Is it as high-fidelity? No. High spec? No. But is it the path Apple should have taken? Absolutely. 

An Apple-branded version of Xreal with retina resolution in each eye, full Mac and iPad Pro compatibility, allowing an extension of the connected device's multitasking to your entire FoV -- that would be an instant sale for me at $2k, maybe even $3k depending on the specs.

We'll get there eventually, but it's going to take quite a while. The 'final form' of all these headsets is basically sunglasses 

No. Contact lenses.

It’s as novel as a shovel.

European regulators have a history of shooting their citizens in the foot, I think it’s really interesting to compare their approach to web site tracking (forcing each web site to implement an infuriating, often time consuming dialog for each new site you visit where most of the times the only way to turn off tracking requires reviewing a bezillion options, forcing most people to give up and choose the easy one click solution where you agree to being tracked) to the one implemented by Apple, where one simple click resulted in wiping out 2/3 of Meta’s ad revenue.
Check it out next time you visit Europe (or if you have access to a EU-based VPN). Mind boggling. But hey, at least now they forced all-USBC on phones (filling up landfills with billions of Lightning cables, well played)

My understanding is the basis for the parent is that it’s an oxymeter on a watch. How in the world was something so general given as a patent to begin with?  Ridiculous. 

Your understanding is not correct. Maybe you should actually read the patents before spouting nonsense.

Thanks for clearing up. Appreciate the extra douchiness 👍

Clearing up what? It’s a ridiculous patent for an oxymeter on a watch, with tons of brand-X infringing products selling on Amazon for $30. Should never have been granted to begin with. Masimo only went after Apple because they saw dollar signs. F them.

Maybe we’ll be able to sideload it back in how funny would that be?
