I really hope this thing fails. The whole concept was poorly executed from the price to the operating system. If it was possible to modify the UX like you can with macOS I could see a developer turning it into a gaming device, but as it stands it’s just an iPad you strap to your face. It also only shipped with only an M2 base processor in the M3 generation which is mind boggling to me for a device that everyone wants to use as a gaming device.
Methinks they had a C-suite discussion and decided to put the M2 in because if they added the M3, then the price of the device would cost $5,000 instead of $3,000.
