There’s a difference between being poor and not being able to buy this at its price point. Or maybe you are just confused about what poor actually means.

This guy will get it.
I am here, unable to buy used car that is younger than 10 years...
And then there is this guy picking up his "meh, maybe I will get rid of it" 94' supra.... in a ferrari.
And that detailer is so expensive, he gives the guy performance tires for free.
Then there is me who got 2k$ in bank account...

The intial shock is one thing. but if you think about it... its like a macbook pro with the best goggles ever. Still overpriced for the everyday consumer, But as bad as you would think concidering all the parts.

The device looks high end and will probably be way better than all the cheap headsets.
But I'd never see myself spending that much on something like this, call me in 5-10 years when you can get something like this for $1000 and I might be interested.
Normally I'd say DOA but it's Apple so I actually think it will sell well.

I wanna see Tim Cook work a labor intensive job for a week. Like laying down a new asphalt road or a linemen up on a power pole or you know what would be fun, watching him go through selection or hell just basic training for the army would be fun to watch.

Well, price is just silly of course but the device itself is pretty impressive. I like the battery solution too if it was a bit longer. More headsets should do that with the battery.

I’m excited and optimistic about the potential of VR/AR. The technology on display here was pretty impressive.
The presentation was a typical glossy Apple affair. It certainly felt like some bull shotting was taking place so I look forward to a hands on opinion.
If you’re complaining about the price and don’t have the money or interest in getting one, don’t worry, it was never meant for you.
I’ve been loosely following rumours on this thing for ages so was aware it was going to be expensive and not targeted at the general consumer.
I’d never buy a first gen Apple product and I’m grateful to those who have the money to beta test them for me.
There absolutely will be a mass market, cheaper version down the line.

Like many things in life, this isn't just either/or. There are levels to this. If someone upper middle class or lower high class doesn't buy this device, it doesn't make them poor. It's a smart decision because they will quickly realize it will be a novelty device that will collect dust shortly after purchase.
Apple's battle isn't just to sell this to average consumers, but also to the millions of consumers who already have VR interest or own VR devices like the Quest and also to workplaces that are within the apple ecosystem(since this device was advertised just as much for work as it was for pleasure).

12ms round trip latency is kinda bad for gaming, isn't it?
For the price it looks to big and clunky, them not showing the battery pack is deceiving. In a couple of generations, when they reach the size of skying googles and internal batteries I'll be interested.
edit:
They dont even show the battery on their web side lol - 2h runtime is super sketchy.

I did not think anyone would ever manage to beat the utter stupidity that was the presentation of HoloLens... but somehow Apple managed the impossible. This must be the worst tech announcement I have ever seen, and not by a small margin. I really want my 40 minutes of life back. What an absolute, unmitigated trainwreck.
Those who hype this turd deserve to be mocked more than the NFT bros.
... and probably are the same people.

No interest on Apple products purchased with the Apple card. Bought my latest MacBook this way and saved me a decent amount over time.

In the airplane segment on the commercial, was that a nob that blended from the passthrough to the vr surroundings? That's brillant. Also, the reverse passthrough showing your face is great. I'll definitely be visiting an apple store for a demo. That's the only way I'll get to try it... Pity no games, though.

I'm surprised that there aren't more companies putting out crazy expensive doo-dads because there is a sucker born every minute.

It would be cool if MS would release Xbox games for it and let you play it like you would on a flat screen tv.
VR games are meh, but VR acting as your TV would be awesome.

All it takes is the right marketing and people will eat this up, despite the price.

Um.. no.
This is a VR headset with cutting edge cameras/displays to make the passthrough perfect.
There is absolutely no reason this wouldn't be an insane VR headset. It's just software.

I don't buy first generation Apple products after lessons learned years ago, but a rev 2 will definitely be on my radar. When factoring in the price, remember there are a lot PC people (probably even here) that pay 2/3rds the cost of an Apple headset for their graphics card alone only to play buggy ports of console games on their overall more expensive Windows box. I spend a little more and get a completely new platform.
Now it just needs to survive the first generation.

So during video calls everyone will be staring at half your eye, your forehead (assuming there is a camera inside the device), or won't see you at all? OR everyone will look at what a wanker you are, as you talk to everyone infront of your webcam (or phone camera) wearing that on your face.
