With speculation of a potential reveal next week! Looks like the 2020 rumour could be true. I can see the "20 20 vision" headlines now
I mean, they were talking about Innovation. And for Apple that means taking something someone has already done and doing it again pretending like they came up with it.
Google Glass exists.. so this seems reasonable.

I never 'got' AR. It just seems like nobody cares, who doesn't mentally tune out during the AR sections of Apple conferences?
Google glass was ass and looked stupid. Plus the techbros wearing them all seemed to be assholes
If these are actual AR glasses they share no lineage with Google Glass. Hololens for sure but then, the difference would be these are a viable commercial product with a good user interface. Just like every other time Apple have done this.
Even so, I don't buy it. I'll be stunned if they announce something this year. We're like 3 years off in my clueless opinion.
I think AR has just been premature. Once it's fully fleshed out and seamless it'll be everywhere.
I have no doubt in my mind that AR is the next thing, needs glasses or some head mounted solution though, I hope they are ready in the next few years.
It's all been laying the ground work, refining the technology for the inevitable glasses.
I also have no clue but I agree. I assumed we were still a few years off from it being consumer ready.
Huh, the evidence is mounting. I really don't believe we will see it because its just doesn't seem technically feasible right now but if so, I'm gonna be pumped. Perhaps just a preview? But then again, it's the consumer event and they would certainly be more careful showing stuff prematurely after the airpower debacle. We will see. 8 days to go!
But Google Glass was arguably a proof of concept device in the first place, and in the end, people didn't want to wear them. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, the ideal "Apple difference" is that they make something in a way you want to use or can get used to.
Apple's wireless fetish has definitely made for some questionable I/O in notebook Macintoshes recently, but Apple also offered W1, making pairing for wireless audio pretty non-eventful. Apple was hardly the first to make a smart watch, but most of the people wearing smart watches choose Apple's nowadays.
Or taking something that was half-baked before and actually using using and presenting it in an actually well-thought out way, which is literally the opposite of Google
The funny thing about these takes is that people think that the Apple customers assume Apple invented x feature that MS/Samsung/etc already had. Nobody thinks that. It's more about being in their ecosystem and being glad that they get to use the feature now without having to change up their entire line of products.
The comic was released a year BEFORE the iPad Pro/Keyboard.
This sentiment has always come off to me as the "First!!1!" comments of the tech world.
There's a difference between being first to have a feature, which may still need to mature, and finding the best implementation of it down the line.
that's literally the definition of innovate.
make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.
it seems inevitable, an AR glasses thing, so I'm not surprised by that. but it's going to be a tall order packing all that stuff in, I'm guessing any AR glasses will need an iPhone sidecar for processing for a long while yet.
Packaging technology into a user friendly interface, and making it work for a mass market *is* innovation in itself. Google Glass "exists" bit is abandonware, and never resonated with a mass market
Not to mention Google Glass wasn't true AR. It was heads up display and a perv camera.
What Apple is presumably working on is their version of Hololens.
