OK so they added sound and are finally delivering a first-party camera, got it.

Does the iSight not count? It was Firewire and pretty much exclusive to Macs, but still remains one of the nicest webcams I've ever used.

AR is a fascinating field to me. It could be actually, genuinely useful to so many industries, but instead it pretty much gets made into ridiculously expensive gimmicks with features like "always be recording" and "idunno, check your email with your eyes?"

Which is sad because I don't give a gently caress about VR metaverse poo poo, but AR is such an interesting tool if it was utilised like CAD or poo poo like that, an actual tool, not a designer piece of lovely phone taped to a hat.

That's one thing I'm less bothered by. It's still a bit of a regression but people put up with a cable between their earphones and Walkman for decades, and being able to easily swap it out eases battery anxiety a little bit.

The strap is removable, I get the feeling that there will be options for rear mounted batteries relatively quickly, though considering how niche this thing is it'll probably consist mostly of 3D printed adapters for Quest straps. Problem with those is that you can't lay down comfortably with them on.

You kiddin' me? I expect no less than a full battery vest, for all-day maximum reality augmentation

drat, I forgot all about those. I wonder if you could get one working with up-to-date hardware. Looks like FireWire adapters are more common than I thought, but I wonder if any of them are any good.

And now that I think about it, there were also these in the 90s, though I've never handled one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_QuickTake

Surely they'll turn off and leave you in the dark as soon as they detect a penis. Wouldn't want someone to watch porn on the work machine.

If it turns off once it detects a penis that would remove 90% of the market for it

e: yeah, ok, I forgot about lesbian porn. Make that 50% of the market

From what I hear they're going to put out two versions of it. The no-penis version where it will remove any penis in sight and the too many penis version, where, if it detects an area of the screen that doesn't already have a penis it will digitally add more in.

Like normal with apple products your going to have to jail break it just to get what you think would come out of the box, a penis slider so you can be the one to chose how many penis you actually want to be seeing at any particular time. Seriously apple just let the consumer customizes this stuff ourselves!

Guaranteed this thing has zero onboard storage and needs to be tethered to an iPhone to work. Apple does not let you escape the ecosystem.

Look if this all somehow crazily leads to apple getting everyone a 10 hour or less work week I'll never say a drat thing against them again.

The dystopian future no one was expecting, your work schedules defined by how quickly your AR set recharges.
