It very likely is.

I completely agree. Smartphones turned out to be as much of a hardware issue (capacitive touch screens) as a software issue. AR won't go mainstream until someone releases something revolutionary, which will likely be an AR smart glasses device that looks like a pair of normal eye glasses. This could be Meta. My money is on Apple.

I think it comes down to whether Meta's suite of applications (Facebook, WhatsApp, & Instragram) are still popular once consumer AR becomes viable.
