    Not really. Meta has been dominating the market lately, it seems like people really only care about the price. And with the quality of the Quest 3, AVP was doomed from the start.

      Who cares about the market? Nobody who matters wants to buy hardware that’s locked to a walled garden that will inevitably be rendered useless as soon as it stops being profitable.

        This post is inherently about the market and Apple’s failed attempt at making a viable product. Which apple no doubt thought they could steal market share from Meta in the VR/AR space. Different people want different headsets and most people want the cheapest plug and play option. That’s why the #2 headsets are strictly PC periferals.

        That’s been Apple’s very successful business model since the beginning. That ain’t it.

            Clearly the business model alone isn’t enough

            Of course not but that’s what you pointed at

              Indeed, and yet for some reason you’re still talking about the business model and not the obviously-deficient hardware and software it mistakenly assumed would be profitable.

                  Bruh, all I said was that I’m not in the target audience and that I don’t respect the preferences of those who are…

                  You brought up the business model as if to suggest that my lack of interest in its’ profitability was some kind of moral or intellectual failure.

                    That’s not even remotely what you said. If you need a reminder, here’s what you said:
