I’m just reading tea leaves but I think these could eventually be Apples shot at the two biggest pillars of Microsoft’s consumer base, enterprise and gaming. In enterprise I could see these being great for replacing multi monitor setups and keeping all the information you need in view, obviously the price would still need to come down but I personally would love to decouple from my desk without giving up that screen real estate but maybe I’m in the minority. They also debuted the dev tools for porting games to run on Apples M architecture and MacOS, and with all the progress made in Linux gaming the passed few years I could easily see them trying to optimize that to the point where it’s as good as Proton(which I know the dev kit is based on in some capacity). And that would be a tipping point.
Again this is all just wild speculation but I don’t think it’s completely crazy to think that Apple released these before they had the other pieces in place so they could completely iron the kinks out. Feel free to tell me why I’m very wrong if I am
They are also working on game porting toolkit so it seems they really are gunning for Microsoft
