The assumption that it’s v1 and will only get better seems to miss the physics and battery limitations. Magic Leap spent billions trying to overcome the physics of seeing in high definition. How soon we forget…
Moreover, are the latest iPhones or iPads really that much better than the first versions, each seems like incremental improvements, not dramatic leaps forward.
- mikeyouse 3y agoThese two points seem related; * The assumption that it’s v1 and will only get better seems to miss the physics and battery limitations * Are the latest iPhones or iPads really that much better than the first versions Batteries are one of the few things aside from the camera and screen resolution where things are substantially and obviously better from a decade ago. The iPhone 5S was released a decade ago - it had a 1,560mah battery that weighed ~40g and got you 10 hours of video playback at 1136-by-640 resolution. The iPhone 15 Pro has a 3,300 mah battery that weighs about the same and provides over 20 hours of playback at 2556‑by‑1179 resolution. Similar improvements int he AVP's batteries would be a huge boon.
