What's fascinating here is that it is ABSOLUTELY a VR headset, probably one of the most capable on the market, but Apple is TERRIFIED to even speak the word VR. Like they're convinced the whole segment is toxic but they've sunk this much R&D into it, so let's pivot and pretend it's HoloLens.
On the one hand, they are focusing on things that the device will deliver, that won't depend on promises of games and metaverses that may not come, but on the other hand, "What if I had a computer and a big TV in my house" may not be the dream-like fantasy Apple thinks...

Too much emphasis on 'work' for this to have consumer pricing.

As much as we moan and complain. This IS the future. Point blank.
This is an iPhone level announcement.

Game changer imo.
very impressed.
3499 is a steal. You can spend more on a 77" OLED. Are you people foreal? Lmao.

Not really. The technology is as unbelievable as its price point.
It's truly an amazing achievement of engineering.

Im watching with a bunch of people in real life and literally all of them say they want one.
3499 is cheaper than a 77-88" OLED TV.

This was a bizarre presentation. They went out of their way to show NOT ONE fucking thing I can't already do. Oh, I can watch movies and browse the web and run apps? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.
The hardware looks cool, but Apple's vision for how people will actually use this is incredibly boring and I don't think all that compelling in day-to-day situations. Maybe cool for travel, but that's not enough for a device that costs as much as a used car.

Have you seen Apple? Ever? They never do something that no one else does. They just do what everyone else does, but better or in a simple, clean, and unified way.

One is for an individual niche product the other is a entertainment device that all people can use.
$3500 is outrageously high.

And most people don't purchase 77" OLED's, I get it's got impressive tech, but as I told Eddie ages ago, this isnt really for general consumers, it certainly isn't for games (which is all I'm interested in), it's mainly for pro use (it's in the name)

Virtually everything they just showed it doing, you can do on a Quest 2.

Bull/hyperbole, just because Apple will be launching a non gaming focused AR device that has nothing to do with the future of VR

Exactly. This isn't for general consumers anymore than a Macbook Pro, Mac Studio, or Mac Pro are. They are for very specific groups of people.
