I was just thinking back to when I was predicting iPhones would have touch screens... that was an easy guess. I also kind of predicted the iPad would be a bigger iPhone... got that semi right. But this is more revolutionary. Its like the LISA... Gates didn't "get" it then and Zuck doesn't get it now. The LISA interface changed computing for ever, this will change things the same way, and it costs A LOT LESS and puts Apple in the content driver's seat. This may be as revolutionary as the LISA. Same thing in a way... it requires more computing power so it'll drive chip development etc too. Not so sure about batteries. Tech is up against a wall on that one.

My design school friend doesn't get it either. He's heavy into VR... not making any money doing it. He passed a Meta course to code for VR. He's of the same opinion everyone else is: "Yeah! I was impressed. They are really innovating the entire field of AR with such good mixture between the holograms and real people in the area. It seems the friendliest device in the category now! Of course, only the price tag isn’t… But it’s like a tech exploration for a later consumer version probably" I don't think its an exploration any more. Apple hit the friggin' nail on the head. Apple doesn't lower its prices on its high end stuff it raises its prices. This IS the consumer version, as they polish it it'll be even more desirable. It's probably not going to move Apple's in a big way right off... but its going to steadily sell content and sell other Apple stuff, buds, AppleTV and a LOT of Macs. One more brick in Apple's walled garden. And unlike the iPhone there's really no company that can compete with it... Meta doesn't do computers, they aren't a hardware company, Microsoft isn't a hardware company, they just dabble, Netflix doesn't do hardware, Amazon does hardware they might try to compete but that stuffs low end. Its insanely great. The ultimate Xmas toy for the whole family. I'm thinking I might buy some Apple again. This is like when Apple went UNIX. I KNEW they'd be making small devices but I didn't have money to invest then. I knew that would change everything. I knew the general public wouldn't "get it"... Sheech its got me imagining... I'm seeing future where Apple will sell machines that will scan your body and let you see your vascular system working in real time in 3D and identify possible problems, all tied into Vision Pros.
