Valve today finally announced the price of their new VR kit the Steam Frame with SteamOS Linux, and it's actually not as bad as I expected.

    A foldable Iphones or two of these? I’m taking neither but if I had to choose I’d never take the first option.

        You could also buy a phone that’s one third of the price and has about the same specs as the expensive one. That isn’t really true in the VR market

            I do less now with phones or at least expect less, since I don’t do gaming on them. Just basic messaging, emails, and basic apps.

            Its one of the devices where specs have mattered less and less where before upgrades were desired because just running the OS felt sluggish.

                If all someone is doing for instance on a mac is browsing the web and emails and some light program use they aren’t going to notice the difference going from a m1 mac to a m4 mac.

                Same with phones. These days unless somone is using resource hungry applications only noticeable area is battery, and its usually battery life that pushes people to upgrade these days.

                Phones aren’t exactly consoles either pointing to how amazing the graphics are compared to the past gen. People just use the same apps like tiktok or whatever on whatever phone they picked up and experience is pretty much the same. Phones aren’t that novel anymore.

            Phones havent really evolved in the last few years, they at most got minor increments in specs. Get last years flagship for half price or this years “midrange” series for 1/3 and the only thing that might be worse is the camera.
