The strap'll only be an extra $999, I don't see what the big deal is.

If this isn’t referred to the Apple StrapOn and be marketed as “When you need a reliable top” I’m going to be very disappointed.
This thing is gonna fail so hard.
It seems like from the reviews that they may a very nice headset that is very tightly integrated and extremely high-end. I’m intrigued that they only started to market it as a general purpose computing device. Clearly they have an army of developers who will race to innovate on the platform. I wouldn’t bet against Apple on the long game. I agree it will take time and they are only getting started.
Normally I won’t bet against Apple. They know best and if they don’t (HomePod, AirPods Max), they still do somehow down the line. They are just better at selling than anybody else in any industry ever. But I feel like the Vision Pro could be the first real and complete flop Apple has in this millennium: If they would have know how insignificant Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens are and how hard the primary vision for Zuck‘s bleakest of bleak legless corporate metaverse looks, they wouldn’t have build a headset in the first place. VR/AR/XR has a singular use case with gaming and its not really relevant there either and none of the major tech companies wants to focus primarily on that. Apple was afraid of AR dominance by Google or Microsoft a few years back, probably, and started this project, but maybe they should have written it off.
I don't think people want VR enough to spend 3,500$ on it and a lot of normal people won't have the money for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
