I really hope they won't cut the quality of the screen for the cheaper model. If the experience gets worse people will start having the same issues as the Meta Quest, where text on screens will be hard to read. If things become less fluent users will start to feel dizzy and it will feel less natural to us the device.
I was looking forward to getting one, but the $3,500 price is just way too expensive and if not many people get the device, developers won't care about the device. And that would be really bad for external app support.
Agreed. This is the one suggestion I think the article gets wrong – Apple has established this display resolution as the minimum for an immersive experience, and I don't think they'll go down from here.
What I was surprised to see not considered is materials choice. I think Apple could do plastic for a non-Pro Vision device, to save on weight and cost.
I also think the non-Pro version isn't coming until the second generation, at which point it will likely have most of the features of this Pro version while the Pro gets upgraded.
