    The photo of the woman wearing VR goggles with a shit-eating grin on her face while supposedly having a conversation with somebody really speaks volumes about how Apple envisions us to interact with one another in 2024. Good grief, I abhor absolutely everything about this.

    I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes

    Consumer VR is over, it didn’t work. nobody really wants it, at any price. Wtf was Apple thinking? This should have been scrapped and left for dead. Good money after bad.

    I have put this on the internet so it can age like fine milk if this thing manages to find an enthusiastic audience. I feel pretty good about my odds here though.

    The tech and price still aren’t there yet. Until these can fit in your pocket or cost a weeks salary for your average person, it’s just a luxury toy very few will ever use.
