I’m predicting that the Apple headset will only work with Apple devices, requiring a MacBook or whatever.

If you can’t play Steam games on them, then they’ll be a consumer product dud.

If they don’t work with CAD software that runs on Windows or Linux PCs, then the commercial applicability will be also limited.

It's supposed to be a standalone device. At the rumoured price of point of $1500 minimum, it would be suicidal to make it reliant on an iPhone (or any phone really).

Eh, I can see it being tied to the iPhone the same way the Apple Watch is. Maybe it will work without it, but I doubt it will be standalone as in you don’t need an iPhone to set it up. I hope I’m wrong.

If the headset can do any of that, it would be horribly dated on release. I’m hoping it’s a lot more or something very different from that.
