$1500 isn’t bad at all. An apple watch can cost $800 and a base spec MBP is like $1400. If it was the price of hololens ($3k?) then it’d be a concern

  I think it needs higher resolution to be able to be directly comparable to a MBP. Can I stare at VSCode all day in this thing or not?

    Then again it's a different platform. Can a MBP compare to a 5K desktop monitor? I get they are trying to make this a productivity tool, but there's a lot of productive use cases outside of directly editing text.

  It's not the same thing. Each of these products have tiered versions targeted at different income levels. If there was only one iPhone version being sold at $1500 then it would probably be dead by now.

    It is the same, with the quest Pro being the highest tier, as plainly stated by Zuckerberg.

      That's like saying I would only release iPhone 14 Pro Max and if you can't efford that there is always two year old iPhone 12. Not very appealing, IMO.

        Quest 2 is at $400, and from a quick search that's cheaper than a refurbished iPhone 11.

    Are you aware of the Quest 2 that is $399? Also: despite the frequent comments by folks here that did not watch the announcement, this is a business-focused device first. It is not targeted towards consumers or gamers. That is the Quest 2, which will continue to be sold.
