I did this in four days on a Mac Mini:

It would have taken a year without these tools.

When Richard Kerris was in charge of Apple Dev Relations, they made sure that the frameworks met developer's needs,
the API documentation was up to date, and they didn't compete with us every time an app started making a little money.
I miss those days.

The way this WWDC keynote only presented "new stuff you can buy from Apple",
I wouldn't be surprised if Xcode goes the way of iPod in two years.

If this is real, I hope that Apple fixes a problem that the Quest 2 has.
There needs to be two processors and GPUs. One to display the AR/VR content,
and another that provides a persistent overlay, showing status data and responding
to user movements.

When the Quest loads something new, the screen goes black, then there's often some
loading.... screen, then the transition to content.

This breaks the feeling of a unified experience. The overlay needs to persist when
the primary processor reboots. Just having a thread running on the AR CPU doesn't work.
It will always have to boot/reboot sometimes, going usually to black for a while.

I hope Apple thinks of that.

There might be 3,000 construction jobs, but not once the fab complex is up and running.
A fab has very little to do with "electronics". It is a hazardous chemical plant and the fab itself is but a giant machine.
Raw materials in, wafers out. And those raw materials are some of the purest, most potent chemicals available.
As far as providing "tech" jobs, the chip design work isn't being done on-site, nor is the design of the ASML-supplied fab equipment.
There might be a small workforce to do maintenance, but the goal of modern fab design is to have no humans inside the facility at all.

This is Intel getting free land, free infrastructure, and taxpayer subsidized workers.
