That’s going to be a hard pass for me. I don’t want to be forced into invasive upgrades every few years when my chip is out of date.
Also I don’t trust big tech to not use it to spy on me or lock basic functionality behind micro transactions or subscriptions.

fair enough, never thought about the process of needing to upgrade a chip once it became obsolete

I would probably feel a little better if it was something noninvasive that you could wear and take off anytime.

has this announcement changed your views on whether you’ll get an apple vision pro or similar devices?

Not really. I’ve tried VR/AR headsets before and while the tech is cool (especially the Vision Pro based on what I’ve heard) there’s no killer app that would make my life better or easier.
The AR/VR device category is still quite young, however, so I could see that changing in 5-10 years. Especially if they can get the tech to fit into regular eye glasses.
For now I’m taking a wait and see approach.
