Speculating: this is why I expect the heavy computing will probably be offloaded to an iPhone via a new wireless protocol, possibly one that's specifically certified for it (an "iPhone AR^?") with beefier specs and a better battery, possibly larger in size to compensate. Essentially allows the lenses to focus on only being a display at that point, which would let apple keep the footprint thin and partner with existing manufacturers e.g Luxottica, Marcolin, Safilo, etc. ^changed XR (extended reality) to AR per a reminder that the XR was an iPhone X variant not long ago

iPhone XR was a consumer-priced version of the iPhone X: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_XR https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_XR

  they clearly made a typo and meant the iPhone VR

    to their credit, I actually did mean XR (extended reality), but alas. VR/AR are fine. MR sounds weird in context even though it's broader (mixed reality).

      I wasn't really trying to imply the typo, but used it as a comedic device to make an iPhone VR unfunny

Is there a technology for wireless communication that exists that has a small enough delay to make this happen? Certainly it’s a problem well under speed of light constraints, but VR apps need to be running at least 90 hz to avoid making users ill. That’a just over 11 ms so basically any time is going to be felt.
