VR just isn’t going to happen for a long time. It does have a real purpose or a strong drive to use. I have meta 3 and i played for a bit but then it ended up on the shelf for a variety of reasons.

It has a lot of good specific uses but struggles past that.

It continued to be very impressive technology wise but something that wont be adopted en mass for a long time. Tim Cook was right to be worried about this product - should have trusted his intuition on that one.



Don't you worry, Apple is still looking for a product market fit. And when you have enough billions, do enough brainstorming and cool ad videos you can actually find things that never existed in the first place. Then we will see mass adoption of this millennials' dream tech.


I'm going to try out the new travel mode on a transatlantic flight tomorrow - mildly excited by the possibility of escaping the claustrophobic confines of 11 hours in an airplane.


When you say "a long time" do you mean 2026, or 2029?


2030s
