From it's issues I bet you it's infighting from a group trying to kill the vision pro from apple.
I remember thinking the original iPhone was hugely overpriced, too.
Huge technical leap, but to where? I don’t think Apple has figured that part out.
We’ll see what Gen 2 brings, but if they don’t have a lot more content and apps at launch it’s going to be a hard sell at any price
It's over speced with hardware as it won't be mass sold for a few more years at which point the price for the components will have naturally dropped allowing selling it for a more "reasonable" price. This is apple so it still won't be cheap.
It's made with metal to get the brand of being the "best" build, but watch them drop it on future units (while folks still keep thinking of it as best in build)
