I will admit I was curious. I am not an Apple fanboy; quite the opposite. But if it will jailbroken the same way phones were, there is a potential there. Naturally, I would assume developers will be able do whatever they want anyway.

This is the first device from Apple that.. I might consider buying if it looks like something I could use. And that is despite the crazy price.



I think as a VR headset alone it's worth $1.5k due to the features it has (4k+ OLED per eye, inside-out tracking, hand tracking, etc.), so I guess the other $2k is half due to this thing being a whole iPhone on your face (basically) and then some "Apple Product Premium" for the other half, since Apple makes nice products that work well for the most part. I see it as expensive, but well worth it, assuming you could use this with regular PCVR titles, like having SteamVR or OpenXR support. If it doesn't have support for PCVR, then it's a tough sell for me, personally.
