It seems like a developer tool for building VR apps, which could make sense if they were planning on making a $500 device later. But, absent clear plans there, I can’t really see why anyone would buy it.
OTOH they wouldn’t sell any at all to consumers if they announced there was a sensibly priced one planned for the future.
- rafaelmn 2y agoApple is the last company I want a VR headset from. Like I'd buy iPad instantly if it could run a real OS (like a surface pro) - but Apple loves the app store margins soo much they will fight tooth and nail too keep you locked in, at heavy expense of capability. Likewise for Apple vision pro : - productivity - only if it fits the store model - entertainmen - only if daddy Apple approves - hackability - no way MacOS devices are a legacy from a different era in Apple business model - they would not build such devices today - and are not really expanding the range. iPhone I can live with the lockdown for the integration between MacOS, likewise for accessories (even here I might switch due to the taste their ecosystem business leaves in mouth). But VR and iPad are things where I want fully capable/hackable environments - that's not going to happen with Apple App Store business model.
