Given the odd weight distribution, it's also unfortunate that this may have been their first headset.

Making a VR headset from aluminium and glass with nothing to balance it in the back is yet again another perfect example of Apple going hard with form over function.

One reason for not balancing it in the back is probably because putting stuff in the back makes it uncomfortable if you want to lean back in a chair or a couch which is probably very important for the device since it's primarily for sitting down compared to most other VR headsets.
