The top comments miss the big driver for the first couple of years: business applications that are remote and/or collaboration heavy. I think these can easily drive more demand than Apple can fulfill in the first few years. Such applications are very price-insensitive.

Also the military training applications are potentially enormous. The cost reduction in training with simulated environments is huge, there's already a lot of DOD investment in this. I don't know how quickly this will ramp up, though.

Yeah the amount of people comparing this to $1000 gaming headsets you have to plug into a $2k computer claiming it’s way too expensive for the (current) market really seems to be missing the point.

I don’t think Apple spent any time at all talking about games during the launch. This is a general computing device not simple an entertainment one. Nor is it a mass market product like a Quest 2 (yet).

But yeah $3.5k is not a lot to spend for businesses either.

I could see every music producer wanting one as soon as some production software gets VRized. And some novel synth UIs get invented. $3k isn’t much in the Music gear world.
