Scrub to the 1:05 mark. 
If that holds true, then $1,499 is probably the price of this new thingie. Nobody's going spend $3,000 on something that isn't a full-blown Mac. And if that's what it's introduced at, then just sit and chill for 3-4 months, when Apple will whack that down to something a little easier to swallow. |
See, but when Steve introduced the iPad at $499, there was no comparable product. Windows convertible laptops existed, but were a lot more money and also kind of garbage. Android tablets didn't exist yet, I think. (I think the Xoom launched about a year later?)
With VR headsets, Oculus, Vive, PlayStation VR, and others are already around. And they all cost… less.
