They don't understand the most basic of economics. If the demand is low and the supply is high, then the price is too high.

Honestly if that thing wasn't locked in the apple universe it could have sold. It is that much better than meta-quest 3. I'm a believer it it's possible usecases.. if it was open.

I think the increased productivity when used right with all the tooling an open environment could have made for it could be worth $3500. But spending $3500 to only be able to do what apple will let me will never make sense.

Plus it's shocking the lack of second hand market. I would have picked one up if I had found a good deal on craigslist that wasn't a scam.

People are saying it was a gimmick. What that hardware was capable of is no gimmick. But apple only knows normie mass-appeal or what they think has mass-appeal. So they took serious hardware and made it a gimmick.

I want to be able to code anything on it and build out with others custom IDEs to fully leverage it. They want to show me home movies.

No one wants a $3.5k gimmick? No shit
