You ain’t fooling me by rounding down.The gaming applications seem limited to couch on a big screen in 3D not true VR? At $3400 it’s clearly targeted at Apple fans, early adopters and enterprise not mass market gaming. I guess it’s between a Quest 3 and PSVR2 for me or whenever Valve goes wireless when it comes to true VR games.
Or maybe, just maybe the products are not targeted at poor people?In the long run, their concepts obviously won't fail, because across the board AR/VR apps will be improved. However the product itself could still fail even if they do help move the landscape forward...BUT this isn't the future. Right here right now, they have priced it way too high and haven't given any reason for average consumers with phones, laptops, and computers a great reason to buy a 3499 device. They have, however, given their competition plenty of reasons to improve their own headsets for a 4th of the price.
Or maybe, just maybe the products are not targeted at poor people?
There’s a difference between being poor and not being able to buy this at its price point. Or maybe you are just confused about what poor actually means.Or maybe, just maybe the products are not targeted at poor people?

Watch apple fans lining up to buy this product.
Hardcore Apple user here.
My initial reaction to this device is “no.”
- MacBook Pro
- Mac Studio
- iPad Pro 12.9
- 4 pairs of Airpods
I think it could flop pretty bad.
And all that for a cheap price of 3449, the lines before the Apple stores wil be a mile long.Step in fooks let that cash roll inI don't even care for Apple one way or the other but you're burying your head in the sand if you can't see that this product is in a whole different stratosphere than PSVR 2. It's not even really the same product category.
It's got it's own extremely high end processor, it's own fully fledged OS, an external curved OLED display, greater-than-4k internal displays for each eye, etc.. etc.. etc..
They've thought of literally everything.
Like many things in life, this isn't just either/or. There are levels to this. If someone upper middle class or lower high class doesn't buy this device, it doesn't make them poor. It's a smart decision because they will quickly realize it will be a novelty device that will collect dust shortly after purchase.Or maybe, just maybe the products are not targeted at poor people?
No interest on Apple products purchased with the Apple card. Bought my latest MacBook this way and saved me a decent amount over time.100%. Apple fanatics will put it on the Apple Credit Card, get 3% cash back and pay interest for 2 years.

I assume this is not VR capable at all. I guess they just spend the resources drawing some shit over a 3D footage of the room. Using the M2 chip, looks like a big waste of hardware to me.
I did not think anyone would ever manage to beat the utter stupidity that was the presentation of HoloLens... but somehow Apple managed the impossible. This must be the worst tech announcement I have ever seen, and not by a small margin. I really want my 40 minutes of life back. What an absolute, unmitigated trainwreck.
Those who hype this turd deserve to be mocked more than the NFT bros.
... and probably are the same people.
That thing wil be scalped like hell, they will be rare to get, you will see them on all marketplaces possible for a few 100 dollars more, but hey Applelovers will pay cous......the want it..because, come on its an AppleI mean, most folks with apple produts tend to keep them in good condition and just sell them used for a good amount. I sold my previous generation iPad for 80% the cost of the new one.
Lol, no it isn’t.12ms round trip latency is kinda bad for gaming, isn't it?
He’s 62 years old….. like this is approaching elder abuse.I wanna see Tim Cook work a labor intensive job for a week. Like laying down a new asphalt road or a linemen up on a power pole or you know what would be fun, watching him go through selection or hell just basic training for the army would be fun to watch.
