Am I the only one bothered by the fact that their models are topless?

I can't help but feel they are signalling their intent to be an eye into my private life, not unlike the monitoring predicted in 1984.

They could be wearing tops with no shoulders...
Just you
My intuition is that these will be a hit. Simple, fun, youthful & on trend, not fussy to charge, huge captive userbase to sell to. Can you turn them around and use the mirrored lenses to take a selfie?

Snap probably has a winner here if their users will further embrace the idea of turning cameras away from their faces and onto their friends and experiences. How big an "if" that is, I can't yet say.

I think they're too trendy looking. They'll be fine for a season/uni semester, but after that will drop out of fashion. And they'll be too pricey for their core demographic to keep buying new ones.
