I get the impression this model is intended to introduce the product line to the market and give developers something to build on while Apple fine-tunes the hardware. The thing is way overpriced for the average consumer but the tech inside it is wild. I expect we'll see more consumer-friendly models in 2024-2025.
It's shipping in 2024, surely they won't release a new model in the same year.
It's supposed to ship Q1 2024 according to the keynote. I wouldn't be surprised if a cheaper model becomes available around Christmas 2024
I think this is long game material. And we won’t see a “consumer” version for at least two more years. Maybe Christmas 2025, but I feel like that’s super optimistic.

This is exactly what I think is going on as well.
