There is too much wasted wealth in this world. An AR headset is a great idea. Not at that price. Anyone who is spending that much on a first-generation AR device is too rich.
It’s a big ask for an unproven platform. But then the same could be said for the original Mac, which launched in 1984 at $2500, which would be $7000+ today.
I suppose the question is will Vision Pro be the next Mac or the next Lisa.
I think it’s that expensive, because it is really hard to mass produce and so they want to reduce number of sales needed while still get the project costs back.
If there one thing that apple has mastered, it is the calculation of expected number of sales depending on price. They will adjust margin accordingly and will never gift you anything. That is why the price is so high, they know there will be few buyer, but those who buy whatever they ask.

And also just 256GB of storage at that price.
They want you flying on a plane watching a bunch of movies or playing a bunch of games and give you 256GB.
Don’t forget spatial video. A minute of spatial video is approximately 130MB. 256 GB is going to fill up fast.
Just have an external hard drive hanging off your face, duh!
