Apple headset prediction thread:

1. Price?
2. Battery life?
3. Primary use case they pitch?

Closest answer gets a bespoke NFT from yours truly.

it would be very odd for apple to create a productivity tool that doesn’t advertise working for an entire workday. I bet they include intermediate fast charging or a plugged in mode to keep the listed continuous operational hours high

1. $1998
2. 2.9 hours
3. Infinite monitors, then FaceTime, then Apple TV+, then gaming

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

I got a weird feeling that this is bang on.

1. $2k
2. 3 hours per pack, packs are easily swappable and you can buy extra for $99 each
3. Primary productivity, secondary social, tertiary gaming

And all this without having “eyesight”, can’t wait to be more innovative 🫡

Mostly probably will also release a lite version following the first headset.

1st gen :

1. 3,200$ (USD)
2. 2-3 hours
3. Utility will be geared towards tech enthusiasts as a work from home device . They’ll market it as an everyday use case for productivity.

1. $2799
2. 2 hours
3. Virtual Meetings/Collaboration

1) 2,999
2) 2 hours
3) Infinite screens to replace your home office

heavy prediction mode here, but over time as the devices get slimmer and fade more into the background, this is how they get everyone to become comfortable wearing the glasses out in everyday life.

1. $1999
2. 8 hours
3. Presence: bring digital items into your physical world, and persist them over time. e.g., hang a family photo hanging on your wall, or put a 50inch monitor on your desk that actually plays video. Or let friends jump into your room. And when you add someone as a friend, they see it all too.

1. $1,899
2. 3 Hours
3. Creating/Designing things

1. $1500
2. 8 hours
3. Gaming first, virtual work second.

1. $2,499.99
2. ~2.5 hours
3. Work efficiency, entertainment

I think what you mentioned in the last MOZ, “3D FaceTime”, makes the most sense.

A social use case creates network effects faster than gaming, feels more human and less geeky which is more Apple’s brand.

+ long-distance family may buy more: if 3D FaceTime is real, I’ll buy 1 for my family in Europe + 1 for me

1. $1,999
2. 5 hours
3. FaceTime, Visual Music, Creating things

So many answers with >4 hrs 😳

I doubt that. 

I’d be surprised if we get 2.5hrs with a single batter pack. Two 4K displays and two m2s with tons of cameras constantly monitoring will drain any battery size.

1. $1899
2. 8hr
3. Visualizing models/prototypes of, FaceTime 2.0 (fancy FaceTime), magic school bus type of experience for education 😬

1. $1799 base
2. 6 hours, 80% fast charge in 30 minutes
3. I think a few — education, entertainment, and productivity (less on connection / virtual desk and more exploring 3D models for example)

1. $2,499
2. 4 hours
3. Creativity & Connection – Works with apple ecosystem like Final Cut Pro, Logic, etc, and helps you communicate and connect with your loved ones in an immersive environment

Daimo Pay. Build once, distribute everywhere

I also bet they’ll have a nice solution to the spatial awareness problem—some way to see the actual room you’re in.

I’ve seen people oculusing, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Bad vibes

Apple will fix that

1. $1999
2. Not in keynote
3. Social games and FaceTime. In both cases, the killer feature is that a person’s avatar is only there when they’re present, and you can tell whether they’re looking at you. (Something approaching virtual eye contact.)

1. $1499
2. 4 hours 
3. Gaming & Fitness+
