Kuo: Apple's Mixed-Reality Headset Likely to Debut at Spring Media Event or WWDC

You prove the point I make but you think you’re being smart.
This forum isn’t a 3D headset. We can use it and still dress normally, wear make up, have stylish clothes and not have creases on our face.
People need to live life normally and socially and not be forced to look and feel worse because of a device.
These analysts just be wildin' with their predictions the whole damn time. Then when deadline approaches they just say it's 'delayed' or pushed back.
Just can’t see this being a top seller if it’s really even going to be a thing. Demand for VR and mixed reality devices just isn’t there.
Ear Tampons + Ski Goggles + Nintendo Powergloves = you are more advanced and knowledgable than all these naysayers. 😂
For examples on Apple's products that suffered from a failed price strategy search for: iPod Hi-Fi, Power Mac G4 Cube, Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, First Generation MacBook Air. Those I remember from the top on my mind. I know there are others.

The pessimists view of the first iPod even AFTER it was revealed and we knew what it was, what it could do, etc...
Obviously, they were so right about the nothing potential of that miserable product bomb. What does Apple know about developing great new product categories in tech? When have they EVER rolled out something they were not already selling and had a winner?

LMAO after flailing and wailing in the other two threads he has come to take over the conversation and rewrite history, make inaccurate comparisons and sell us the future — his future 😂😂😂
I’m definitely curious to see what apple will do with this, it has been too long since apple released a new product (or indeed even a true upgrade to an existing product), although I doubt I’ll be buying this thing (or that it will have a non-niche market until the price drops below $1000), and even if people buy it I can’t imagine them using it for more than a few minutes a day. I think there is a high potential for this thing to end up like the original HomePod: overpriced, non that great and quickly withdrawn from market.

As opposed to your gigantic pot of extremist pessimism in all of the same threads which contributes nothing to the conversation. I talk possibilities. You sling nothing but absolute product doom... with no room for any other outcome.
I agree with the sentiment. At some point it just feels like someone blowing smoke. But assuming these were correctly-reported plans getting pushed back... I suspect Apple has a very clear performance-to-watt ratio they need to pack in this thing in order to get a good experience out of it. You could see a scenario where they were expecting to get that out of the M2. Then it arrived and wasn't enough of a boost. So they said "let's wait for the next node from TSMC." In that case, we *can't* see this device before those chips are rolling out. And we just have to hope it gives Apple the results they're looking for. I'm sure there's other parts of this thing still being polished too. But the holdup is probably the amount of compute this thing has to do, and it's not allowed to connect to a computer to do it.
Lies. We all explained how these devices could be an accessory. We described their technical problems and difficulties. You replied with gigantic nonsense paragraphs how your VR will replace all our devices and you even questioned why we have a Mac, iPhone and and read actual books and watch actual televisions. Your vision was that we would just live in this headset all day like some kind of sweaty 4chan VR loser with no life.
This is EXACTLY what you pitched us:

No you are lying. I said nothing about replacing all devices. I said this could sub in for screens of some devices.
To ONE guy who has all 5 primary devices questioning why he might need this, I said he did NOT need this... but he could probably do in 4 devices everything in the 5th and in 3 devices everything in the fourth. That point was to show that he already had more devices than he needed if unique function was the driver, so someone else without all 5 might cover some of the same functionality with goggles as one of their 3 or 4 or 5 devices instead of necessarily needing to buy the very same 5.
I repeatedly contributed that we would not LIVE in these things. That's all you. What I shared is we might use these like with use a laptop screen now. I assume nobody lives in a laptop all day.
You repeatedly make up your extraordinarily negative view of whatever this might be and then put the worst of your own thoughts in others people mouths. When called out about that, you just ignore and keep spewing the same... presumably believing this is a game of just bash it enough times until everyone sees it your- and only your- way. Good luck with that.
I sure hope we stop using those swimming goggles to illustrate the Apple headset, unless they plan to go with something that ridiculous.
AR/VR is such a domain of vapourware nowadays outside of gaming (and even then, that niche isn't doing so well either once the hype wore off) - next up the analysts will tell us Apple has killed the AR/VR headset project altogether.

Keep rewriting history and lying.
It’s not going to be a macOS device. It’s called macOS because it comes on Macs.
no VR/AR Goggles this year, this is the year of Matter and home automation. last year was the year of privacy.

That is my words and- for me- if it works as I'm imagining it might, I probably would replace my laptop and possibly tablet too with this thing. See the (what) "IF" part above the part you highlighted.
I did not say it WILL offer macOS. I said if it can give me that, THEN I MIGHT.
I did NOT say that everyone would have to do as I was speculating maybe I could. In fact, I offer many comments to the contrary. We are allowed to have our own ideas around here, our own "what ifs" and our own ideas about what a new product from Apple might allow us to do. Sharing that doesn't obligate anyone else to do the same.
There are no absolute proclamations from me. I don't know what it can or cannot do. But I can constructively speculate about what MIGHT be possible. You seem to only be able to contribute that nothing anyone offers as "what if" is possible.
