    I’m very very excited about AR but I also wonder just what market this is aimed at. Consumers want low prices and simplified technology while professionals might not like Apples vertically integrated approach. Seems like a contradiction.

        Yeah… That’s outside of my discretionary budget for sure.

        Still, I am an AR optimist and I’m still excited to have a flagship “proof of concept” now, showing what hopefully consumer level products would be able to do 5-10 years from now.

        The first 4K TV launched 11 years ago at $20,000. Now you can get a better screen of similar size for $2000 or so.

          A lot of TVs are in the hundreds now I’m pretty sure. The manufacturers are making them “smart” to serve ads and/or sell user data to make their profits.

          I’ll never buy a TV like that personally, but nonetheless. They can be had for cheap in that fashion.
