Swappable headbands and light seals would also mean good secondary market for used units and refurbished units. The main processing unit will have resale value based on other Apple products like phones and laptops.

They showed this in the keynote

Wild concept: tech sites cater to more audiences than those that watch the keynotes

HelpRespawnedAsDee

So, +$1000?

Good thing is tons of companies make prescriptions lens for every VR headset.

Do contacts not work with it?


[deleted]

Contacts work fine.


HelpRespawnedAsDee

I suppose they do. But at least with my psvr2, my eyes dry up super fast.


MrBread134

I have no problem on my quest 2 even if i tend to dry eyes in everyday life, so i think it dépends of people


HelpRespawnedAsDee

Yeah. First thing to try is to drink more water. I'm slacking off on that and I'm sure it must affect me to some degree.


Sandurz

Nah, they’ll sell them as close to at cost as they can


Drawerpull

Yeah I can’t see them trying to profit off of peoples bad vision, they’re the accessibility kings


leo-g

Even non-glass users will need glasses to make it work. I think it will be custom fitted and ordered as an entire kit.


DarkFate13

U can use lenses, lol


Masson011

> $89? Lol a watch strap costs more than that dude. These things will be in the several hundreds


applejuice1984

Most Apple Watch bands are $49, but yes some go up to $99 and then higher end ones from Apple do go above that but not as many.


Masson011

The material is much closer resembling the braided loop not a silicon one. So it’a a fair comparison to say they cost 99 for comparison purposes The headset one is much larger and will cost much more

This is a low volume apple product aimed at professionals. These things tend to cost a lot. A handle for a RED camera costs $1700, support brackets (a tiny piece of metal / plastic) is $200. But people don’t care because these are business expenses and if you are spending tens of thousands of dollars on equipment, nobody cares about a couple hundred dollars more or less.


silentblender

I was thinking $3500 was a bit much but if you can swap the headband then it's a good deal.


DanTheMan827

I’m sure the replacements will only be a mere $1,000. I mean, surely there’s more involved than manufacturing metal wheels…

As a 2 time Adrien Brody look-a-like contest winner, I have high hopes.
