Been given the green light to order one for work.

Only biting my tongue so I don't order one pointlessly because I want to try one.

No interest whatsoever.
I will get a one‑on‑one demo instore. I want to see a movie and especially spatial video. I took a massive amount of spatial videos on my iPhone, glad I did that as one person in some of the videos passed away last week.
Price is certainly a factor though

Pre-orders opening in 20 minutes. I think the number of long-term reviews (i.e. people who've had it 4months+) basically saying they don't use it anymore will harm sales.

Pre-ordered, curious more than anything. Some of the videos I saw from the US release really intrigued me

Don’t really hear much about this at all.
My hot take is - it’ll be discontinued in a year or so.

I'm not so sure. I think we'll see Apple iterate on this for a couple of versions at least.

It seems like the ultimate dust gatherer. I don't know anyone who's even considered buying it here.
A novelty for a few days, then on the shelf.

Did you get one?

No I cancelled my pre-order once I'd actually read a bit more about use cases and what they actually do/do well. Came to my senses
I got to use it for about 30 mins. It's a fantastic device but the FOV was less than I expected.

Had the in-store demo today. Thoughts are:
- The eye tracking is incredible and finger gestures work really well.
- Image resolution is much better than I expected, as is the refresh rate.
- The live event demos were excellent, can see how that would be a ‘game changer’ in terms of content consumption.
- I think I’d struggle to use it for more than an hour without pretty bad neck pain. It is as heavy as everyone has said it is. To watch a movie I guess reclining in a chair would do the job though.
- I really, really like it but I don’t think I £3500 like it.

What did you think of the FOV? I used the 21W

Mine was 33W - initially I did think it wasn’t amazing, but when viewing content it was actually very good.

It's no more.
