    I mean, it’s kind of a smart move.

    There’s a couple options between 500-1000, but no stupidly overpriced “high end” option for people with more money than sense. The people who always just get the most expensive option no matter what.

    Which is Apple’s main niche anyways

      Not at that price point though.

      Phones and computers are something that (arguably) everyone you meet will have and or use, often.

      This VR/AR stuff has been around a long time and did not develop at the same pace because it’s not needed, or wanted, by enough people. Lots of people get motion sickness with this technology.

      This product will not last.

        So?

        It’s like 3.5k, Apple is probably making a lot of money off of it. If it doesn’t sell well, they discontinue support and keep the profits. If it catches on they keep selling.

        I’m not saying it’s a good product, I’m saying it’s a profitable product.

        Guess which one Apple cares about?
