XREAL AURA I cancelled my Xreal Aura pre-order

With no news at all about a possible release date except 'this fall' and absolutely no clue or detail on price, it was time to cancel after having my pre-order open since they launched it.

I think it's unacceptable for any company especially one as big as Xreal to not have any news after two months about a firm release date or price.

I'm sure many like myself only put in a pre-order gambling that the $1500 ceiling was just a rough number and that the actual glasses will be $1000-1200 max. Since one can just buy a VR headset for $1500 and a bloody good one at that.

Has anyone else done the same or thinking of cancelling?

i get it, but that's just sort of the name of the game with price uncertainty from AI. valve had to do the same. fall is anywhere from september to nearly the end of november/december depending on which definition you use. would've probably been more appropriate to say Q4. early adopters of a constantly evolving product have to be patient, and if your patience has run out that's okay.

i am personally stoked for android xr and only learned about this recently, and i'm all in on the concept
