole Metaverse hullabaloo from last year but they already threw too much at it to just pull the pin..

    this feels like a giant mistake on Apples behalf.. especially on that price point..

    Also the whole USA first release thing is so 2007 .. I get it, your an American company but your a global brand..

    for sure interested to try it, there is no way in hell will be buying ..
    at almost $5300 Australian .. I would sooner be buying a new laptop..

    Also what's with that stupid battery pack?

    • maybe these could work as part of some immersive augmented experience gaming where groups of people play together and pay 29.99/ hour long game in some warehous_niko
    • but at 3500 US a pop I don't see how these will fly as a consumer products, way too niche._niko
    • 2 hours per battery pack, they'll be selling lots of battery packs if watching media is an intended use case for this device.BuddhaHat
    • I think you can just plug it in too.monospaced

    • Apple price anchors while developers create quality applications (medical, design, engineering). Autoflavour of your post aligns with their desired perceptionSlashPeckham
    • In two years time it will lower prices and make far more off app subscriptions, events and contentSlashPeckham
