Just wait until Apple starts getting into the food industry and you're eating cubes of flavors.

this thing is going to be collecting dust on shelves.

Soooo no game platform? Just a $3500 phone to slap on your face?

You know its bad when Apple disable the comments section on the release trailer of the new augmented headset, its literally laughable how terrible it looks while wearing it 😂🤣

[JerjerB]

Apple really has the people's pulse. It's like they read my mind! I was just telling my butler I have far, far to much money!

This is quite literally like a spoof product you’d see on SNL back when it was funny.

This has nothing new or special about it, yet it’s far more expensive than anything on the market. A virtual desktop? Yeah, we have that. A big movie screen? Yeah, it’s an app called bigscreen. It works really well. What’s the point?

[krimson]

Pretty cool, but $3500? I don’t see anyone going for that unless they’re literally rolling in cash

Don’t watch a movie on your tv watch with others, watch it alone with a screen right in front of you, don’t interact with others face to face, have a screen right between you, don’t look at or hang your pictures on the wall, view them in vr, don’t live in the moment and merely remember your precious memories view them through a screen where your kids have to look at you through, don’t … soooo dumb

[YOUTUBE_AMERICA]

You can rarely see anyone excited about it

[topopops]

This won't take off.

1.. price
2.. nobody asked for this
3... no real world application like a phone.

Samsung did this like 7 years i still have my headset from S7 im have s22 now....

Feels like we've been pushing VR since the 80s but never really explodes. PlayStation has been trying to push VR but it just doesn't really sell. Personally, I think VR is a gimmick. It's cool for 30 mins but then you're over it. Are you really going to run home everyday to put on headgear?

[matthew]

give it 10 years and everyone will have one. just like any other tech. this is the future

[Saxxin]

Now you actually have puppies and coloring books in you virtual safe space.

This advert looks very dystopian. I am not sure people are really going to go for this outside of it being a novelty.

[kamikaze]

3500 for something you can't even play games with, lol.

[yvonneplant]

The other products were more interesting/ useful/ practical. This is not.

[VRGetaway]

Did they not talk about watching 360 videos in the apple headset? I didn't catch anything about that. It was all flat screens inside the VRHeadset. Are they at least supporting Immersive VR360 Videos played from YouTube in the headset?

Another example of the ‘I saw you coming, ’ brigade.
