Kettle At WWDC this year, Apple teased what a lot of us were expecting: a virtual reality headset. What was perhaps a bit of a surprise – or perhaps not – was the eye-watering $3,500 price tag, that it looks like Ready Player One cosplay, and it has a two-hour battery hanging off it.

What to make of it all? Is the power pack annoying? What software will run on it? While a lot of cool tech has being packed into the hardware, who are [1]these goggles even for? Has Apple learned from the mistakes of Meta, Magic Leap, Google Glass, and Microsoft HoloLens?

All this and more – including Apple finally [2]breaking free of Intel with its all-Arm-based Macs – is discussed by El Reg 's real-definitely-not-AI vultures below.

As seen in the thumbnail, clockwise from top left, we have on our 15-minute episode today Tobias Mann, Thomas Claburn, host Iain Thomson, and Chris Williams. Check it out and comment away. ®
