I share some of your skepticism, but I do indeed watch movies in my VR headset (while running on my elliptical trainer).

I use the Meta Quest Pro right now, so it's not plugged into anything, but I would not be averse to plugging it into some phone-sized battery unit in my pocket or clipped to my belt or something.

And I definitely, desperately, do also want to do my software engineering job in VR (with many large displays or floating windows) and not my laptop. But the question is, will those of us who see this future coming and are waiting impatiently for it want to do it with this headset?

The Meta Quest Pro is pretty amazing in its own right (and pretty expensive, although not Apple expensive) but it nevertheless just isn't there yet.

It reminds me of using Linux for desktop computing in 1999. You can see it will be great one day, but it's definitely not great yet.

I feel like Apple could maybe build that if they wanted to... but do they?
