I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

How many movies do you actually need to store on the device itself? Apple has been all in on streaming stuff so you'd only ever need to actually download stuff when you're planning on going offline.

That said for it's price that's hilariously small storage, but simultaneously peak Apple.

How much bandwidth do planes have?

Does it matter? Download a few movies for an 8 hour flight. Not a big deal on any device.

Also I still think this product is horrendously overpriced but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

A full-Bitrate HDR 4k feature film is more than 50GB. These use up space real fast.

And, you'll want it full quality if you are gonna be watching in 3D. Since compression messes with the depth in 3D movies by not compressing the left eye and right eye view both the same as they should be to look right. It doesn't know or take into account what the other eye is currently supposed to see. It treats both sides as individual flat pictures, and only makes sure they make sense with the frame before and after.

Until someone makes a whole new compression algorithm with 3D in mind, it'll dramatically lower the quality of the depth compared to how much it lowers the quality of the video.

In my experience, it's a negative number.
