They are referring to Cellphones, Portable Music Players, and Wearables. None were "sexy" until Apple came along and became the trend setters.

It's going to be harder for apple to do it with VR or AR tech, but it is possible. It probably won't catch on until Gen 3-4 once the ecosystem is up to speed, consumer price drops, and the true function emerges beyond perceived hype.

There were plenty of cellphones that people loved the "sexy" design of, which did well commercially. Motorola RAZR for one, particularly the v3 "Noir", Danger Sidekick/Hiptop, especially the 2 and 3 with teens. The modding/customizing scene was a sensation at one point, was big with the hip-hop scene. Lots of celebrities made it a desirable thing.

This is without even getting into the obvious of BlackBerry.

It would literally mean wearing this thing on your face.

Alone from a pure beauty standpoint this would mean destroying your hair and makeup for what?

Probably not for a selfie
