It's not in Apple's interests to get into military contracting because of the potential to damage their brand, as well as avoiding the geopolitical tensions that would invite.

Apple won't. But as soon as these headsets hit the market manufacturers will be tearing them apart and reverse engineering them.

$4k/unit is nothing when it comes to military hardware. There's also no need for the outward facing display, etc.

If anything, I wouldn't be surprised if Hololens goes in this direction. And the DoD already has contracts around the hololens.
