I wouldn't be surprised if this get suspended and eventually withdrawn like the AirPower, it's not a very attractive product regardless of the price.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.
No chance Apple gives up on this. It was bad PR enough when they had to give up on the airpower but this headset is a whole different story. It's not just some accessory it's a brand new product category and is supposed to be the current CEO's legacy. There's IMHO no way they will just say "oops my bad" and not launch it.
