Apple - AAPL - Share Chat

Doesn’t really say they’ve failed. The Vision Pro is a niche product, it’s obvious they’d look to make a cheaper version like they have with all their products.

Who’s buying XDR displays for example? I wouldn’t say it’s failed but it’s also a nice product. If someone’s buying an Apple display they’ve buying the studio display or just an iMac. Same will be true for the vision headsets I expect.

Time will tell if all this vr stuff in general will even last though

You’re right. I should have written a more accurate caption. In fact, it says the sales are slowing.

Can we expect a copy of the Ray Ban/Meta sunglasses?

Oddly enough both are many years behind, anyone remember Google Glass - Google Glass - Wikipedia

Failed for a number of reasons, the perception privacy wise, tech not being advanced enough at the time.

One of the product videos Google put out recently seemed to have the Google Glass product back in some guise

I don’t even remember Google Glass, but it seems Meta’s glasses are not failing. In fact, there are other manufacturers interested due to this trend.

Yeah the world seems more accepting of it now (and more demand for it), compared to the privacy uproar about Google Glass at the time, funny old world :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m not so sure. If glasses become 24/7 recording devices then who’s going to trust people wearing glasses in the changing rooms at the gym or in the milking shed?

Also the same in the office for people who deal with confidential customer data, financial records, nuclear secrets, etc

I’ll be keeping a stock of monocles in my pocket to hand out to people who wear glasses so we can chat in private.

Forget smart glasses, who wants to go into business with me on DumbMonocles.com? I’m looking for £20 for 80% of my business.

I guess my main point, is more the fact the general newsworthiness of it seems much lower, I’ve heard/read very little of the Meta glasses privacy wise, compared to what was being said about Google Glass as at the time

Puts the $20bn+ payment from Google at risk

I thought the $20bn was for Google Search

Government lawyers also recommended that District Judge Amit Mehta force the firm to stop entering into contracts with companies - including Apple and Samsung - that make its search engine the default on many smartphones and browsers.
