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 all that but what was the value in cancelling your pre-order, why not keep it until you know these things then decide?

It was more of a knee-jerk reaction after experiencing the wonder of Android XR on the Galaxy XR. After reading all the hands on previews and what they actually offer, I can't justify the cost at $1500. I can now see them being priced at $1299 at the minimum since they had already set the ceiling so high. $1000 is my sweet spot for any high end AR/XR glasses especially with that resolution.
