Hmm that's a bit disappointing.. I feel like Ive and Cook could be wrong on this one. If desktop/mobile is an appropriate parallel, then it seems like they've decided to undercut their desktop machine to have the "ergonomics" of a mobile device while still not being mobile. If the VR headset is a stationary experience, then what's wrong with having a hub sitting around nearby?

I’d guess the AR headset is more interesting to Apple and probably not a stationary experience.

The goal is new UI extension of iOS similar to the watch. Eventually making it so you don’t need to pull out your iPhone to interact with software (and the world) at all.

Probably at first will be notifications and such. No idea if there’s any truth to this video, but it makes sense to me that Apple would focus on this as the next platform when the hardware becomes possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5J_6oMMG7Y

I think there’s huge potential for a massive shift in capability if this is done right.
