I’m not really an Apple product person, but I still like watching their presentations to see what sort of new stuff is coming up.

I think the most anticipated thing this year is their mixed reality headset, I’m interested to see if it’ll really be as expensive as insiders have been predicting.

    I’m in for the headset. Either it does the apple thing of giving shape to an unfocused consumer tech product (media players, smartphones, super thin laptops, tablets) or we get an amazing train wreck.

    Best case escenario apple sends every manufacturer in a wild goose chase again. Lots of cheap parts flood de market and open hardware headsets become accesible.

      The headset announced today seems more aimed at industrial and commercial use like the HoloLens, and the price reflects that.

      If the rumor mill is to be believed, a cheaper more consumer-oriented device is expected to be announced sometime after the Vision Pro hits the market.

      Pretty amazing tech, now that it’s been shown. I’m sure it will be a 3-5 year arc, where the price goes from $3500 down to $1500.

    it was for smarter Siri and better password management, but oh well… AR was nice to dream of too.
