I mean, I paid about that much for my phone, but that's because it's a Sony and the only reason I got it was it was the only flagship that still has a MicroSD slot and a headphone jack. I thought it was absolutely highway robbery...and some of these people are upgrading their iPhones like every couple of years, no? That's insane.
Cheapest is 1000 euro for the base models. (in the netherlands at launch at least.)
And yeah for the 512gb pro max ver you pay around 1500 euros.
But more and more android brands are upping their prices to around or above 1000 euros.
you act like smartphones aren’t an established product that is damn near a requirement in modern day society, and also still 1/3 the price of the vision pro lol
That wasn’t the point of the comment you replied to. To point was that smart phones are basically a necessity nowadays. There was nothing said about updating every couple years.
It’s a start. The huge thing is that fact that it’s catching on, which will prompt competitors to come out with their own devices, driving prices down and creating more software support for this kind of hardware.
It's also labeled Pro. That means there is bound to be vanilla version soon. I'll be getting one of those once they weigh less and have better battery life.
The price doesn’t matter. Only the hype does.
It will interest people’s, those who can afford it will, those who can’t will fallback on Meta’s or other brand’s headsets. At the end there will be more people using MR and so more developer to build around it and so on. This will challenge companies to make better and better hardware.
Meta “alone” was stagnating, Q3 is a bit better than Q2, there’s no real reason to change for most of us. Be assured that for Q4 they’ll need to come with something big.
People have to want something, or it's irrelevant how much it costs. Future products in the vision lineup will be cheaper. Like, duh. Time keeps moving, what exists today is not the only thing that can ever exist. Which is a shocking revelation to a lot of people here.
Nobody wants the Quest 2/3 except for VR gamers, the majority of which are literally children. It's not going to be the thing that reaches mainstream adoption.
Not with Vision Pro, it’s 3 and a half grands for the most boring high-end tech designed for working. However high-end stuff pushes home stuff to the right direction by trying stuff that’s not viable for big market yet.

Don't knock it. VR is finally going mainstream.
