I’d love to fiddle with one, but they don’t have very many demo slots. Only 8 an hour at that flagship store.

Also, I don’t have the cash to buy one, so the demo would purely be to address some curiosity. I’ll probably just wait until I can walk in and do a demo in a few months.

I wonder if it's fully locked down like ipad, or more relaxed like a Mac where you have root access and can sideload any app you want. If it's the latter, my interest will be significantly increased.

lol you’re dreaming if you think Apple is going to introduce a new computing platform and not wall its garden off so it can take a cut of all sales. That’s just how it is now, and every year they take a little freedom away from macOS. Mac users haven’t had true root for years.

It'd be funny if the EU forced them to ;)

Very real possibility

I’m mostly just curious about the hardware and UX. Even if it’s not for me, they’ve done a lot of things that other VR / AR rigs will likely adopt.
