You mean the problem that it’s the most valuable company in the world?
And when it comes to AR/VR, those precious milliseconds actually matter much more than a smartphone or tablet. 90hz is the bare minimum for a base (not hardcore) experience.

Cameras and eyesight were part of the weight problem I was proposing has already been solved by another solution. Did not say it is for comparison, just that other solutions have been put forth, vetted and overwhelming approved by the VR community.
Beyond, now has eye tracking mod.
I'm skeptical of this VR stuff at this time. And I think that's a lot of $$ to spend on a 1st generation product.
But...I've also learned not to bet against Apple. I mean, I was skeptical of the iPad when it was first introduced. "Why would anyone need a pad like device when I can just use a cheap laptop instead?" And when the Apple Watch was launched, I was also skeptical. "Why does anyone need this? Hardly anyone wears watches any longer."
Guess what though? I own an iPad (4th gen Air) and an Apple watch (series 5) now. So Apple tends to know what they're doing. We shall see if this follows a similar path.

Their demo video looked like it was written by The Onion. “You’ll still be able to see people. And they can see you.”
Really? These Incel Goggles don’t provide a cloak of invisibility? What a shame. And I’m glad users can still see me.
Because I want them to know exactly who it was who slapped them upside the head for spending $3,499 on this junk.

Buying VR isn't incel behavior, but wanting to slap someone because they did something you don't approve of is.
Sitting alone in your living room wearing $3,500 ski goggles and playing Super Fruit Ninja on them definitely qualifies.
Not nearly the same resolution. And where are the sensors and cameras for eye and gesture tracking?I would disagree. 127grams for Bigscreen Beyond.
Bigscreen Beyond
The world's smallest VR headset. Featuring OLED microdisplays with 2560 x 2560 pixels per eye, custom pancake optics, and SteamVR tracking – all in an unbelievably small form factor weighing just 127 grams. And for ultimate comfort, Bigscreen Beyond is custom-built for you – fitted to the shape...store.bigscreenvr.com
They are only superficially comparable
Interesting time for Apple. People keep saying they can't innovate, here they attempt to try something compelling in the VR space by making an AR device and try to change the shape of computing, putting our a device we would see only in movies a decade ago, and they are ripping Apple for making such a device.
I can definitely see the potential of this device (and the societal downfalls of such a device), but I commend Apple for taking a crack at this space to see how they can shake it up.

And what does creating a new account simply to call others incel qualify as? Because you’ve never sat and played games alone before doesn’t mean everyone who does is somehow wrong, and there are plenty with $3500 gaming rigs even if you can’t.
There you go again, incelling people what they are allowed to do.

It qualifies as a public service.
But back to the goggles. What is the perceived benefit?
Chuckles.
The perceived benefit of the Apple Vision Pro (in my opinion only) is to 1) break the tether between computer and large physical screens, 2) allow for a more immersive (dare I say 3D) interaction with your files/work/entertainment, 3) provide a more intuitive way of working/relaxing. That's the hope. We shall see the reality in a matter of weeks. Some of that will only be a hint, some of it I expect Apple will have nailed perfectly.
If that’s all you can envision them for, uh, well, that’s a very odd takeaway from what they will actually be used for. But some folks have foresight others don’t. Obviously not the product for you.
You could wear them to have a more realistic experience alienating and poking people.
what if I told you
You drive a hard bargain. I asked the manager and he said we can throw in an extra GB for a whopping 256! Just sign here and it’s yours… 📝
People with crooked teeth get to pay for braces, people with hair get to pay more for shampoo than bald folks.
Also, I predict 3 months until Amazon stocks compatible inserts made of plastic (the connector, not the lens)at 1/3rd cost.
The price for the prescription inserts is very reasonable. But user could also opt to use contact lenses instead.
This type of headline always annoys me with new products. There's no way to qualify popularity based on sell out status if numbers aren't released.
Will Apple make 100 units or 100,000 for sale?
