No one cares. This is a product no one asked for or cares about, just like the stupid AppleCar. Why is the tech journo industry so fixated on it?

Tell that to Facebook who bet the whole farm on it. For Apple this is just one product.

XR/AR is already a pretty big part of everyday tech (especially social media and some video games/shopping apps). It isn’t going away and at some point we’ll all be wearing glasses (or something like that..). Yes, this particular post appears to be bullshit, but the general interest in this topic is based whether folks like it or not. No one wanted smart phones until we saw how useful they were and how they could enhance our lives. Same deal with the internet. XR might not change our lives in the next couple years, and certainly not in 2023. But give it a decade or two and shits gonna be a lot different. Just because meta is embarrassing itself and tech “journalists” are full of shit sometimes doesn’t mean it’s not happening
