Thank God, with oculus being hostile towards consumers this provides a much-needed option,. I strongly suspect this will be the first year pro model, and next year so we'll see a consumer model. Assuming it runs on an a12 or an a14 chip existing iOS apps, I.e Unity projects will run out of the box. So I could imagine developers being able to get games out within a month or so.
I do wonder if Unity has some type of top secret team which has early access to the Apple apis ( at least a phone number to call Apple's internal tech team/

Maybe an A14x or M1x with way more GPU cores could pull it off, but even then I think we’re talking about another huge leap over what we’ve seen out of Apple Silicon thus far. That said, this excites me - I wouldn’t be buying a gen 1 at 3k, but down the road I could see replacing a laptop or two with this kind of thing.
