No thanks. I have never, and will never give any money to apple.

Can’t wait for these demos to be the new Covid epicenters.

This is dead tech, they're only pushing it because it is 10 years of billions in R&D and a lot of egos involved

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.

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.

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

Mixed reality has a ton of potential seeing the Quest 3, but they are usually not seamless enough.

If Apple can pull this one off then 3500 is a lot of money but some people spend this much on a TV or a bike. If it's a truly amazing AR experience it might be well worth that price.
