If anyone can overcome these obstacles, it’s Apple.

That second generation model is expected to cost hundreds of dollars less than the first one. It’s expected to be released in 2025.

Won’t have me complaining, there’s no way I’m willing/able to pay $3500 for a device like this, but a smaller supply due to manufacturing during the first year or two will still have the same effect of establishing a market and ironing out the kinks before its more mainstream.

This was totally expected, given the design and par for the course for a first generation product. The yield should increase as the design is refined over several iterations.
