iPhones have only gotten bigger over time. To make a product dramatically smaller and lighter without severe compromises on performance and fidelity is extremely difficult. Just compare ear buds with proper ear-enclosing headphones.
Vision is no different: it’s just very difficult to build tiny, low power, ultra-high resolution displays. Then actually driving these displays is very difficult to do in a tiny package, due to the computing power requirements.

- chongli 3y agoThe rationale for embiggening the iPhone (screen size and ergonomics) doesn't apply to headsets. That's missing the point. My comment wasn't about rationales, it was about the difficulty of miniaturization. The fact that the iPhone got larger -- and that consumers demanded a larger phone -- took all the pressure off the miniaturization program. That will not be the case for the VP.
