why do you guys say this? Amazon's "View in your room" feature does a decent job of placing a furniture in AR. We can even walk around/towards it. And that tech is just Apple ARKit right?

right.. so maybe Apple just thinks it is not good enough yet. They must be stretched on onboard compute capacity already.

And some might argue you just switch apps to find that "screen".

Personally I would put something interesting on the ceiling and look up at it.
