Technically, I believe it is shaping up to be a pair of spectacles! 🥸

I will say - other companies may have cooler tech demos (ie: Vaporware that never really sends up shipping), but nobody executes like Apple.

Just ask Microsoft. They have all the vision they need, but they just can't execute, or when they do, it's too early or too late and they show up at the party like a half inflated balloon, or cripple the product in a small but meaningful way. I mean, when the iPad came out everyone was like "MS did tablets years ago". I remember them. My school gave them to teachers for years. They *sucked*. Absolutely ***** product. Terrible.

I mean, you can look back at some of the promotional videos and stuff they released 25 years ago about connected homes, media center PCs, even HoloLens, all that, and it all mostly came true. They saw it. They knew it was coming. And they blew it.

This is absolutely correct. For all the bitching about Apple Vision Pro (TM), show me one person who ever even considered a Hololens. Or a Microsoft Courier. Remember that one? One year before iPad. Scrapped it before release. They came close for a year or so with Windows Phone when no one had firmly established dominance yet but quickly screwed the pooch on that one too.

One thing Apple can do is stick to it. Sticktoitiveness is the one thing the other tech companies lack.
