I just wanted to hear what everyone's thoughts are on Apple's new product line coming out in 2024. Will this be the new iPad/iPhone? While the price is certainly prohibitive, from what I can tell from the keynote and promo, it really does seem like the real deal; a different way of interacting 'in space.' I think this is the step in the right direction for AR/VR to be more mainstream.

I think it will really depend on if there are 1 or 2 "killer" apps. For Smartphone, when it first came out (before Iphone, there were tons of pseudo-smartphones coming out of Japan/Korea for a decade), it was just some glorified mp3 player with basic internet and phone capabilities plus some calculators. It wasn't until maps, navigations, and later, apps like lyft, uber, and Instagram, that really drove home the role of smartphones for the average consumer.
