    When iPhone was released App Store didn’t even exist. A smartphone without apps is just a phone and VR glasses without apps are just a 360 degree monitor you wear on your face. I think Apple’s reasoning here is to provide the hardware and see what people do with it.

      When Apple released the first iPhone no one had an app store, originally Apple wasn’t even going to have an app store it was all going to be web apps and then they realized that they could make more money with an app store. It wasn’t a feature people expected, but people do expect apps now and they’re not present.

        We absolutely expected it when we realised no games or anything could be installed.
