Looks like I'm waiting for the consumer model then. This thing should've been at minimum 512gb especially since it's running an M2 chip. Asking $3500 for 256gb is laughably insulting especially when you can get a Meta Quest headset with 256gb at 1/7 the cost.
Edit: Dislike me all you want but $3500 for 256gb in a "pro" product is asinine, especially when Apple's entering a market that is already niche with much more affordable options. You wanna spend $3500 for that little specs be my guest, but I'm waiting for the consumer model since i know damn well there's gonna be something first gen curse related with this thing that the consumer model will address
