I never knew so many people would buy an AR headset of apple.
I'm not surprised so many would buy it, but it surprised we reached this number before the first reviews. That a brand new line of product and I'm not even sure what people will use it for πΆ
Yea ... I personally don't get it ... but people are down for it.
The biggest example I've seen people excited about is office work ... instead of screens it's all just a VR. On which I'm expecting to see posts/blogs about why that doesn't work too well in the long term. I just don't see a big heavy thing on your face working out as a product. And while Apple may have done a lot of things well here, they haven't gotten around that essential problem it seems (??) and may have jumped the gun here out of desparation to find new product markets. For me this is a 50/50 as their first major flop in a while (does homepod count?)
Yeah I canβt imagine working with that thing hanging on my face all day. I feel like it will hurt after 30 minutes of continuous wear.
Maybe not hurt by 30m but you'd probably be fatigued.
