Stop it. It's not an "apple Vision pro clone". Its an AR/MR headset
Those have existed for fuckin years.
Classic apple bullshit to claim old tech
don't you know, apple invented wireless charging!
Invented mp3 players, touchscreens, smart phones, tablets, smart assistants, wireless earbuds, wireless charging, smart watches, AR goggles
oh wait.
The way I see it, there a pattern:
Some companies rush some new tech to market and it’s clunky / not user-friendly / a flop.
Apple releases their own version of same tech, but it has a refined user-friendly interface that’s popular and successful.
The other companies work to revise their products to match Apple’s successful version.
Haters all scramble to say “Apple didn’t do it first, blah blah blah…”

i'm not an apple hater either, this is just such an obvious one. It's AR glasses within their walled garden.
If you're not in the apple ecosystem it's even worse.
