I complained about the battery as well, but things like the Quest have similar batter life.2 hours of battery life with a battery pack. Only Apple can get away with this in 2023.

I think the only person that is excited is Tim Cook.
No it is not lol. If this was discriminatory pricing then people with Lactose intolerance would not be paying more at coffee shops for dairy alternatives.
They made a point of saying the battery was separate to reduce the weight you’re wearing on your head. It will be a long time before they can reach a point where they could add in the battery and keep it comfortable.
Its not a 4k display.. its a display that feels like a 4k display. We do not know the exact resolution at this moment.Anyone else find it ironic that they advertise an iPad health feature which measures the device-to-eye distance, yet their groundbreaking new product has 4K displays an inch away from your eyeballs?
Not very good if you want to use this thing on a flight, or want to walk around your house for a full work day as they showcased in the presentation. but I'm sure Apple will sell you additional batteries for $500 each probably lol.2 hours of battery life with a battery pack.

It seems funny, but the porn industry is usually the industry that pushes these types of devices forward.
It seems to be an astoundingly high price for a device meant to singularly consume content. For $3500, you could buy an excellent home media system with a projector for many to enjoy. It just seems to be such a lonely product.
Everyone said the Mac was too expensive.
Everyone said the iPod was too expensive.
Everyone said the iPhone was too expensive.
Everyone said the Watch was too expensive.
Yet here we are.
This is an absolute game changer.
The biggest new product announcement since the iPhone.
It will absolutely change the way we enjoy entertainment, do work, and interact with the world around us.
16 years from now, we'll all be walking around wearing these wondering how we ever did life without our Vision devices.
Who needs a computer? Who needs a tv? So many possibilities.
And the people complaining about battery life... Get another battery. *sigh*
"So and so are already doing this!"
And when the iPhone launched the Palm Treo and Blackberry still existed.
*5,000 patents* That's a staggering number ya'll.
Personally figuring out how to sell a kidney so I can afford one.

It is beautiful, and I LOVE the style and concept. But, $3,500 and a 2-hour battery pack?
That's a non-starter, and crazy fundamental misunderstanding on how a lot of folks will use this - or want to use this.
You can't finish a lot of movies. It would be worthless for a lot of long plane rides. Even around the house in a remote work option, 2 hours sucks!
It needs an 8 hour battery pack and some price trimming to make it an in demand item, IMHO.

The original retail price of the Apple II with 4 KiB of RAM was US$1,298 (equivalent to $6,268 in 2022) and US$2,638 (equivalent to $12,739 in 2022) with the maximum 48 KB of RAM.
Just sayin'
yeah right, they know thats what advances technology and creates clear winners... blu ray vs HD DVD etc... whoever porn selects to be it's host becomes the winner haha
The technology in this thing is cool, but the creep factor is off the charts.
$3499 gets you the 720p version with mono sound and no batteries or power cord. If you want the 4K spacial audio model with batteries and power cable then pricing starts at $8999.
First off, none of the models seemed to be able to pull off looking happy about wearing this thing. I'm sure they were told to smile and look happy but that just made it worse. Nobody wants to see what people actually look like when they're staring zombified into their monitor, either.
Aside from that, I think they did a great job of showing what it can do. The whole time I was thinking "I want it I want it I want it but..." and then they said $3500 and I said "and there it is."
I will absolutely be getting one of these in a few years when the release the Vision Air for $999 that does essentially everything that this one does that anyone used.

Sure it is expensive, but they did miniaturize the tech quite a bit since 1977.
Lot of people in here don’t know what a high end vr device costs.
Comparing to oculus quest isn’t just stupid but it’s ignorant.
Day 1 purchase.

Said that to a friend as soon as that iDevice "eye distance" thing was announcedAnyone else find it ironic that they advertise an iPad health feature which measures the device-to-eye distance, yet their groundbreaking new product has 4K displays an inch away from your eyeballs?
The only thing I don't quite get is the battery life, I really hope they take the time to improve or offer more expensive power packs. Seems like an easy solution. I am sure there will be kickstarters or 3rd party solutions of power bundle packs or something to increase.
You'd be surprised how many people out there have a ton of disposable income to spend... and how many people are fools that will just swipe a credit card without thinking lol... This thing will sell really well regardless.. I am sure Apple didn't just throw a dart at a wall and pick a price... A lot of research and thought went in to this pricing.. This is probably their biggest product since the iphone, they are not going to risk it flopping.
