    That’s what I mean though everyone understands VR to be a gaming peripheral first and foremost. Apple then came in to that market with a non-gaming focused VR headset (sorry AR special computing headset) with no obvious practical application.

    What am I supposed to do with it it can’t game but it also can’t do anything else. I literally can’t even watch YouTube videos on it. I can watch VR videos on my phone with a piece of cardboard yet this several thousand dollar device from Apple can’t do that. So why would I buy it?

      Yeah absolutely. Baffles me too. Wo knows, maybe cook just let his nerdy side get a little bit too excited and forgot to think about customer value.

      But I gotta be honest, (even as a non apple user) apple throwing their weight behind this shit makes me feel hopeful that at some point people will feel enticed to actually solve problems with the tech. Im biased though as you can probably tell (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)
