That said, I thought the rumor was Apple was going to reveal 2 headsets - 1 available soon for $3k, and another priced at ~$1.5k(ish) that would be available in Q1 of next year.
The $3k model was essentially the beta version of the mass-market device so that Apple could continue to field test software and apps to make sure that the next iteration of the device would knock it out of the park.
My whole question is - what sort of killer apps does Apple have right now that would make a headset a must-buy? That was one of the things that sort of doomed the Hololens and the Magic Leap - lack of useful applications.
Would Apple really release a device without a reason for consumers to actually use it? I'm all for AR/VR - it's cool tech for sure, but I don't see any mass-market necessities the device would fulfill. But that doesn't seem like Apple's M.O, does it?
