Apple's ARKit release has opened many people's eyes to the potential of AR as the true nextgen platform. Made possible by apples truly vertically integrated hardware/software biz. Especially in comparison to goog with their stillborn Project Tango due to the huge android platform fragmentation. So how is a magic leap worth $6b? Consider that Android generated in excess of $31billion in revenue by Jan '16(1). Having a "killer app" to capture market share in the coming AR consumer platform wars is easily worth that price of admission and if ML pulls it off $6b will look cheap. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-21/google-s-android-generates-31-billion-revenue-oracle-says-ijor8hvt https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-21/google-s-...
