Let's wait and see if 1600USD VR/AR headset will be market hit or miss. I am personally skeptical.
- uguuo_o 3y ago1.6k+ computers, high but understandable . 1.6k phones, way to high. 1.6k+margin (3k?) for a AR/VR headset, seems like something most people would never buy.
- llaolleh 3y agoDon’t underestimate Apple fanboys.
- TylerE 3y agoApple fanboys are the least likely to be into this sort of tethered, hattery pack requiring frippery.
- brookst 3y ago“Most people” don’t buy laptops. That’s a terrible measure of whether a business is attractive.
- uguuo_o 3y agoMost people meaning their potential customers. As a customer myself, there is little that would convince me to get this headset for that price.
- qwytw 3y agoI highly doubt Apple or anyone else expect most people to buy it. It's a new market with no content and no clear use cases. So starting slow and brining the price down over time seems like the best strategy.
- nocoiner 3y agoThat’s just component cost though, right? Now apply Apple’s typical margins on hardware to it.
- roflyear 3y agoIf these costs are right it will be at least $3k
