No problem. This is tech I've been waiting for for a long time. I understand why it's hard to imagine the benefits without seeing some applications actually built out, and would not encourage anyone to buy it at this point unless they do have that clear vision for what they want from it. For the tech in it, though, when you compare it to the alternative VR only headsets, the price is pretty aggressive.
If you're interested and near an Apple Store with demos, I highly encourage you to try it out. It doesn't really showcase any AR, but the level of clarity and depth you get on 3D photos and videos is really impressive, and worth checking out for the sake of it. At least at my store, I was super open about "I definitely can't buy this in the immediate future" and they were still perfectly happy/friendly about doing the demo.
