Ah yes, with electronics and batteries going "BANG" from time to time, I cant see myeself wearing one of these. A burnt thigh from it going off in your pocket is one thing, going blind is another entirely.
 
I predict Apple will release a wearable, personal-history-dependent, quantum information teleportation device, in the 2130s. Do I need to make a snazzy render to get an article about the “iPop“ published on MacRumors?

But what I’d really by 2030 like is a stable os.

More accurate prediction: if overfishing, mass animal agriculture, power consumption (also looking at NFTs and Cryptocurrencies) continue like this, then all that Apple will be manufacturing in the 2030s are air filter face masks, virus test kits, and weapons.
 
Now that the news is out on that... This gives Samsung time to bring theirs out by 2029
 
I don’t understand why people can’t be open minded and think creatively of how this could benefit the future in a variety of ways. I guess it’s just easier for others to jump on the ‘bandwagon’ and have a glib outlook that this can’t happen because ‘No one will use this..’

This is an about Kuo’s prediction, it’s about realizing that there is potential behind this technology and no one here and I mean no one, truly understands the future holds.

What we do know, is this technology is nowhere near ready and won’t be for quite some time, but it’s certainly believable and for those who actually expand their minds to understand that, Understand to think beyond the scope of this could be a part our future. And for that, I embrace it.
Chillax, even if they release it, which I highly doubt, I would not be crazy enough to put a battery powered Shizzle Apple Lifestyle Product on one of my most sensitive body parts. The tech is simply not ready for this yet, and I doubt it will be ready in the next 100-200ys or even more. So why care?, as If I will last that long...

It's amazing how soon this future is!!!
Soon? We havent seen anything that even remotely reassembles AR lenses. There is not even an underlying technology that we know of that can offer this kind of functionality. We are at least 30 years from this, if we are lucky.

Kuo was drunk!
 
Can we just get a damn hoverboard first.

Just use magnets or something.....
 
In 1950's computers were the size of a Costco. Now I walk into a Costco with my iPhone on my belt which is thousands of times faster then those early mainframe computers. So anything is possible with technology. High speed bluetooth, body puts off electrical power which electronics could use. Super small micro video cameras, Ultra micro LED displays, headphones that smaller and smaller which fits inside your ear or bone conducting. Augmented glasses first, but most people don't want to wear glass or want to use when doing sports. Can you imagine the Olympics in 16 years where you will be able to see the athletes playing sports and seeing it from their view or they can get information back about how they are doing during the event!
When Apollo landed on the moon, we believed that landing on Mars was just a matter of a decade, and yet, here we are, more than 50 years later, not being even close to this milestone. We have been struggling for 50 years to achieve stable atom fusion, and we are still a couple of decades away of achieving that. Researching quantum computing is something that started many many decades ago, and the technology is still in the early stages of its development. We have achieved great technology advancements in the last decades, dont get me wrong, but these are just a result of "mastering" the manufacturing of electronic circuit-boards, networks and micro-processors that were invented in the beginning or in middle of the century. Getting to the next level, would require developing a new breakthrough technology and materials.

Can't help but think this is just some finger in the sky "reporting" for SEO

As a contact lens wearer, day to day use of these will be hideous over time.

That's why gimmick contact lenses are one wear only most of the time.

They would need fitting properly, and a rigorous cleaning/replacement cycle to even be near functional as an actual contact lens, let alone anything more feature rich than the things I use monthly to give me ACTUAL PROPER EYESIGHT.
 
I can't imagine putting something in my eye from a company, like Apple, that has let quality fall so low. There is a huge difference between producing devices for teenagers to play with and producing devices that have the capability to destroy an essential part of your body. Apple has produced stuff with great features, but they have never even produced a serious computer (which is supposed to be their core competency), just toys.
