Yeah the prospect of throwing down a couple of months rent… for precisely what value add (?) is going to be a hard sell for Apple.
Yeah you can watch a film, on your own, on a big virtual screen for $3500 rather than watch the tv that you already own in the company of your friends and family for free.
Or you can use your computer, but with a big floating virtual screen, which is a good thing I guess for $3500, or buy a large real monitor for $100+ dependant on demands, and not wear a heavy dorky headset with limited battery life.
There is nothing that other tech doesn’t do for cheaper (and often better) even when you combine the price of the multiple products you would have to buy to cover all use cases. Except maybe viewing weird 3D photos… great.
This product is isolating and antisocial with limited battery and it’s hugely expensive with no good usp. Looks to me like a rare Apple L.
Agree with all of this, however there isn’t any need to tone down release schedules. There being a new product doesn’t force you to buy it, however it does mean that when you do come to buy it there is a fresh model available. For example imagine if they adopt a 3 year release cycle and you break your phone on year 2.9, now you’re forced to buy a model with a 3 year out of date feature that will itself be obsolete faster, especially since a new model is round the corner. This isn’t the best system. Better the phone companies keep making the latest tech available, so when you do need to buy you can get the phone with the longest life ahead of it.
