While the rumors are rumors, nobody is predicting this thing to be affordable even by Apple standards. Current guestimates are $2-3K. Seemingly their initial customer will be businesses (similar to Microsoft's HoloLens), and their "killer feature" will be virtual meetings (similar to Meta). It is expected to use hand/gesture tracking.      
I will add this though: I've used VR headsets extensively, including stand-alone/battery ones. When I read that they're moving the batteries and their weight off of your head and onto your waist my first thought was "about fucking time." The [high] weight of VR headsets is a major literal pain-point when you go from using them for a few minutes to all day. I literally had to take days off just to recover. >

People are loathe to wear something on their head.
Let alone a damn battery bum bag with wires going from it as well. >

If it is expensive enough it will be a fashion state that tons of people want. >

I see two problems.  Either its a google glasses or a VR headset size device.  We need in between, like glasses with augmented phone/watch integration.  But just my opinion.
Hard to say where the device lands but exciting >

people have quit buying cell phones every year (mostly because they are too expensive) people aren't buying and building computers every year(again 1200 for a video card is too expensive), I am not sure trying to push new tech that people aren't asking for is going to save the tech industry.
