We may not know much about what it is or what it ’s dependable for , but it is plainly go to have you wish you had n’t wasted that $ 3,000 on your kids ’ college fund .
The Macalope is , of course , talking about Apple ’s headset , the equipment that will have its grand unveiling at next month ’s World Wide Developers Conference , if literally everyone is to be believed .
“ optic founding father cryptically say Apple headset is ‘ so dear ’ ahead of await WWDC unveil ”
In a inscrutable post on Twitter on Sunday night , [ Palmer ] Luckey merely nip : “ The Apple headset is so good . ”
Did he … deplete one ?
No , no , it seems he ’s speak about the gadget ’s user experience . And if you ca n’t intrust the sort of guy who ’d use a name fromThe Lord of the Ringsforhis dystopian startup sell drones to the armed services … well , that ’s likely a good instinct , really .
Still , he ’s plain got some kind of insider knowledge , possibly having talked to someone with more first - hand experience like one of the initial third - party developers Apple is forge with .
“ Dude , it ’s got the newfangled cantooflers . ”
“ Dude , no way . Next you ’re gon na tell me it has hing - hangblers . ”
“ Dude , it ’s get those , too ! ”
“ DUDE , NO WAY ! ”
Yes , way , my dudes .
IDG
Luckey for sure knows a thing or two about AR / VR headsets , having sold Oculus VR to Facebook back in 2014 . He has since leave the speculation so is free to say whatever he wants about competing products and how delicious they are . Facebook took Oculus and , after year of research and unvoiced workplace , uh , start it to the gunpoint where it might someday have legs . Justnot yet .
LEGS ARE HARD , OK ?
CONFIDENCE IS gamy . repetition : CONFIDENCE IS in high spirits .
Luckey is n’t the only one hype the much - hyped gimmick . Late last month , a quizzer saidusers would be “ blown aside ” by the equipment . And it seem Apple is ready to go , even if it does n’t gestate to sell all that many initially .
“ Apple ’s next large affair is reportedly just weeks away from its debut ”
Having antecedently claim the entry might be labour back , Kuo now says that the headset ’s announcement “ is ‘ highly potential ’ and the party is ‘ well fain ’ for the unveiling . ” And , address of cantooflers and hing - hangblers , the part Apple has had to run along up admit :
Micro OLED display : Sony
duple processors : TSMC
case : Everwin Precision
tv camera module : Cowell
External electric battery pack : Goretek
So it ’s waterproof ? !
Oh , distressing , that ’s Gore - Tex . The Macalope regret the measured fault . As do his referee , no doubt .
At $ 3,000 , peradventure it should be waterproof .
Apple anticipate to sell just one headset per twenty-four hours per retail storage …
Will the employees sing a song when they bring it out to you ? Like ordering a flaming dessert at a promenade - adjacent restaurant mountain chain ?
Oh , you regulate up a headsetTim ’s happy that you didIt costs three thousand dollarsOur managing director ’s name is Syd
That might require some work . Just throw it out there . I was told there are no bad approximation at this phase .
Given the bevy of components in this machine , a high price shred is not that surprising , especially coming from a company that does n’t shy away from eminent cost tags . If you , like the Macalope , are not planning on magically record a young tax square bracket any sentence in the near future , take solace in the fact that one a day per store think Apple is making a little number of these . When monastic order increase , price per unit will go down .
In the meantime , if you know any Palmer Luckeys out there , ensure to encourage them to purchase one . The faster millionaires scoop them up , the truehearted damage will go down , and the earlier we can get one .
