I like the fact that Apple left the ad up on YouTube. I was disappointed the comments were turned off as that would have been the real entertainment.

Sure. They also pledged to support Chromebooks for 10 years. My point being is that I don't think they'll be clawing back their new hardware support windows anytime soon. Their data indicates that these devices were used well beyo

The hubris of Apple to think people would buy such an overpriced and underwhelming headset. They should have developed a mid priced VR headset.
