So imagine there’s a new multi billion market in Augmented Reality. Apple wants to enter it but there’s a formidable player, Meta in the field already. Meta is minting money with its social media platform and channeling those billions to fund the new virtual world. Apple does not have so many billions to spare so what does it do? It flexes its iOS arm. Suddenly Apple becomes the privacy safe keeper of the world. Facebook can no longer know users location or other info and hence no longer can show meaningful Ads. It no longer can dump billions into AR. Now Apple announces their headset. Yeah, may be a fictional Hollywood type story but well played Apple. #apple #meta
gg
I can understand your hype, but let’s see how many headsets apple sells first, I wouldn’t be so optimistic.
It’s named pro so the target customers are not normal users in the beginning.
You understand it, right? The target audience of this first gen is not people like you and me. It’s mainly high end developers, enterprises who pay AR developers etc. We also know it won’t sell like iPhones. It’s just first gen to gauge the market, enthusiasm.
Apple holds more cash than most countries.
Meta still at benefit, Oculus will be poor man visionPro.
The real question is: what are we going to do with HoloLens?
HoleInTheLens
Facebook market cap in 2020: $778B Apple market cap in 2020: $2.25T Clearly Apple didn't have as many billions. That was it.
Nobody does ecosystems like Apple 🔥
So when are we going to get that Playboy VR app?
In the works sir 🫡
Why do we have to pretend this is a fiction? It’s so obvious. Facebook lost the platform war to Apple. They are a bunch of overpaid php developers. They can’t compete with Apple
Meta has already recovered from Apple's privacy changes. It's why our stonk is up
Sure lol
Your stonk is up because your boss laid off a quarter of the company and pumped 30 billion dollars of buyback to prop up the stock. Enjoy it while it lasts :)

Apple does not have so many billions? What are you smoking bro
“Spare billions” is the keyword bro, otherwise you wouldn’t be a poo_l4 now wouldn’t you 😜
can i have some of what you’re smoking because i want to achieve that level of delusional as well. “Apple cash on hand for the quarter ending March 31, 2023 was $55.872B, a 8.47% increase year-over-year.” https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/cash-on-hand
