Reply to comment by Jamie00003 in Report Reveals Wave of New Features for Apple's Mixed-Reality Headset by DarthBuzzard

Because they can't get user feedback, have a developer ecosystem, and see how their tech performs out in the wild (so they can refine it more accurately) if it's just kept in their labs.

They'd also have to wait 10-15 years. That's a lot of time to wait.

Still at that price, it’s a non starter imo. Even the Apple Watch shipped with cheaper models and didn’t get it right the first time, but that’s a big investment that very few people care about

It's just how VR/AR goes. The tech is much more cutting edge/expensive than smartwatches/smartphones were at their hardest.

Eventually, we'll see far better products at 10% of the price, but it has to start somewhere.
