As a self proclaimed Apple-hater, I wouldn't count them out. I laugh at every new product line and then in 2 years I see it everywhere (watches, iPads).

- CamperBob2 4y agoiPad was something that I knew I wanted, but I was skeptical that anyone else would want it. Apple Watch was something I couldn't imagine anyone wanting, and, frankly, still is. Why would I wear a watch when I have a phone with me 24/7?! Outside of niche applications like running, I'll always be completely befuddled by the success of smartwatches. Watches just don't have a place in my world model anymore. VR falls into a similar category. I don't want it -- although I can envision limited applications for AR -- but it seems a lot of other people do. Sometimes we have to just admit that our perceptions and prejudices are out of line with the reality of the marketplace.
- steve1977 4y agoI see the smart watch primarily as a fitness and health device. Which wouldn’t necessarily have to be from Apple of course.
- jonplackett 4y agoI also didn’t get it for a long time. til I got one - and started going running a lot. Now I love it.
- fomine3 4y agoI was surprised that so many people care about health and they want to do real exercise.
- mlajtos 4y agoVR is one of those things that sounds stupid and useless until you try it out. Being “inside” the software, and not looking at it, can’t be adequately described. Unfortunately I haven’t had this feeling with AR yet. AR that makes distinction between reality and virtuality imperceptible. Passthrough mode on Quests and PSVR2 just isn’t there yet. (Varjo might be..?) I hope Apple will deliver this experience for the masses.
