Hold on, setting aside $3,000 to buy this. Just kidding! No fucking way.

Thats a good point and I'd still argue that yes they would because the end goal is truly immersive AR glasses. I also could see them releasing a "kinda" AR to begin with that would set the products apart.

Well, I guess if that’s all ya got…

They could make smartglasses and release them tomorrow, but would that have mass appeal across future generations? It's the same thing as a smartwatch, just on your face.

>Apple cannot bypass the laws of physics, and there are many physical limitations with AR today even if they've made multiple breakthroughs.

I was gonna say how so, but to be honest I'd agree in some sense. They may be a little short on full AR but much less so with on display glasses that while they aren't fully immersive AR are still moving in the right direction. Which would be in Apples wheel house of release and iterate.

I'm not usually one to make a definitive stance, but this is one of those times. It's public knowledge given the many devices, patents, and research out in public view. Apple cannot bypass the laws of physics, and there are many physical limitations with AR today even if they've made multiple breakthroughs.

Meta themselves are not going to be ready to release their AR glasses until 2027, assuming the date doesn't slip.

I don't know about that, that is all just speculation. Like I said earlier Apple has been able to do tremendous things with their watches. I could absolutely see them releasing glasses with thicker bands to house the board and battery. Speculating they could put the battery in one band and the board in the other. The screens/viewport is the real, no one knows.

All the recent articles about Apples difficulties could be misdirection so when they do drop their glasses, it has a bigger impact. I don't know though I'm just speculating. You absolutely could be correct.

The technology for consumer scalable AR glasses doesn't exist yet. That's why Apple is going the headset route for now.

I don't know, they absolutely could release Apple glasses. They have the capability given what they can do with their watches with concern to screen and battery. But the whole AR/VR headset seems kinda far fetched IMHO as VR doesn't fit well into their lifestyle ethos with concern to their gadgets.

Good point about the wrist movements, maybe that explains it for hockey

This would greatly reduce the ridiculous amount of cables I have running all around my desk and for my dual monitors (been thinking about adding a third)

This would be awesome as a student. I would be able to finally attached my external monitors and charge my accessories.

Is there any real evidence that Apple is going to announce VR/MR/whateverR? I’ve been seeing a lot of gibberish and lower grade than usual rumors. May be I’m just missing the better ones?

This could be interesting. I’m really looking forward to seeing if Apple really have found a way of making this make sense with current technology or if they’ve Newtoned themselves again.

I’m also looking forward to finding out who volunteered to put the headset on and look like a dork for the event.

So get a sim and stick it in the old one?

Or buy a cheap replacement?

It's really not that hard.

Sim cards aren't going away for another year or two by then even $5 phones from Wish will support esim

Because you need sport watch (garmin,polar,amazfit) with some smart watch features not smartwatch with some sport features (apple).

I even ditched Fenix in favour of Instinct2 (light, rugged, long battery life, straight plain display, minimum of smart functionality) - so more lumberjack type of sports watch.

They are allright, wrist and chest strap are quite near, wrist hrm takes a few seconds longer to follow HR changes compared to chest HRM.

But!

Wrist HRM are not that good for using on cycling because hand when grips and flexes around will make wrist HRM logic off balance while chest HRM will do job without problem. Add into that dust and sweat and you have slow reading and strange numbers you are experiencing.

So for all kinds of cycing , chest HRM is better choice for accurate readout.

Have Edge for cycling (road, mountain, climb) and exclusively wear chest HRM, but for everything else I use Instinct2 with wrist HRM.

Garmin (and Polar too imho) makes excellent sport watches with some smartwatch functionality, while Apple makes fashionable quality smartwatch with some sport functionality.

Dear reviewer, I and quite large percentage of active amateur and recreational cyclists prefer larger display single instrument right in front of us on handlebar or on extension, so we do not have to look onto side onto tiny screen, take palm off handle and get distracted on road or on mountain trail.

So most of us use Edge or any equivalent of it from Polar or other producers.

So no, it is not "king for cyclist", far from it.

But it is good instrument for all sports where taking look off way is not a problem.

Sincerely, greybeard cyclist.

You'll go nowhere and own nothing (except your iPhone) and be happy.

Money. The answer is always money.

Thanks, I added another phobia XD And now Iam jealous for some "high life" and government buildings which surrounded with no-gps zone (drones (which relies) just drops down there)
