I remember when the AW1 came out and how nobody was wearing it. I wasn’t wearing it bc my old Fitbit pulse stick was just great for counting steps.
A decade later I see Apple Watch everywhere, almost alarmingly so, and I use it myself since v4, which basically turned it from unusable to the product we have today.
If Apple doesn’t AirMax the AVP this is probably what will happen with the glasses - first iteration for the hardcore Apple fans and developers and ready for a wider market four or five years later (after massive technological advances) to a nice chunk of wide adoption in a decade (while the product itself only improves marginally at that point).
And just as AW has found its niche as a sport/health device (and still ignores much of its potential for other uses), so will the glasses down the road. It’s a great product waiting to evolve and grow.
Ooooooor the go the AirMax route and it a great idea will shrivel to death in the open sun. Let’s see.
