Verdict
It's too early to tell since it's not out in public yet, but judging from people who had a preview of it:
It's price is hefty, but it's one of a kind of device. Despite efforts from others, Apple is above from the competition
Just talking about the specs, it is an order of magnitude more powerful than what the competitors offers. Others offer less than 2K for each eye, Apple offers more than 4K for each eye.
Apple is leveraging on the strength of its ecosystem to make the device as successful as possible
