      Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you’re done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.

      Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn’t one.

        If they had just sold a unit that was a virtual desktop display, it could have been a useful product that people wanted to use.

        Instead, this bloated useless thing…bleh.

              Normally I would agree, but the company developing the hardware are the guys that make immersed, which is the desktop integration software all the other VR headsets on the market are using. So if anyone is gonna make anything decent, maybe it’ll be them?

              It seems good in theory, and comes in at like a quarter of the cost of apple’s monstrosity.

              It’s also pretty niche, targeted at professionals who would use it to enhance their workspace than gaming.

      Aw. A cute little comment that fits nicely with the article headline.

      Thanks for saving me time by giving your summarized dissection of the article and the implications it has for apples product.

      Oh and btw all tech products stop production at some point, because you know, apple isnt a dumbass that pumps out products without regard for demand as they are creating a successive model of the product.

      Stop scrolling. Start thinking.
