Rumor: Apple working with Carl Zeiss on AR glasses to debut in 2018
This is one area where Apple's fixation on miniaturization will truly have a game-changing effect on an entire product category. Non-goofy-glasses/goggles are what could finally take AR into the mainstream.

Quanta rumored to build 3rd-gen Apple Watch, with extended battery and better speed
Re: "Nearly immediately, the device became the best-selling wearable..."
I love my Apple Watch, but the statement above is not true. Using the word "wearable" includes the many lower cost bands from Fitbit, etc., and they sell in higher volumes than Apple Watch. Where Apple Watch likely IS on top: (a) total revenue, (b) total profit, (c) units in the smartwatch category.
