Considering buying one and never opening it and selling it 15 years later. Seems like a risky thing to do. Does the month of the production date matter? Will it ever become collectible?

If they become a big deal with multiple versions over the years then absolutely it will. If it's a flash in the pan then it will struggle to keep it's retail price

Seems like the effort and relative investment to reward would be pretty poor.

Even failures can become collectibles but I am guessing it has to be a huge one for it to matter. I hate apple and think this tech is dystopian af but recently heard 1st gen sealed iphone sold for $190k

Maybe, but you would be dealing with battery degradation and dysfunctional software if you tried to buy and hold. Modern electronics aren't inert and often are something that you don't really fully own because of the eternal updates and software-as-a-service shit.

I really do not understand the collector mindset but why would that fucking matter if it is never going to be opened? I do not think I am going to buy one since phones are dystopian enough. If I see one of this fuckers pointing its cameras at me I’m going to smash it.

It's not like the first iphone which was actually revolutionary new technology, we've had hundreds of VR headsets for over 10 years now, the apple version is not anything new. No one will look back 15 years from now and remember the apple vr in a sea of oculus and htc headsets.

youd be better flipping immediately on international eBay to non-Burger appleholes, who cant buy this trash yet. Upside is maybe $1k over retail. Downside is, well, eBay, fees, idiots, customs, opened (and now unusable) returns, yaddayadda. If you were selling 5-10 or so and could deliver, to notUS, you gold. Otherwise, I can think of better ways to watch $3.5k rapidly depreciating.

Itoddlers will. Remember when they were finally able to open webms and tried to act superior until they were reminded we've been able to do this for years and they are niggercattle? It's like that but VR headsets. Some soi faced retard will collect gen 1 apple products like funko pops.

The main purpose of virtual reality goggles is intact Augmented reality. The Vision Pros do the best job at that right now. In 50 years mechanics are gonna use this shit to diagnose vehicles or doctors performing intensive surgeries and would need ChatGPT describing the best scenario possible.

The purpose of that is not to play video games and faggots on 4chan need to realize that.

Even if it becomes a "collectable" that's at least 2 decades away. There will be multiple price drops before that. $3k in crypto is a better buy if you're going to hodl anything for 15-20 years.

Historically commercial failures are even more collectible than popular stuff if they have an interesting design.

Recentism bias. Crypto had 15 years to pop out anything useful and it's still nothing but scammy shit and an online casino. There's nothing in crypto except Bitcoin I'd consider keeping for over a year in this market. The rest is pure gambling. And honestly, the odds are better buying OTM calls on tech stocks if you're going to gamble.

I'm no fan of apple, but if their headset launches vr into the mainstream then it's actually quite similar to the iphone. Iphone just had nice hardware and made people want to buy a smartphone, and like most apple products they aren't revolutionary.
I mean look at how stupid and fudded the ipad launch was, and yet that propelled tablets into mainstream use.
