I wouldn't be surprised if this get suspended and eventually withdrawn like the AirPower, it's not a very attractive product regardless of the price.
The LCD panel on the front showing your face is tacky and battery wasting, it has a surprisingly limited movement space, the battery setup is too awkward for still only covering 2hrs like the Meta (Oculus) Quest which has been on the market for years.
I think this product is like the Cybertruck, where we were all looking around the room to see if anyone else thought it was cool before making our opinion, it just looks lame.
I don't believe we will see another breakout product from Apple, but they will remain on top like Sony has with their consoles due to already having market dominance.
As a person who doesn't buy Apple ecosystem hardware, I don't know what niche this product is filling for me.
I don't already use VR, so what is this product doing to draw me in to VR? On top of that, what does Apple VR offer that other VR services do not?
