What Happened

Also: The latest on the foldable iPhone.

Our Take

Look, this is just another attempt to slap a shiny wrapper on hardware. Apple doesn't care about competing with Meta on style; they care about integration and ecosystem lock-in. These glasses are an exercise in feature parity, not a revolutionary leap.

The real battle isn't the camera shape; it's whether the hardware genuinely solves a unique problem or if it's just an expensive add-on. If it costs $1500 and offers incremental updates, it's just noise.

What To Do

Don't chase aesthetic trends; focus on utility.

What Skeptics Say

Apple has repeatedly delayed consumer wearables — AI glasses face the same battery, heat, privacy, and social acceptance barriers that killed Google Glass, and oval cameras don't resolve the fundamental form-factor problem that limits daily wearability.
