    The photo of the woman wearing VR goggles with a shit-eating grin on her face while supposedly having a conversation with somebody really speaks volumes about how Apple envisions us to interact with one another in 2024. Good grief, I abhor absolutely everything about this.

      The goggles make her look stoned.

      Wearing googles while having a convo is almost worse than being on the phone, its very antisocial.

      I wonder what the “Glasshole” equivalent will be.

      The headset may or may not be great for a virtual workspace or entertainment, but the social aspect of it feels weird to me. I’d rather take the headset off to interact with a person next to me.

          I’m gen X and I feel like it’s rude to talk to someone with earbuds in so I always take them out, I have noticed a lot of the younger generations don’t view it as rude.

    Not shocked about the headaches (happens with most of the headsets), but I’m a little sad about the weight issues. That sucks - I’m an Android user but I was hoping Apple doing this would lead to some Android development in the same space

      I feel like there’s just so much crammed in this thing it’s going to be heavy right now, but if you look back, they used to be massive and heavy and have continued to get lighter and more compact. Give this a few generations, and I’m sure it’ll lighten up a bit and get thinner.

      TLDR; never buy the first generation of anything.

    I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes
