I don't see how Apple can possibly address "weight" in 4 generations.  Have they addressed weight with any other product since Apple's inception, such that they made a product so FEATHER LIGHT no one would ever complain about wearing it on their face?  No!  Somebody out there will ALWAYS complain about weight as long as a thing is worn on one's face!  And when will VISION PRO not be worn on the face?  Well, when Apple comes out with the Apple HoloDeck version, that's when!  And I assure you, that HoloDeck version won't be out in my lifetime.

Therefore, people who complain about weight will just need to get over it because it's not going away anytime soon.  You can make it lighter than now, but never light enough to satisfy the "it weighs too much" people.

The main issue I see is what few people talk about.  What happens when a machine is so old that genuine parts are no longer made?  What then?

If I had a machine that's 8-10 years old and largely works, it's my right to keep using it.  And stop telling me it's dangerous !  Stop telling me about security and "you should upgrade."  People who say that are no different than folks against Right to Repair.  Security and all that are important considerations that are BESIDE THE POINT.  I still use a Macintosh SE/30.  Are you going to get on my case about that?  Even so, I made need to repair it.  But in the case of the SE/30, Apple didn't design certain parts to be keyed.  Meaning, I can replace any part I want on the SE/30 with parts that were not original Apple parts, and it will work.  But with an iPhone or similar modern device, Apple has designed certain parts so that only OFFICIAL APPLE PARTS will act as replacements.

One can argue in defense of Apple for doing this, but such only helps people who have a modern device which still has Apple certified parts available for it.  At some point though, Apple will stop making parts for it, and then what?  Of course, then the DEFEND APPLE FOREVER folks will come out of the cracks talking about security and how you should upgrade, but like I said, all that is BESIDE THE POINT.  It doesn't help people who want to repair an 8-10 year old device for their own reasons.

So I see this RIGHT TO REPAIR battle as going beyond modern devices.  IT MUST!  For truly, all current devices will soon become UNSUPPORTED DEVICES, and that will be faster than you think.

Whether you should use an old device or not is IRRELEVANT to the topic of REPAIR.  Regardless of the security issues surrounding use of older devices, there are people who may want to repair that older device for their own reasons and they need the ability to use NON-Apple parts for the specific reason that Apple will eventually stop making those parts.  But if the parts only work if Apple makes the parts, then similar parts from non-Apple sources won't work!  That's the core problem nobody talks about!

True support on YouTube should ultimately include SPATIAL VIDEO.  

If they can support HDR, 8K 60 and all that fancy stuff, it's no stretch for them to support Spatial Video as a special format.  Because if indeed these VR headsets are the future, as some contend.  It's the logical extension of YouTube, to make you feel immersed in the video you're watching.

What does the TITLE of this article even mean?  Makes zero sense.  To some people, the mere act of wearing such googles outside is considered bad manners.  So how can one "mind one's manners" and please everyone?  ANSWER: You can't unless you only wear it indoors.

Yet another "app store" for gold-digging lawyers, governments and developers to go after to demand a larger slice of whatever pie Apple decides to present to them?
