Multiple monitors when travelling would be my use case.

Apple deliberately eschews gaming, which can be annoying (as I am five years or more, behind PCs, if I'm lucky).

I have a friend who has a Quest 3, and he absolutely loves it. He uses it for AR gaming, and it works great for that.

I'm assuming that we'll eventually see this descend into the mortal realm, as far as pricing goes, and then we'll find out if it's got legs. As far as I'm concerned, these are just developer prototypes, at present.

In the areas where Apple chooses not to compete they are easily beaten. A cheap VR headset is better for gaming. Basic image editing is more responsive and has better UX design in things like snapchat compared to ios photos. Ios text editing is arcane and painful. These are just the basics.

And it's unusable for gaming because it lacks a controller.
