>rojecting 1 MM units sold in the first year at $3k a pop? Apple had a strong record of defying expectations but this estimate seems absolutely ludicrous

Unless it is not. Heard many similar when they release airpods and watch. I am not a fan , but don't underestimate Apple.

3x the price of a flagship iPhone for a headset most people will use 1% the amount they use their phone, if that? How many of those people do you think there are?

Most won't even spend $400 on a watch they would wear every day. Even among fanboys, even with the Apple marketing machine standing behind this, the demand for a "mixed-reality" headset is not there at $3k
