Its not comparable. At that time, phone was already a necessity for most folks and most had one. VR (they are not AR from outside)? Still 90% of folks around me (doctors, IT, rest of reality) think whole concept of VR/AR is for kids and... big old kids lets say. Also it costs 10x as much with huge drawback above. Inflation makes this a smaller number but the difference is still massive, for a plastic toy soon to be obsolete looking like kids ski googles. But if they persist, which all reviews seem to hang their overall positive rating on, magic we all hope for might eventually happen

> Its not comparable. At that time, phone was already a necessity for most folks and most had one. A cell phone was necessary, but a smart phone was not. At the time, most people were still using non-smart cell phones. It’s still a valid comparison. > Still 90% of folks around me (doctors, IT, rest of reality) think whole concept of VR/AR is for kids This is exactly why Apple insists on only using the term “spatial computing” in order to fight the strange bias people have for something they haven’t even tried yet > But if they persist, which all reviews seem to hang their overall positive rating on, magic we all hope for might eventually happen Yes, it mirrors the reviews for the original iPhone
