Everyone keeps saying these are development kits but quite frankly that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. For a machine that’s supposedly a developer kit it seems to be missing a few key things including:
Developer tools
Any way to directly interface with the device such as a UART port or a USB C port capable of debugging
Proper dev mode
Proper APIs for development
Physical controllers (it doesn’t make sense to sell devs on a device without tactile feedback)
If this was acturally a dev kit it probrally would also be a completely tethered headset without a built in processor (maybe their VR coprocessor for image processing)
That’s your definition of a developer kit. For Apple, it’s a device that allows developers to test their Augmented Reality apps in the Apple ecosystem. They market it for people because it helps pay for R&D, but this is obviously not the product they want to sell.

That would make sense if they didnt then make another identical one
