So, if the headset appears, surely it will not be intended for sale to the public, but rather a developer model … hence the higher price etc. I think this underlies the price confusion: Yes, the developer edition will be $1-2K, but the public release model a year or so later will be much more affordable, and there will then be a range of 3rd party Apps to make it a more compelling product. 

Since when has Apple done that? Apple will set the price at a profitable price and let the buying commence, the key for its success will be the same as everything else Apple has released in the last 25 years, the software and the hardware must be integrated in a way, that makes people want to use it, and say here take my money.

PS if you own Apple shares keep them, if you don’t, you may want to buy a few before the end of the week, of course, there are no guarantees of anything.

Also Apple could have made a cheaper iPhone in the beginning but they used gorilla glass in the design of the iPhone, that might be another reason why the price will be the price, but with Tim Cook, who knows?

Another rumor about a meaningless feature. Surprise, surprise.

Due to the recent mendacities of the establishment I will never buy one of these. I have removed wifi from my home and my kids are watching DVDs. I am strongly considering going back to a flip phone as well after having an iphone since the 3g.

Sounds like an ill-timed, but productive visit. Certain elements in the Legislature and right wing media are sure to make hay out of it. But if you ask me, good business ties with China are super important, even in the face of recent geopolitical events. China will to be less inclined to damage their best customer.

Lol. Do you think Russia is less inclined to damage us after we
— gave them Ukraine’s nukes
— gave them the USSR spot on the security council
— shut down our own rocket engine manufacturing and made our rockets dependent on their engines
— made them key partners in the ISS
— let them genocide Chechnya
— let them conquer Georgia and Moldova and Crimea
— gave them Big Macs and iPhones

Of course not. Dictators can’t stop themselves from attacking us. We need to be ready. Apple is making us dependent rather than ready. 

Name 1 dictator who attacked you.

Just because something hadn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t. The lessons of history are meant to be learned from. 

A popular reminder:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

If we don’t stand up now, there may not be a chance later. 

So you want to strike first because something might happen? And you wonder would the aggressive war driven nation is. 

Way to make stuff up and put words in others mouths. 

No one said what you are saying. 

A superior military is necessary to deter evil, help others without depleting the homeland guard and win wars of necessary. 

Awareness, vigilance, and strength are items constantly in need of attention and growth 

pretending the stuff that’s happening around you isn’t happening is the quickest way to go downhill.
