Apple's new VR headset costs $5,000. Is it worth the cost?

[@LittleMissStamper]

It's never going to be "the next big thing" because Apple doesn't know how to make anything that's reasonably affordable. If I can but a used CAR for that price.....then it's too expensive

[@MsHojat]

Not only that, but it doesn't have much apps/games for it which is perhaps the worst part, and it's also way too heavy and uncomfortable (3x the weight of Quest 3)

I love how big companies love to screw over Canadian shoppers! $3,499 USD = $4,775 CAD, as of right now. Oh, you're Canadian, well then we want $5,000! Screw you, Apple!

Slumping sales would imply it actually sold. lol

[@B.D.F.]

It’s starting sales in Canada today and it’s already being described as recovering from a slump. For some reason, not being available is considered “a slump in sales”?

[@SummerSausage1]

@@B.D.F. no one is describing this as a "recovery from a slump." literally no one.

[@B.D.F.]

@@SummerSausage1They literally say it 5 seconds into the video. Clearly you didn’t pay attention.

Quest 3 for the win

[@user-cv7pt7ou7b]

Have Trudeau, Freeland, and Liberal voters been wearing these the past few years?

[@Mariusz803]

Have you seen the cost of living in Canada? No this will not help the sales slump. Everything from groceries to homes is insane

$70

Apple will be lucky if it sell a few dozens in Canada; insane prices, no killer applications..

[@dembipor]

They may sell a few thousands for one year. 😅 VRs are bought mostly by gamers and Apple is quite behind in this area.

[@HeyLookPropane]

Hell no!

[@MrCoggibird]

.....and Australia.....

[@stblackpanter02]

Ofcourse not 👎👎👎

[@B.D.F.]

This is one of the most bizarre news reports I’ve seen in a while, but for some reason isn’t outside the ordinary when it comes to reporting on Apple: Sales in Canada START today and it’s already being described as “recovering from a slump”. For some reason, “not available” is considered “a slump in sales” to Canadian news stations? It’s going from 0 sales to more than 0 sales, I’d say that’s growth.

Google no doubt already working on (a) ads ridiculing the headset and (b) its own copycat version.

Google cardboard came out in like 2012
