Reply to comment by theo2112 in Kuo: Apple Headset Shipments Potentially Delayed (Again) Until Second Half of 2023 by BiscuitOfGinger

I’m not so sure this time, I think that Google, Samsung, etc have figured out by now that they shouldn’t be first to market. Wait until Apple releases theirs, and that’s the blueprint to iterate on.

Agreed. Others are playing or have played in the space. But there is a very good chance that whatever apple releases becomes the standard experience and then everyone shifts to copy as much as they legally can.

Samsung and google have already put out headsets. Samsung had gear vr which was pretty good for what it was. And google had one too. Neither were amazing in the long run.

And they both know they sucked and ceased public iteration. VR/AR 2.0 is coming, they’re waiting for Apple to make the next move.

Samsung also had a WMR headset, in the form of the Odyssey+.

And they all suck. They are waiting for Apple to make a move and see what they can copy.

Your statement is so contradictive. Others have produced product, but are waiting to copy apple?

Sounds like, once again, others do the pioneering, then apple will step in, release an overpriced underperformer.

Performance specs will be average at best, but apple will claim some new retna display bullshit, fans will eat it up.

Dont get me wrong, its a great business model, it works for apple.

It’s not contradictive it’s how it’s been so far. Apple is late to the game but makes a product that actually works, and everybody tweaks theirs to copy what Apple does.
