    It serve a different purpose.. allowing people to have a large ultra wide display tethered to a wire.

    Until Apple can put a powerful A or M series chip in a glass + battery that weigh less then 100g. I think the stakeholders will never go ahead. No one wants a wired glasses or powered with battery pack for a AR experience, nor a laggy AR.

      AR/VR glasses will never take off because they're incompatible for those of us who wear actual glasses. Only headsets have any shot of finding a market.

        Apple would have loved such glasses if they needed on-board computing. But well, this is not needed:)

          nice

              Apple failed to do what a small company like Xreal did (the Xreal One, and One Pro).

                      Last time the news about apple 5g chip being canceled is turn out false. Dont be so sure about this one. Lol

                          NFB-FB, 01 Feb 2025With Steve Jobs alive they wouldn't cancel it.Steve Jobs seems like a visionary compared to mogul Tim Cook. I'm not surprised that this brand has lost its magic after Jobs.

                            Apple probably thought about how Google Glasses turned out...

                                They're just living off the backs of HS teens who forced their parents to buy them iphones. So their schoolmates won't ostracize them.
