Everyone and their dog knew the iPhone was coming and what it was about.
- roughly 4y agoEveryone knew an iPhone was coming, but the device itself was absolutely a bombshell launch.
- sys_64738 4y agoThe form factor redefined the cellphone standard form factor. Apple would do the same for VR.
- rchaud 4y agoI greatly doubt it. Everybody already had a cellphone in 2007, and Apple pricing it at $200 with carrier subsidies tipped the scales in its favour when it came to rapid adoption. There are no such discounts likely with their headset; the estimates say it will be $1500 minimum. And unlike a phone, a headset is not an essential device that goes with you wherever. So it won't create the same kind of excitement the iPhone did.
- bitwize 4y agoPeople speculated correctly that an iPhone would be released under that name. But there was no confirmation until the release. People are now speculating that Apple will release VR gear. We won't know for sure until release.
- morcheeba 4y agoYou don't remember the phone-bolted-on-to-an-ipod renders. There were lots of surprises, and even then the impact of half the innovations weren't widely recognized at the time. https://theultralinx.com/2014/07/6-crazy-iphone-mockups-real-iphone/ https://theultralinx.com/2014/07/6-crazy-iphone-mockups-real...
