    $3500 head set that offers little except a bit of hey-that’s-cool. When most people are dealing with inflation and rising costs. Apple could have paid me a lot less than they spent on the thing for me to tell them the thing is was destined to be a dun shitburger.

    Apple should have a better understanding about the percentage of their customer base that have and are willing to piss away $3.5k on folly.

      from a developer perspective: the tiny install base that cost indicates means it will never be cost effective to devote large amounts of resources to. I have friends that have targeted the platform, but solely for social media / exposure returns - no one thinks they’re developing apps and use cases that will return a fraction of the cost in time invested.
