I think Apple might have a stronger moat this time, even purely from a technology point of view. I think "EyeSight" is a bigger deal than some people make of it just yet. I think Apple really did crack something technically that Meta (or anyone else, except for maybe Microsoft's HoloLens) isn't well-placed to duplicate, especially because Apple made it clear they've patented it and a lot of related parts to it and may not be in a mood to license such things just yet. "EyeSight" may seem like a gimmick in demo videos, but I've got the impression it truly was a key missing stair step to general usability for AR/VR. (Also, I agree, Meta's playbook could be to try to be the somewhat more open platform here. I doubt that's Meta's vision of what they are doing though.)
