The Hololens was way ahead of this as far as AR goes, the only issue that device had was FOV, but I won't use any passthrough after trying both

Passthrough has the benefit of enabling processing the input in ways to make surroundings more compelling and to blend in with the virtual content.

Also small FOV is a critical issue for transparent screen AR. No one has managed to improve this significantly after hololens v1.

The hololens was much better at blending, I want to see the actual real world, not a display of it. There is no comparison here

HLv2 was an all around improvement, if you only tried v1, you cannot make conclusions

That has nothing to do with the point that VR issues are being prescribed to an AR device..

The Apple device is an "AR" device, it still projects artificle video to your eyes rather than letting you see the real world.

I haven't seen anything the apple device does better than the hololens 2, other than the field of view, which is only possible because they are mock AR, not real AR
