Poll: Apple VR is coming, Poll to understand market

1 points by anonymouse008 ↗ HN
With VR coming Monday and many people equating it to the Apple Watch in terms of potential success, I wanted to see how people felt about a few products that arguably also followed a 'slow start.'

My curiosity wants to explore if Watch-lovers are distinctly separated from Other-lovers, if Watch customers have a strong overlap with any specific cohort, and most importantly, if this decision is hard for any of us to make.

Which product is more valuable to you:

I guess the AppleTV. It's cheap, and it doesn't require me to use the ecosystem to get anything out of it.

The Homepod is getting cheaper but still feels redundant for most households. Airpods... are expensive plastic earbuds. Maybe the most profitable option, but the least valuable to me.

The Apple Watch is weird. It's definitely got a pricing issue (somewhat mitigated by older models), but the larger issue I encounter is that nobody really wants to wear them. The only person I've ever known to consistently wear an Apple Watch was my ex-boyfriend, who took it off and left it on the counter when he got home every day. It's value is middling for others but low to me.
