I am very interested to see what Apple does in this space during WWDC. It might a flop or maybe it will be another iPhone moment (though I doubt AR/VR will have the same rise as the iPhone even though I'm bullish on the tech long-term). Apple has a history of taking something tired a number of times before (sometimes even by themselves, hello Newton) and succeeding at bringing it to the masses but time will tell. |

I’m as of yet unconvinced that gaming isn’t the killer app VR has. The “work and communicate in your VR headset” vision from Meta I’m suspicious of, but Apple could do cheap casual gaming (beat saber et al.), fitness (beat saber with a fitness skin), and media consumption (big screen) really well, and they have all the services to funnel people towards for those use cases.
Gaming and media consomption are just so fun in VR where literally everything else is either annoying at best or painful at worst in my experience. Apple could just play in those very obvious bounds and make something worth while.
