  1. Better be made in the US for that price

  2. Well, if we couldn’t be more disconnected from reality, it’s about to get worse

  3. Be more out of touch with reality to go into augmented enhanced virtual reality that are life like
    “ I wish life were in 3D”
    – Homer Simpson

  4. yay for road warriors

  5. Imagine watching a concert with these. That could be great 😊

  6. So what about people’s real reality. Where, they will need to leave this fake world to earn money in the real world to pay for the fake world.

    I worded my statement like that on purpose. So we are going to run around with headaches from this crap. Go do something else big tech.

  7. Cheap for first gen tech

  8. In a near future, people will wear this full time and stop talking to each other. 😂

  9. I can get an even better experience for free it’s called reality and dreams don’t need to wear anything that is connected to a computer which is basically useless anyways especially for games based off reality like racing when you could go out in reality and do it so virtual reality in my eyes at least is just something you can use to be more interactive with games, etc and that is basically it doesn’t help you in anyway physically or maybe even mentally so it really is just a reflection that are reality is becoming more infused with technology

  10. I wonder how it stacks up against its competitors? Should interesting.

  11. The “experience is life like”… so is not wearing them.

  12. Never buy the first model of anything.

  13. $3500 to sit around and look like a complete friggen tool…… sign me up

  14. You know it would be nice if this tech was more affordable. What kills the momentum of this type of technology is the price. I wonder if the developers know that. 🤦

  15. Many people get headaches and start suffering from vertigo and eye problems when wearing headsets like this….I don’t know why Apple thinks it will be any different for theirs.

  16. Oh hey look
    The end times

  17. Apple: battery sold separate.

  18. nah bruh nobody ain't gonna buy that at that price, OCULUs FOREVERRRR!!!!😊

  19. It was San Jose at SAP Center not Cupertino. Because I was there…

  20. This makes way more sense for buisness then the metaverse

  21. At that price is D.O.A.

  22. Yeah, another toy for the rich. Just what the world needs.

  23. I just watched an ad, to watch an ad. FML.

  24. Obviously neither these people watched the presentation. Its a console creating an entirely new demand needs. Kinda like when iPhone 1 was born.

  25. PIKACHU!! POKEMON BATTLES!’

  26. So, Apple "retro features", AKa "inventing" things that already existed for years, like cut & paste. AKA copying other people and trying to patent it.

  27. No thanks FruityCo, yer too closed platform and gh4y4me.

  28. Android already gives you vm texts. Interesting

  29. There is no reality, virtual, augmented or actual reality where this price tag isn't bullsh!t😂

  30. $3500?!? Hard pass. I’ll enjoy real life for free

  31. $3,500 just to live your life lol

  32. Selling technology that isn't new for an obsurd price is such an Apple move. Same old apple. People pay for the brand, that's all. Suckers.

  33. That's all? Then I'll take 5 of them. Out of some suburban kid's homes. What? They're not paying black people enough. So excuse me.

  34. I'll wait until it becomes available at discount dollar stores next to all the other" brilliant" xomputers devices.

  35. Is this going to be another Lisa? it was a great computer but it cost so much it didn’t make money. Most people can barely afford 1000 dollars let alone three times that

  36. Lol at the Amazon product bots blowing up the comment section with obviously fake testimonials

  37. the future dinner table just got alot DARKER 😬

  38. Like an episode out of black mirror.

  39. Is it just me or is the term "live voice-mail" an oxymoron? 😂
