Just listened to the podcast... Great as always 
The concept of Make a very expensive high end headset which only a few will buy. Devs, YouTubers, and a few Fans.
With the concept of just the single group "Devs" will then be able to work hard to invent/create lots of amazing software on this device, which will then build up a great library ready for when the much cheaper consumer model will be launched does worry me as a concept.
First you need devs to pump their money in without any guaranteed return for all the hard work (Unless Apple pays all their dev costs)
Plus you will have to already have/know the consumer hardware/pricing at the start to be able to plan all of this.
And would Apple really make a $3000 dev model, which will be replaced with a $500/$1000 model a year or two later to run all this created software which can do all the same as the $3000 dev model can do.
Must say, it all sounds a bit weird. In theory sure I can see that, if Dev's time and money were not being considered and consumer versions as a price that will sell in the millions is guaranteed.
Not convinced about this suggested plan.
