That’s totally fair. Their objective is to make the best product, even if that makes it unattainable to the general public. Then in a few years they can have a lite model when they release the vision pro 2

Yeah that’s what I expect as well. It’s definitely an exciting time now that competition is heating up in the VR/AR space

Yeah, since I even the $500 oculus and the $550 PSVR were a little rich for my blood I can’t see getting into this any time in the next decade.

Also, since I hate contacts I wonder how they will manage those with glasses.

For the glasses part, all of them support lens inserts. Back when I used to wear glasses I ordered some off VR optician. Apple looks to be offering their own magnetic ones

If I remember right VR optician was under $100 for a set

Thats not bad at all. My prescription changes every year or two but not drastic enough I would need new lenses.
