    VR has been a thing for years now and has been getting cheaper over time. I’ve had no interest in using it whatsoever. Clearly the thing that needed to change was for it to get MORE expensive. Thanks Apple! Always giving the customer what they didn’t know they wanted!

      I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that’s infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I’m fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.

      That might not even be possible, but in that case I’m also fine to just do without TBH.

      To be fair to Apple, the AVP is first of it’s kind. Literally nothing else functions the same way it does. But based on its naming, you can bet a lower priced version is already on its way. For regular consumers, that’s the one you should get, not this, especially when 3rd party apps are still being developed.

        Nothing is as shitty as apple did is big understatement
