This isn't the mass market version of the tech. This iteration is a developer kit that early adopters can also buy. Apple has always said that they want a version that fits in a glasses style form factor as their mass market product, but the tech wasn't there yet. > Apple CEO Tim Cook said that it will be a while before the technology available for augmented reality glasses rises to Apple’s standards, according to British Vogue. “There are rumours and gossip about companies working on that, and we obviously don’t talk about what we work on. But today I can tell you that the technology itself doesn’t exist to do that in a quality way,” Cook told Vogue. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/apple-ar-glasses-tim-cook-says-tech-wont-be-ready-any-time-soon.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/apple-ar-glasses-tim-cook-sa... They keep iterating on it in-house, and keep finding that the tech still isn't ready. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-glasses https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-glasses I think the current plans are to focus on a cheaper version of Vision Pro in the short term. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-glasses-reportedly-delayed-but-a-cheaper-vrar-headset-could-be-coming https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-glasses-reportedly-dela...

When they released dev kits, that’s what they called them. This is a Pro product release. I’m personally inclined to believe that this product is more likely to kill off the entire VR/goggles dream than lead to a $500-$1000 iteration that’s at least as big as iPad. Glasses? Like the ones I have on my face? Not in my lifetime… This is Tim Cook’s trash can Mac.

  > Glasses? Like the ones I have on my face? Not in my lifetime… Your remaining lifetime must be pretty short. Technology evolves at a ridiculously fast pace. Just as a reminder, the Nokia 3310 was one of the most popular phones in 2000. We went from tiny, monochrome displays to foldable full-color displays with magnitudes higher resolution in what most call a quarter of a lifetime.

You're moving the goal post. This is priced at multiples of what's currently in the market while being worse.
