Same question people ask every time Apple enters a new market segment.

I’m also wondering who this is for, but I don’t need to know, I’ll find out. When the iPad came out I was like “LOL STUPID BIG PHONE” and now I’m airdropping shit to my iPad Pro so I can edit stuff better than I can on my computer.

Where is that video of Ballmer (then CEO of Microsoft) just laughing at the iPhone price tag… it was something like 3-5 times most other phones at the time, and IIRC the first version there were no carrier rebate.

People just like to feel edgy with sharing their opinion I guess.

“DAE APPLE BAD”

[–] essteeyou@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This seems like a bad time to release what is pretty much an ultra luxury device. I don't think anybody needs one, and it's a tough sell to the typical early-adopter, software developer crowd in the Bay Area who have been getting laid off in their tens of thousands for the last 18 months or more.

The other problem is I would totally buy one, but Apple don't want to sell me it because I've committed the cardinal sin of not being American.

All round that's just a weird product. If it can do all that Apple claim and do it as well as Apple claim then it'll be an absolute game changer, but if that comes at a price that most people can't afford then what's the point? No one was ever in doubt that VR could be this good, the question was whether it could be this good at a reasonable price and the apparent answer is, no it can't.

I won't buy one but I can see the market for it and believe it's going to be great.

Same people and companies that buy high-end headsets such as Varjo XR-4.
