That doesn't bode well for VR headsets, which also make you look geeky.
- jart 2y agoNot when your VR headset costs as much as a Gucci handbag. The middle class won't want to join a new untested alternate reality if it's full of working class people, and the working class will always want to go where the middle class is at. The only thing to stop them is the price. That's why it costs the same as a piece of designer clothing. Apple has to lock in a critical mass of affluent adopters first, before they can mass monetize the prestige.
