My biggest question with this: Can I connect this to another person in the room with me so we can watch the same movie at the same time? It seems great if you are a rich single person.

The first iPhone was like $500 though, not $3500.
Sales of the iPhone were relatively small the first couple years. I would imagine a lot of those early adopters were coming from Palm or Blackberry and were already used to spending 300-400 on a phone.Yep, it was $599 which was way more than the $50-150 that people were used to shelling out for new phones at the time.
You can make argument essentially about any product (cars, computers, TVs ect). This wont be a product for all but there are people that will have no issue shelling out this type of money for this. There are plenty of 4k LED TV's for 400-800 but people will still spend 3-4k for an OLED and to my knowledge these are not subsidized products.Sales of the iPhone were relatively small the first couple years.

And smart phones have been heavily subsidized by the carriers for years. Very few buyers are walking in to a store and paying $1k+ for the latest flagship phones.
I don't see who would step in here and subsidize headsets, so they are just going to need to work on brining the cost down over the years to grow the market.
That was my thoughts, too. I remember when someone i knew had an iPhone the first few weeks....just couldn't wrap my head around it at first because it was so different than a regular phone...and no buttons....now SOOOO many things are touch screen based.The tech is the amazing part of this, I think the use cases will grow as they build it out.
Since you obviously don’t like Apple, no need to click the thread. What can I do to get on your ignore list?Did I hear right, 2 hour battery life? Sounds just like an iphone.
These things don’t tend to work with prescription glasses either, which is a bummer. I never could get contacts to work with my astigmatism.Having access to the real world through it (AR) might have some benefit for those who get motion sickness with VR type setups. That’s my hope.
I did see you can get lenses put in that fit your prescription, curious how expensive that will be but not having to wear glasses behind them would be awesome.These things don’t tend to work with prescription glasses either, which is a bummer. I never could get contacts to work with my astigmatism.
Probably expensive, but that is the price for the form factor I suppose. I know some prescriptions won’t be supported, wonder which ones that is.
