I'm in the UK and know loads of people with Iphones or apple laptops, but zero people with the headset, and don't really know anyone with any interest in it.

I've never even heard of a single person talking about it.

I’ve never heard a single U.K. friend talk about their Aston Martin but there are plenty on the road. I’m just not in the economic group that buys them.

Feel like the Apple Vision is the same way, to a lesser extent. Current price tag makes it a rich person’s plaything.

I'm in the US and don't know anyone with one personally, but I did try one out at the store. Though I was looking at houses on Zillow yesterday and saw one sitting on the desk in one of the shots. I suspect the home owner works for Apple, due to a lot of the other stuff that was also in the room.

I think the price is the main reason few people know anyone with one. VR and new tech aside, how many people do you know who would spend $3,500 on a computer? Of that list, how many people do you know who would spend $3,500 on a secondary computer? I'm the only person I know who would even consider it.
