It seems to be a tough time to sell high-end headsets

There have already been some signs that high-end VR isn’t taking, especially Meta’s decision tojust over four months after the product first launched. But given that Apple’s headset is rumored to cost around $3,000 — double the Quest Pro’s starting price — the iPhone maker could have a steep road ahead as it tries to get traction for its headset., which could be part of the reason it might cost so much.

It will reportedly have advanced hand tracking, won’t require a controller, and can apparently recreate somebody else’s full body in VR in one-on-one FaceTime calls. But it will also apparently rely on an external battery pack for power, which, to me, seems like it won’t totally track with Apple’s usual streamlined aesthetic.
