Whatever use cases they try to push for social settings, I think Google Glass was still the better solution. Nobody uses their Vision Pro outside, and it’s way too expensive as just another VR headset to use at home.

    They don’t do that to allow consumers or hobbyists tweak the device in ways they want. They want to establish a functional ecosystem, so they need apps. Once it’s running, apple is the first to shut it down again and charge whatever they want

      Those two statements, allowing consumers and hobbyists to tweak the device in the ways they want, and having a functional ecosystem of apps, are loosely equivalent.

      I know the difference is you want hobbyists to be able to change more than Apple allows. But it isn’t a binary hobbyists or not.
