4000€, mainstream. Who writes this kind of crap?
Narrator: No. No, it won’t.
No. Apple has never determined what is mainstream. At most they’ve been slightly mainstream adjacent a few times.
While it’s been a while since I’ve been to the US, it is my understanding that Apple hardware is mainstream there.
They are definitely not “mainstream” on the global scale, their products are way too expensive for that.
They’re expensive for the US too. The reason so many people can afford iPhones is thanks to carrier subsidies.
That’s a good point. When I lived in North America, I always bought my own devices (the contract terms did not work for me), most people did get their smartphones via carrier.
I doubt VR will hit the average Joe mainstream anytime soon. It could hit the gaming mainstream when omni-directional treadmills drop in price. If your gaming rig + VR headset + omni-directional treadmill drop to affordable levels and games are developed to use them, it might really kick off.
A 4k€ VR headset ain’t gonna do shit.
Not everyone has space for an omni-directional treadmill though. If you have a dedicated “gaming cave”, then it could be a good investment if there is enough support from VR games.
