it's ridiculous that this is even a question - it's a hype-expensive devkit that will have a microscopic install base. Watching seething fanboys raging about it is hilarious.

There's thousands of dollars in other fees (gotta have apple silicon to develop for the thing so you really can't cheap out on entry level storage and ram, that's gonna hurt 1500-3000 easy), $100-250 in dev registration, apple care to reduce the inevitable broken shit (trust me on this devs, we broke vr prototypes all the time - and this thing is made of glass!) - that's another $499 for two years.

Also, you got the resources for that device and the above costs, HOLY FUCK ARE YOU GONNA WATCH NETFLIX ON THE DAMNED THING?

no you're gonna develop something to hopefully pay for all those fucking costs. get ready for a shit ton of fruit ninjas.
