How about… it generates 1.5-2x revenue of the leading Swiss watch brand (Rolex), and sells more than the entire Swiss industry combined.

Translation: "We have no clue when it's coming out, so we're giving such a wide time frame that we can't possibly be wrong!"
It would be great, but it can’t, because that’s what lenses do, and it doesn’t have software lenses (which is currently fantasy tech), so you need prescription-specific hardware.
Something that is still unclear to me: The prescription lenses are only for the far sighted right? I am near sighted and need to wear glasses, but I assume that with a screen that close to my face it wouldn't really matter
Edit: Apparently it does matter, thank you for the clarification!

While the screen is an inch away from your eyes, the lenses that already exist in a VR headset push the focal point to an equivalent ~2 meters out in front of your eyes because it is (near) impossible to focus that close (1 inch away) for any period of time.
It ‘actually’ adjusts the light that much, assuming a 20/20 person will be using it.
So we need more different lenses to correct the lenses that are already in the headset. As a fellow nearsighted person (-6.25 power 🙁) this annoys me as well.
yes it does matter. I am near sighted too and need glasses/special lenses for things like the quest 2. Reason being because your brain still things it sees things at a far distance when in "vr"
-6.25? holy apple! I have -1,25 and it's already terrible without glasses. I can't imagine how it must be with -6.
On the other hand, Swiss watches don't become obsolete every few years.
After seeing the positive reviews the Quest 3 has been getting I imagine what Apple will be doing is figuring out how they can get the price down. I'm not saying it's anything approaching a level playing field between a £500 and £3500 headset by any stretch but consumers aren't typically interested in a £500 headset to start with!
Halving the resolution via foveated rendering, removing the glass exterior and perhaps using the M1 processor are probably all being considered.

Gaming on one of these has to bring that battery down to 20 minutes. There is no way it’s going to game on that battery
It does. But usually only once every 5-7 years when the car is improved upon.
Not every. Single. Year…
You will always sell more $299 watches than $1.2mil ones (Patek Philippe).
sorry, the "Pro" right now is only in the name, which parts, microLED per OLED (main displays), miniLED, even LCD (external display), M2 per M1 or A Pro, iOS (visionOS) on AR doesn't justify the inicial price, perhaps 2499 and slow down in the next years 🤷♂️
Exactly what I was thinking.… The 1st gen is going to bomb if people decide to wait for the 2nd gen.
Well, at least it will save me $3.5K in regrets for not being patient.
I would hope so. There's a lot of us without an Apple Store available near us. I'm probably not going to buy the first version, but who knows what the future brings.
