All I want is a ProMotion display, 120hz PLEASE, my money will just fly out my wallet like magic! I'll even take a 24" iMac OK... of course a 27" is better. I think it's easy money Apple! I can't tell you how many people would throw down good money for a 27" ProMotion display either iMac or a new Studio Display. I'll drop 2k on a 27" ProMotion display in an Apple Watch heartbeat!

What to Expect From WWDC 2023: AR/VR Headset, 15-Inch MacBook Air, Mac Studio, iOS 17, xrOS, macOS 14 and More

In contrast to the usual negativity on here I’m quite looking forward to WWDC this year. Interested to see the headset and always like seeing the software updates.
The most exciting thing about the VR headset announcement will be never having to see that scuba-mask-with-Apple-Watch-sport-band render ever again.
Excited to see new Macs 
. I know it's been talked to death already but I really want the M series of Apple Silicon to be for 'Mobile' and for there to be a new D for 'Desktop' processor, or similar, announced for the Mac Pro/iMac Pro. Something that keeps Pros happy (1TB+ RAM) and give people like me hope to be able to own one in the future... No chance I know but it's nice to dream

Be careful what you wish for. I suspect the scuba mask thing will look great in comparison to whatever will be presented.
I wasn’t missing the point. The ‘point’ was quite irrelevant in comparison to the gender stereotypes been used in the post. Buy an Apple Watch if you like one. Don’t if you don’t like it. But saying “For men watches are one of the few items of jewelry that they can wear” is just antiquated and even discriminatory.
I am surprised there is no rumors about Metal 4. I am sure Apple is working on it continuously. And it will have impact on headset for sure.
You’re forgetting the more affordable “sport” version rumors! Could recycle!
One in thirty-seven Americans live in NYC. Anyone who follows finance or media (those little things) is looking towards NYC a few times a day. New York is a massive, globally trend-setting market. The entire business model of haute couture is basically to be successful in NYC with insanely expensive (and sometimes ridiculous) outfits that only a handful of people wear, and let the buzz drive slightly more rational sales elsewhere. Hell, just think of the cronut. The lines forming to get those things were making international news before one went uneaten long enough to leave Manhattan. You can pick at the chip on your shoulder all you want, but it's laughable to say that a product that is only popular in NYC is a flop.
Throw in the part where the OP said, "if you go to a place like NYC..." and was quickly followed up with confirmation from Tokyo, it would seem the original point never was about "only" seeing a product in one city, but actually pointing out that a luxury item doing well in mega-cities is not just a relative success, but maybe the exact intention of a company notorious for targeting the high-end market.
I hope they do this soon too but I'm not holding my breath. Expect it to be $2500 or more to start, though.
You say it's "antiquated" but it's totally relevant to the vast majority of men.
Really?

This iPhone has gotten more expensive over time. Of course the features/hardware have improved, so you can't compare a first gen iPhone to a current one, but the pricing trajectory is obvious. The iPhone SE today starts around the same price as the original iPhone.
Again, Apple does not release a new product and then dramatically drop the price. Never happens.

As I've said multiple times, I don't deny that pricing changes over time. This is to be expected. I'm simply pushing back on the idea that there's a "cheap" version of the headset "coming soon". That's never been Apple's strategy. They release a product and set a price point that endures for several generations usually.
As component prices come down, manufacturing gets dialed in, etc., prices change. This happens over many years. I also don't think the Apple TV is the best comparison either. Apple TV uses older hardware so there's more opportunity to bring the price down.
Definitely. VR will be the next failure. I’ve already predicted it. Apple will say they’re very pleased with the tiny amount of sales.
Could they be MORE tone deaf? Bob Iger? Wow.
This thing looks exactly like I thought it would. An isolating, giant chunk of plastic that makes you look like a pathetic dork and has no genuine killer app.
Apple fail.
They showed Lightroom. Clearly they thought about this! 😂
Well, downside is they didn't announce new AirPod Max.. upside is that I can order the deal on Amazon and have them tomorrow nowBeen feeling a hankering for Airpods Max but there were earlier rumours that they might get a refresh.. also got my hopes up that not many places have much stock which might indicate a new version. Fingers crossed for the Keynote
A pricey headset even thought it might be the future would have to be way more than this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse#/media/File:SRI_Computer_Mouse.jpg
As expected the real thing looks a lot like a skcuba-mask-with-apple-watch-sport. In fact it is far uglier than the mockups. Am I surprised? Nope
And they arrived already 5E133 firmware on them and the sound is really a step up from my Pros which will be for running only now, should have got some ages ago!Well, downside is they didn't announce new AirPod Max.. upside is that I can order the deal on Amazon and have them tomorrow now
