A $2k CAD phone I can justify if it’s going to hold me in good stead over the next 6 years and have another 6 full OS upgrades straight from the manufacturer. My iPhone X held up great for 6 years, and only started struggling in 2023.

A $3,500 USD fashion accessory? What are they smoking, and can I have some?

If it’s anything like my other VR headsets the novelty wears off in 10.. this runs dangerously close to not getting to the bottom of my cupboard with all the other shithouse headsets

And I thought buying an iPhone was crazy...

I wholeheartedly believe that Apple is a marketing company more than a tech company.

Every successful mega corp is a marketing company. Just look at video games where the marketing budget is the same as the development budget.

Its an apple product, I don't feel like wasting money on overpriced closed source garbage
