      Maybe for you, but this’ll just boost this device’s image of ‘exclusivity’. Plus, it helps that only 400k or so of these devices will ship in 2024.

    Makes sense, if you spend that much money you want to have it perfectly fit, kinda like having it tailor made.

    I’m really wondering how the prescription lens part will work. At WWDC, they custom made lenses based on your glasses prescription, but the cost of them doing that for anyone who makes an appointment seems excessive.

      I’d be amazed if they didn’t ship the store units with a kit of common lenses for people to try it with. Even if it’s a 1/2 point away from your actual prescription it would be close enough, and they’d just talk about the unit you buy getting perfect lenses.

    Most likely, the schedule will not be that crowded, taking into account the price tag. However, maybe I am wrong, as I am looking at it from my country’s perspective, where the price is four times the average salary. (Yes, I know it will only be sold in the US at first.)

      While it’s expensive, each store in any metropolitan area will be really busy because of this. Lots of expendable income in the 1%.

        Uhh, yeah, pretty sure most people I know who want one of these are in the median wage class. But yeah! 1%! Buzzwords
