@manton Manton, I agree that all content can be helpful, but I think certain content, if delivered right, could be "worth it today at this hardware price" to many people. I think real-time/live, spatial sports could be that. Many people readily bought $10,000 HD then 4K now 8K TVs for that. The (unfortunately not real-time) examples Apple shows feel viscerally so general-audience compelling. Court/field-side tickets are $$$ and people buy them. Live sports cable packages sell.
Unfortunately, high-res, real-time streaming may not be generally available yet, and the wrangling over the $ split may take time.
Does anybody know more about this????
@danb @manton
#TV #Technology and people's relative spending... .Think it's well said to begin with.
Not much I can offer on top of that apart from:
The Gartner hype cycle came to mind. Which is well named :)

Especially the "Hype in new media" which aside from legit hardware advancement hype in the media, shows us you can also "sell anything" in the media given the right #psychological presentation with #NFT's / #BlockChain :) These seem like a good example of people "buying into it" and possibly funding near-unuseful crap / non-existent improvements to the next level.
Also hardware like graphics cards that are basically the same board but re-arranged boards and have same (or even less) output are fun to remember now... (remember the box for the #graphics card having lightening and animals being the major qualifier to push your parents that you "need" this card!... lol
And if the box was bigger well it was like buying a bigger fish! 🐟 🐉

#Media I think does that to a decent level that it's like the other arm to the #selling of #technology.
@freeschool @manton While the Hype Cycle may be real and applicable, I think, in this case, it's not about hype that would get people to buy. I'm looking, as a person who owns an Apple #VisionPro for work-related reasons, to react to what I've personally felt using it where it is so much better than what's before, and meaningful in a way certain people will gladly part with that much money. It's not just better: It's over a bar in a way you can feel. And: Where those "certain people" is a large enough absolute number of purchasers and have demonstrated that in the past for similar reasons (better experience when watching live sports).
There are lots of uses and types of content I see and enjoy (since I've already spent the money for the unit and the content is available for free or low cost, like my family and travel photos/panos/videos) that I find compelling to me, but not $4,000+ for most people.
Thanks for the comment!
