"Replaceable Battery"? Now that's a right direction.
A custom battery that won't fit anything else, and cost a small countries annual budget? It depends on what they mean by 'replaceable'. That word can be very elastic.

Yup. There has to be enough content to compel consumers to (a) want to buy this at whatever price point it eventually has, and (b) want to put on and wear the gear long/frequently enough to make the expenditure in (a) worthwhile.3D TVs anyone?
There's an order of magnitude price difference between Apple Watch and the rumored price of this product. I don't see how they will conform to a similar demand curve. Series 0 watches were impulse buys for some people at $350. Not many people will squander $3000 on a novelty product.

Everything seems to be going wrong for Meta these days. No one cares about Metaverse, then they tried to get into the "AI" race by releasing "Galactica" large language model for scientists and it was a dumpster fire because people noticed they cannot rely on it at all (it produces misinformation).FYI, Meta has quietly pivoted away from VR. Even Meta realizes that the potential for a VR platform is low.
Sadly yes! Apple Engineering team in 2023 regarding the headset.“Dead” on arrival"?
But the future is for AR, friction less see-through eye glasses that function as a phone replacement and provide a useful HUD for real life.
They are rushing it because adult content is the main reason why people will buy this. It's one of those things the vast majority of people watch but refuse to admit they do.They're rushing this headset when they could be bringing back 3D Touch...
I think Apple will not allow porn on the device…. Just like the AppStore.They are rushing it because adult content is the main reason why people will buy this. It's one of those things the vast majority of people watch but refuse to admit they do.
The pun is strong with this one.I wonder if anyone of them ran into walls?
Oh… yes that makes perfect sense. I forgot completely how the Apple Watch kind of useless until they “figured it out” from public feedback and study.My guess is that this will be like the first-gen Apple Watch: slow, underpowered, and no clear direction. If they market it correctly and developers get on board, then it will probably find its niche or killer app a couple years in. It'll probably take the Apple AR glasses to replace the iPhone.
I wonder what the Xcode simulators would look like for this device. If apps could be developed using the simulator (or using an iPhone's limited AR capabilities) then it would make it a lot easier for the ecosystem to grow despite the high price of the device.
The increase in the single male demographic is proportional to the increase in Onlyfans users. From a capitalists perspective, it makes sense to indirectly target this audience using plausible deniability such as video games and non-pornographic content.I think Apple will not allow porn on the device…. Just like the AppStore.
Go buy an Oculus or something if you want to rot your brain.
Sounds like you haven’t been keeping up with AR tech and software. Some of the apps are insane regarding what can be achieved.I think the hardware will be there to support it but the software is going to lack big time. The lack of Apple AR/VR headset apps will be lacking. It will be very limited. Look at what’s going on with the LiDAR sensor. Not too many compelling apps out there.
I mean this makes no sense. Just release the product when it’s ready. Apple Watch O was not ready until version 2 or possibly 3.I can't see how they sell any of these unless there is some compatibility with a commercial application and/or PC gamers. These are the only people who can justify $3k for a toy. And if I'm not mistaken, this thing isn't going to be able to replace your Valve Index or HP Reverb.
The only way this thing goes to market is Apple feels it excites people enough by teasing them what could be in future iterations of the product. Apple Watch Series 0 was an absolute dog**** product, hilariously unreliable and underpowered, but when I bought it I knew something was brewing under the surface. But I had to experience it to know that...and unless Apple puts these VR headsets in Apple stores for people to use/try, nobody is going to care.
I'm not sure this is going to take off.
“Dead” on arrival"?
setting expectations lower and lower ...
3D TVs anyone?
And here we go again… iPod was introduced when there were millions of discman (I think that was the name) and mo3 players used by people already, same scenario with the iPhone - what is used today that this headset is going to replace??? Name something other than gaming headsets please?![]()

If the glasses have a web browser, people will most definitely be watching porn on them. 🤷♂️I think Apple will not allow porn on the device…. Just like the AppStore.

I wholeheartedly agree!If the glasses have a web browser, people will most definitely be watching porn on them. 🤷♂️
