Look I'm not saying it's going to be a failure of a product

Just that it's not going to do anything VR isn't already doing at less than 1/10 the price point

So exactly like iPhones, it will be a wild success.

IPhone gave us a seamless web experience, a tailor made UI and a nifty touch keyboard. Maybe visual voicemail, too.

Seriously. Being able to just load an actual web site instead of working your way through a hosed up WAP portal was a loving revelation. And I dont even like the iPhone all that much.

Lol at iphone bashing. Iphone revolutionized the internet and technology to say nothing of cellular phones... Then andropid farted out a bunch of me too failphones. Crapple is going to vitalize the virtual reality space and make it actually viable and more than a gimmick. You can and should bet money on that OP. Ya'll sound like folks heralding the fall of crapple when they refused to let Flash work on crapple devices.... just SMH

Every single phone is an inferior laptop, but non-Apple phones have the benefit of costing less than a laptop.

e: I don't even hate all apple products the Apple Pencil owns and is the best stylus I've used I draw on my iPad every day because it's a better drawing tablet than purpose-built drawing tablets like cintiqs

It honestly absolutely baffles my mind that someone could own an ipad, realize how great it is, and not realize that they are missing out on the epic scalability and beauty of the remainder of the apple ecosystem.

Could it be that iPhone was notoriously locked and chained to ATT? And not available to other manufacturers like Sybian was?

The best phone was the rotary phone with the separate hearing piece because apparently it's an impossible puzzle to us millennials and when you use it you can talk into it like an old timey reporter.
