Hope the rumor in this article that Apple will sell the device at cost is true. Oculus understood that they needed to sell cheaply at first. I don't expect Apple to come in at $299, but the rumored $3k is a pretty heavy lift.
- bluescrn 3y agoAt £3K, they're not going after gamers or even enthusiasts. They're more likely going after creative professionals who're already all-in on the Apple ecosystem. Maybe product designers or architects, who want to show clients their designs in VR, and a slick Apple device will probably make a better impression than a PC VR setup with a bulky headset, cables everywhere, fans whirring, etc.
- nickthegreek 3y agoIf $3k is the cost of making them without any markup, they are in big trouble.
- malwarebytess 3y agoThat's similar to the hololens approach to market. Didn't go well.

- throwuwu 3y agoBit disingenuous about PC VR. There’s only 1 cable to the headset and if you have a decent rig the fans won’t be blasting. Big Screen’s new headset is going to blow Apple out of the water on weight, size and comfort too.
- crooked-v 3y agoThe Beyond doesn't fit the kind of role mentioned here at all, though, since a major part of how they've made it so small and light is by ditching the idea of being adjustable at all and just assembling each unit to match a specific person's face.
- fomine3 3y agoAn advantage of Apple is that their SoC is seriously great for mobile devices.
