No, see, it’s actually okay because both Mario and Chris Pratt are in fact Product-Americans. You know, safe and easily digestible, packaged in a shiny and appealing way, smooth and without inner turmoil.

I think depending on how much "content" is in the dang thing is whether it’s overpriced or not. If you’re thinking about it like a hotel. Yeah, it’s ridiculously expensive. It’s about as expensive as an all inclusive Five Star luxury resort and I guarantee it’s not going to be as "high end" in terms of accomdations.

But it’s also supposed to be a really immersive "theater experience" as far as I’m aware. I don’t know, personally. Despite the price, it also seems really unique. I’m absolutely waiting for reviews, but it might be worth it for a one-time visit.

I think it’s more unfortunate component placement given features that Apple was trying to ship. It’s obvious they want to get rid of the notch entirely and one of the approaches is through-display cameras. So in doing the chipset and circuit design for this model, they put hardware authentication on a chip attached to the screen believing they might have been able to ship the in-screen camera. That didn’t come together in time. The technician providing analysis in the video hypothesizes just this.

I doubt this was 100% maliciousness. More like abject apathy towards independent repair given all the other considerations they ranked higher.
