    I think people are missing the point that it isn’t an accessory. It’s a stand alone device.

    Sure, it’s an incredibly expensive novelty that doesn’t solve any existing issue that your current devices already do at a fraction of the price point. But it’s still going to sell.

      Are we talking "stand alone" stand alone, as in I can use it literally without anything else? Or is it Apple's peculiar type of "stand alone", where if you don't also have a mac and/or an iphone you effectively can't set it up and use it?

        It’s an apple product, it’s going to be severely limited by their design philosophy one way or the other

        You can use it alone, it has an M2 processor which is the same as the current laptops. Though it looks like it'll work better with a mac.

        you use the ipad as a standalone device, granted it's been a while since i last used an ipad so i dunno if connecting to itunes is still essential for starting it up. this is an ipad but with a VR form factor

      You still can't do anything with good graphics at its native resolution though. You definitely need a computer for anything heavier than that AR bullshit.
