$3499 is a high price, but if Apple can deliver, this might just be the next iPhone-like product.
I think folks are missing the point that this is the first Pro version. Likely targeted at developers and early adopters. I’m sure there will be an Air/Lite/etc version that cost reduces overtime.
And considering Apple isn’t really known for dropping product prices as the years go by, all this really does is tell us that the tech just isn’t ready for mass production yet.
I’m considering this, like Google Glass, to be a neat proof-of-concept.
In a world of $1000 cellphones, $2000 computers and $40k cars, I wouldn't be so sure. I suspect if the prices do stay this high, it'll get priced on a monthly like how many people pay for their phones or cars.
That's a really bizarre thing to say. People will literally spend that on a fancy watch. They will spend 30 times that on a car.
This can’t be compared to other headsets out there, and is rather in an entirely different product category.
The only drawback I can see is the 2h battery and potential fatigue from wearing something on your head, near the eyes for longer periods of time. Maybe that'll be a non-issue? Will have to wait and see.
