    It’s Apple. I expected nothing less than the most ridiculously priced products to be produced by them. So the figure is eye watering but expected. If these sellout, as some predict, it proves unequivocally that Apple fanboys are the most rabid idiots in existence.

      For a high end enterprise geared headset that functions as its own standalone device and doesn’t require any connection to any other computer to work, this isn’t even expensive.

      This isn’t meant to compete with something like a Quest. It’s meant to compete with something like the Varjo Aero, which goes from $5-10k.

      For a company deciding on implementing AR/VR, the cost to get a Quest Pro for $800 plus a $2500 workstation to power it, vs a $3500 Vision Pro that doesn’t need a workstation, it’s pretty comparable.

        That Apple wants to sell to John, Martha and their 2.5 children.

          Company sells goods to consumers, more at 11.

          There’s always people out there that want to be on the bleeding edge. People spend $2000+ on just a 4090 card, or $2000 on a stupid folding phone that breaks from a grain of sand.

      Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 does less than Apple’s Pro Vision and it costs the same. Is it really that overpriced? And the cost goes way way up from there.

      it proves unequivocally that Apple fanboys are the most rabid idiots in existence.

      Maybe you should look inward before making silly comments like these.

      Honestly, I don’t even need half of the things that it does to justify the price, for me - just give me a dual 4k, 100 hz displays and a display port connector and I’ll gladly shell out 3k to play vr video games on it.

      If these sellout, as some predict, it proves unequivocally that Apple fanboys are the most rabid idiots in existence.

      looks like you value money much higher than some others do - interpret that however you will.
