With the iPhone XR being an existing namesake and "Android" being first understood to many as a type of phone, I don't think this was a good naming convention idea for a completely different category of product.
- rodiger 2y agoI don't think most consumers are familiar with the iPhone XR. They know iPhone, and maybe iPhone X, but I don't think the naming will be an issue here.

- dagmx 2y agoXR is common as a name for the space. OpenXR, WebXR. Even visionOS is actually xrOS if you look at the SDK.
- iAMkenough 2y agoFrom a developer perspective, that's true. I don't think the average consumer shares the same perspective.
- dagmx 2y agoTrue but does the average customer care that it’s running Android either?

- ryandvm 2y agoDon't worry, it will be abandoned and recreated multiple times in the next 10 years anyway.
- typeofhuman 2y agoIt'll be sunsetted before then.
- prophesi 2y agoMy first impression was that they're bringing back something similar to Cardboard/Daydream. Agree that the naming is confusing on several levels, whether you're familiar with XR as nomenclature for VR/AR or not.
