> tablets are everywhere

They are now, and that's exactly the point. And people don't look ridiculous now because they became adopted, but even the first versions of mobile phones made people look ridiculous.

Have some perspective, try to think beyond a lapse of more than two years back and forwards.




My 70+ year old aunt and 75year old mom (at the time) were using the very first (heavy and clunky) iPad. It was a device that immediately appealed to certain people for who full on computing was too much, when all they wanted to do was reading newspapers, websites, watching photos.

I cannot see this with a VR headset. It's a very geeky limited market, no matter the price point. But ESPECIALLY at Apple's price point.
