Apple is the only company with bugs in their software obviously.I hope it's not running Ventura 13.3 (or iOS equivalent) or you may end up blind in one eye

Before Apple started to sell AS Macs they had the DTK Mac Mini with a A12z to test native apps, that’s the last something like that worked out nicely before the first M1 Macs arrived November 2020, they were available WWDC 2020. That was also the example they got full reimbursement too later on. Where as in this similar example the distinct lack of AR enhanced online content will take years for it to fly well. You can’t justify the rumored price at all.
No, surely not.
Cellphones took 15 years to take off so they were not an easy sell. PDAs never became mainstream.
Yep. That's how many things work. Often products or design decisions that make no sense still make money. And that is why companies will continue to do things that don't make sense for users. And this is why from their own perspective, it makes sense to push nonsense out.
I was using touch screens at an aquarium in 1992. It was obvious they were a fantastic idea. The world was just not ready for them then. It's not only the one device or technology. Other things have to be ready in order for that one device or technology to work in the market. Content, supporting technology like batteries, sharper screens and suitable materials to make the device easy, comfortable and affordable, content delivery infrastructure....
I didn't really want it to flop, but I know there's no way I'd buy it, but you have a very good point...
I know I was very excited! And I've been happy with every version I've bought too -- it really is a good thing for me.
Nothing in that article is a solves the fact that a pixel (even a really small one) 2 inches from your eye will cover too large an area in your field of view to make it useful as a high resolution workspace. The article has some good explanations and suggestions for anyone who is not getting optimal performance from their VR gear, but “acceptable” detail in a game is far from what is needed for the “virtual workspace“ scenario.
You need the right pixel density per degree and optical clarity to resolve that resolution, which means that there will be a headset in the next 5-10 years that is exactly as crisp as a 4K monitor and will be capable of producing a virtual work setup at exactly the same image quality.
Even if it does something incredibly useful the price point is going to be way too high for me to consider it. Every other attempt by Google and Amazon and Microsoft to develop a headset has proven expensive and limited in ability. I've tried to use several, and my brother in law still has them put away because they were novelty items not really useful tools but he was unwilling to sell his for the pennies on the dollar that he could get for them. I sold mine. With the price rumored to be around $3K I'm not even curious. Maybe there are niche applications for such a device but I have never seen any games/apps that you can control using goggles and gloves or other input devices that justify the cost. If this is the future of Apple, buy Tesla I guess. They have a working power table like the mat Apple tried to introduce a few years ago about to go on the market. I'm not sure how badly I need THAT either but at least it has a functionality I can see a use for me as long as the price isn't ridiculous.
Some Apple employees are concerned about the usefulness and price point of the company's upcoming mixed-reality headset, The New York Times reports.
Initial enthusiasm around the device at the company has apparently become skepticism, according to eight current and former Apple employees speaking to The New York Times. The change of tone reportedly marks an unprecedented level of concern about a new Apple product inside the company, in stark contrast to previous product launches that were pursued with single-mindedness and enthusiasm.
The first-generation headset is purportedly seen as a bridge to future products that require technological breakthroughs, but many employees are said to have worries about the device's $3,000 price point, utility, and unproven market. Skeptics have questioned if the device is "a solution in search of a problem," unlike the iPod and iPhone. The headset has apparently not been "driven by the same clarity" as Apple's other products.
Some Apple employees have defected from the project due to doubts about its potential, while others have been fired over lack of progress with some of the device's functionality, including Siri. The discontent is said to extend to members of Apple's leadership, some of whom have questioned the device's prospects.
The headset was apparently presented to many of Apple's top 100 executives via a video at a corporate retreat five years ago made by design chief Jony Ive. The video depicted a man in a London taxi wearing an augmented reality headset calling his wife in San Francisco, sharing the sights of London through the husband's eyes.
The New York Times reaffirmed previous reports that the headset will feature a carbon fiber frame, a hip-mounted battery, outward-facing cameras, two 4K displays, prescription lenses for wearers of glasses, and a "reality dial" to increase or decrease real-time video pass-through from the surrounding environment.
Apple has focused on ensuring that the device excels at videoconferencing and time spent as virtual avatars, calling the headset's main application "copresence." There will also be custom high-resolution TV content from Hollywood filmmakers including Jon Favreau. Despite similarities with Meta's headsets and the "metaverse," Apple is expected to pitch the device as something that differs from existing offerings.
The device will also offer tools for artists, designers, and engineers, enabling drawing and image editing in 3D space. There will also be applications for editing virtual reality video using hand gestures. As a result, it is expected to appeal to businesses and design companies more than ordinary consumers. Some employees have allegedly speculated that Apple could again delay the headset's launch, even though manufacturing is now underway for an unveiling in June.

If the item fails horribly he still retires rich.The last 10 years HAVE been profitable for Apple, and at any large corporation when the CEO of a very large corporation is given the boot in a move widely seen as being fired he still gets millions of dollars as a buyout.
that is not healthy to enjoy failures in others. You should enjoy the successes of everyone.
He retires rich no matter what.
