As we know from past reports, anything a leaker reports today was a problem 6 months to a year ago. They just don’t have access to the folks that know what’s going on “today”.
Got a tip for us?

What if it had Adult content thrown in for a 3 month trial. I mean it could be bundled with fitness which ever way you get it. ?
not only no, hell no.
According to rumors reported here the use cases are gaming, video conferencing and media consumption. Why do I even need another device for those is beyond me ... there are far more useful use cases ...

If Apple pulls a HomePod and AirPod Max in this 😂
I've been thinking that this was the intent of AirPods Max (and Spacial Audio) all along: as a partner device/feature to support Apple VR. I think they were just ready ahead of the headset.No, no. Not included. You need to add the $550 AirPods Max for that.
I mean, why not release AirPods Max early, recoup R&D spend with early adopter dollars, easily weather the sea of online gripes about price, then drop the headset and talk about how the pair offer the "ultimate, Pro Max+ experience." Especially with the v2 AirPods Max - which the v1 adopters will also gobble up - but so too will some of the headset purchasers. This is why I think we will see pricing closing in on $2k - sell headphones and headset as a package. Which would make @UltimateSyn's $1,500 number for the headset, start to "make sense." Or is it cents?

What if it integrates with AppleTV+ and you are placed in the middle of the action along with SpatialAudio.
Front and Center experience for concerts with AppleMusic+, Movies, Fitness and sideloading Adult content. Next up the AppleBodySuit to feel like you are there. First hear, then see, then feel, smell.
Who’s old enough here to remember when the original iPad was rumored to be twice as pricey as its actual price? You want people to gasp at a lower than expected price.
I bought a Mac IIfx for $8k to stay ahead of the curve so $2k is realistic
Well that would depend on what it does, doesn't it? We know absolutely nothing about this product. We pretend to know a lot about it.
If this product allowed me to magically have a virtual Mac display of any size and resolution I want and it was so good that I could use it as a total replacement for desktop monitors.....sure maybe that is worth $2K.
Considering Apple is an antonym for gaming, and VR's only real world commercial application today is gaming, it's hard to imagine that Apple is even working on this product.

It was clashing and looked cheap compared to my Rolex collection. ?
Imagine surfing MR forum all day and night just by navigating with eye tracking and dictating via Siri.
It will also inform you that you need sleep, a health checkup, dehydration, etc while playing content.
Didn’t people say that about iPhone, AW, AirPods and to some degree iPad.
This device could single handed save marriages, by making one’s partner be anything. ?
