Let’s hope they extend iPadOS (whilst not recreating the mistakes of desktop OS’) rather than let it run macOS. Anyone who’s tried to run virtual desktops on an iPad, or tried to use Microsoft Windows with their finger, knows why that’s a terrible idea.

Just thinking out loud here; what would you, or anyone else, think of those virtual desktops being VR desktops. Using your Apple glasses, connected to your iPad, you can easily see as many ‘workspaces’ as you want. Navigating this environment with a mouse is near impossible in this 3-D world. But with your hands being read by the LiDAR on the iPad, you can now completely control the VR world. Sounds like something the M1 was designed to do. 

Originally had a Series 2. Before getting one my wife asked why did I need one and I remember saying I don’t, but it would become one of those things that simply gets integrated into routine and before you know it, it’s something you use all of the time. She replied with, fine. I want one too. Flash forward to the release of the series 7; it carved out a huge space in our lives that we both upgraded from the aluminum to the steel. One of the many things I appreciate about the watch is the ability for me to not have my phone with me at all times. Working out, it’s just my watch and AirPods. One the golf course having a round of party golf, it provides me my yardage, scorecard, ability to play music, and buy rounds off of the drink cart; all while never pulling out my phone. Apple truly did nail the why and how one would use a device on your wrist.

What's interesting to me is where the belief that this unannounced product will somehow cost $3,000.00!! That is a very specific amount for something that can't even be verified to exist! Yikes!  Even Sony's VR2 which getting good reviews and is being considered a pretty solid offering is $549.00.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Apple VR system is stand alone. If it is, then we would need to consider that the PSVR requires a PS5 which also costs 500 dollars. So to do anything with the PSVR 2 requires a 1000 dollar investment. Still a huge leap to 3000, but not as drastic as 500 to 3000.

sorry, to apple 1.2billion is a big fail, and you know it as a fanboy,

I disagree. For starters you’re making an assumption of what YOU deem Apple to think. But that aside, I can see logic in the hypothetical of why Apple chose this route and how this plays out for Apple.
