When Apple releases their headset.
2 comments

This has been rumored for 10 years along with the Apple Car, I doubt it will release.
They’ve demoed it to the board twice, it’s shipping. It’s not what you’re imagining - will (imo) be all day wear flip down passthrough AR with 4ish hour battery life.
How do you know this? This seems like extremely confidential knowledge.
It leaked
link?
Who wants to wear this and why?
It will have similar usage patterns as your watch (all day wear not all day use) but will be AirPods for the eyes via a flip down visor. (Imo)
Again who wants to wear that? Normal people don’t.
Who wants to wear any type of eye glasses ... nobody. But they do! Because they have utility.

I can't understand why you wouldn't want to be able to wear a perfectly normal pair of glasses that have the additional feature that you can pull up your phone screen at any moment without actually getting it out of your pocket.

Apple won’t ship anything until they’ve found a way to make people want to.

The key insight is that the device will be off most of the time.
