I want to play The Sims using Apple AR/VR headset. I want to be in the game. No one should be able to mess with me.
Got a tip for us?

I love the way they continue to spin this. It's like a rumor supporting a another rumor that is supporting yet another rumor.
Why? Go to any tech company and you'll have a few/some employees who do not meet expectations. Let them go, life goes on with a better team.
I agree, echo chambers filled with yes men are the way to success!
I don't understand... Are you suggesting that Apple, one of the most successful companies in the world, with close to a billion customers, many repeat, is propelled to that level of success with yes men?
A couple thoughts…
As far as I know Google Glass was not AR. HUD yes, but not AR.
Knowingly launching a still rudimentary feature, especially when that feature is something as important as typing, is bad.
Obviously not! Internal criticism is vital to Apple’s success.
If it really is $3k then you know how niche a market it's aiming itself towards and how many they expect to sell. It might be good, but it would be better if the price point meant a wider audience to encourage the development of apps.
At least it'll have the feature... even if it is rudimentary.
Remember when people slammed the original iPhone for not having copy-and-paste... but then 3 years later Microsoft launched Windows Phone that didn't have copy-and paste?
I'd guess rudimentary typing is better than NO typing.
I don't think it will be even close to $3K. It seems that *rumor*, going back at least a year, is clinged to by many in order to proclaim it a flop.
You just precisely described the MacRumors forums! Thank you! But you left out the additional 100 pages of the same thing if/when the product is announced and released. There has never been an Apple product release that wasn’t derided, condemned, declared DOA, dismissed, laughed at by the MacRumors forum commenters.

..gaming as a focus is highly unlikely. Even with Apple silicon gaming is still not really supported and especially constrained by the hardware. And I’m talking about “real” games, not e.g. Apple Arcade stuff. (Which ofc is fine for causal gaming…)
That game would be a good fit, and already has a version for hand-tracking. But the biggest issue is that the company that made it was bought by Google, and I don’t think Apple would want to promote Google software very prominently.
Even among VR enthusiasts, there is a ton of debate on which capabilities to prioritize, so there is no way to please everyone. Smartphones all look largely the same and have similar features, with a couple exceptions (FaceID). XR devices are quite widely varied, and there isn’t really a way to implement all the best features in a single device. For example, if you want a wide FOV, you have to use an opaque device. Transparent devices like HoloLens,
NReal, and Magic Leap all have tiny FOV compared to any VR set.
Let's make it even better for ourselves and stay in Reality.
Well, they may not announce the price… there were several months between the Apple Watch announcement and the announcement of its price.
The only thing I could see myself using this for is if you can use it as external displays for your Mac. But it's not worth $3000 just to do that.
I agree. Any thoughts as to why that is? Perhaps it's age-related (and thus level of maturity)? Or???
I can’t wait to come back to comments like this
Yep and well put, and so do the so called leakers…I love the way they continue to spin this. It's like a rumor supporting an another rumor that is supporting yet another rumor.
They keep guessing until it’s true
