Was thinking they should have made it an accessory to the iphone instead. Have the iphone do all the compute and glasses just have sensors. It’s already wired because of the battery: it would weigh much less, iphone has magsafe portable battery for that extra juice, and would cost less (more adoption too)
Won’t be surprised if some android manufacturer like xiaomi release something like this.
Also, makes sense why Meta kept the form factor because they never had their own mobile device!
Given that this has an M2 and a dedicated sensor processing chip the size of an M2 I have a feeling the power draw and heat generated would be unusable with a phone in a pocket. I bet they'll go in this direction with a non-Pro version in four years or so when chips catch up.
true i read the m2 on ipad 2 gets hot when playing games. And iPhones don’t have fans.
Maybe it’s apple trying to push the limits of this tech, a16 bionic compared to m2 is like 40% slower in the various computational performances so won’t be surprised to see the form factor show up in android devices soon for sure.
