I did find it a bit funny when they mentioned something along the lines of, "Look how many devices this one device can replace, such as your TV, and monitors, etc," which is true to a point... If you are the only one who actually uses those things. I have a wife and two children, and a nephew who frequently comes over to watch TV. If we all wanted to sit down and watch a Movie together with this experience, I would have to shell out $18k. 🥴
On the other hand, for single folks like me it seems worthwhile. I game on a 4K projector that costs $3000, I also used to have a 49" ultrawide monitor which I sold off recently cause I was using my projector more, so at least for me, Apple's headset could replace a bunch of my costly gadgets - assuming it has video inputs of course (not sure if it does, haven't seen any mentions of it).
