Remains to be seen what Apple is cooking but Meta is building up a sizable lead in VR/AR hardware, and hardware is hard af

Very non trivial

East to dismiss headstarts imo. See Echo vs HomePod

Longstanding hardware success under one of those names—long developing the biggest standard of AR frameworks as well.

The other name? What is it?

I agree with your take on the shape but imo unless they make chips in the glasses work well enough to do a bunch of computation locally, it won’t work. Bluetooth is a v low bandwidth signal for stuff like this. First few Apple Watch had the same issue and newer chips improved it

It seems like a no-brainer that Apple will connect their headsets to the iPhone via bluetooth as a form of remote compute, drastically reducing the weight and increasing the battery life of the device. Would be a wild form of competitive advantage when it launches.

Yeah the spatial audio will def be a direct plug and play in a VR universe

Apple has hardware/software integrations with their chips that give them a very unfair advantage.

Meta has done a lot to further the space, but Apple’s ecosystem of devices can’t be overlooked. I consider AirPods to be Apple’s under-the-radar AR platform.

Apple VR and Apple Car have a lot of similarities 👀

apple doesn't have papa Carmack

this is why apple will lose

unless they somehow poach him

they can, cuz they have like a gazillion dollars stashed in iceland
