I completely agree and all that seems obvious if you think about it for more than 30 seconds. Apple or not the whole product category has a hard limit governed by physics that won't get "solved" anytime soon and it's pretty clear that what can be done with that tech won't change, probably forever... That considered we are back to the usual niche applications of VR and then the price is just not even close to reasonable, no matter how cutting edge the actual hardware is (only the displays are really worth mentioning in the end, and the reason others don't use them is because they are too expensive to justify). At 500 bucks, it was already a hard sale, but at least it can be a gift for nerds or something that won't get used very frequently but is ok to splurge on for entertainment; what Apple has made is fashion for fanboys... All that is before talking about the fact that with today's knowledge none of this will ever be truly mobile. The external battery pack is already a bit of a travesty but even more when you consider that they put the compute (that is already limited) inside the damn thing, even though for serious applications, it would need much more. However, considering how bad the GPU story on Apple Silicon is, it is clear that Apple doesn't even envision proper games on this thing even though it is one major application! For this price they had to provide a MUCH better computer, not just the compute capabilities of a diminished iPad (because a good amount has to be used for the spatial features). Since efficiency gains are vanishingly small it should have been clear that the compute requirement would only go up and then putting it all inside the thing isn't a viable strategy. It should have been either an affordable headset that would connect to Mac or iPad or a complete standalone compute platform where instead of connecting to just a battery, it would connect to full computing box (upgradable/swappable at least). Then again, under Cook's leadership we got the 2013 Mac Pro and saying it was shortsighted is an understatement. It's basically the same thing, but even worse, because at least a Mac Pro has a clearly defined use case for its price, even though it might have long term shortcomings as a platform...
