Truly mind blowing they didn’t address the weight issues. The first one was incredible to use for about 3 minutes, then you realize you have a whole ass brick on your face. It needs a smaller form factor. The only way it will find some general use age is to take out all the extras like the front facing “eyes” screen, make it weigh less, make it cost half as much, and make some controllers for it so you don’t have to do the stupid finger gestures.
It’s probably safe to assume that Apple doesn’t even like this product and is just selling it to fund the R&D for whatever it is that they actually want to make. Like you said, it’s a brick on your face, not exactly Apple’s way of doing things.
