I happily shelled out $600 for the first iPhone. But $3,500? For a V1 product that will get way better (and cheaper) in the next few years?

Cheaper? When has the next gen Apple product ever become cheaper?

This is Apple Vision Pro so supposedly there's going to be a non-pro version coming aswell. Would be odd if that wasn't cheaper.

Apple will certainly have cheaper VR headsets coming. It's just that they'll likely also retain the expensive "Pro" line as well.

It's all on software, if the software gets better than it will do quite well but right now the software isn't good enough to justify the hardware price. If they don't improve that quickly it's going to die on the vine.

Well the iPhone se is cheaper than $600 today and that's even with inflation.

scale. they could only make 200,000 or so of these this batch because of Sony's displays. When they can make tens of millions of them, the incredible fixed costs dither away. the first one costs billions. the billionth one costs

even apple isn't usually 600% as expensive as its competition.
