It's Apple. I expected nothing less than the most ridiculously priced products to be produced by them. So the figure is eye watering but expected. If these sellout, as some predict, it proves unequivocally that Apple fanboys are the most rabid idiots in existence.

Honestly, I don't even need half of the things that it does to justify the price, for me - just give me a dual 4k, 100 hz displays and a display port connector and I'll gladly shell out 3k to play vr video games on it.

Technology used to be more about solving a problem or making something difficult easier. This thing has no real use beyond "neat". But that Apple logo holds some very powerful magic for certain people.

This is dead tech, they're only pushing it because it is 10 years of billions in R&D and a lot of egos involved

can I put expensive wheels on it?
I reckon this is a proof of concept model. It doesn’t yet have the onboard oomph to do graphics and games yet, so they’re positioning it as a spatial display.
This will probably be more limited than the v1 iPad, definitely for early adopters.
