Oooff … I don’t think it’s like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.
Not that a wearable assistant doesn’t make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they’re good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by … checks notes … relying entirely on other companys’ new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other “smart” devices we have just don’t exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars … really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.
It’s an interesting idea and I see sth like this being used by people who struggle with using tiny phone screens or computers in general, like my grandparents.
I highly doubt someone who’s struggling with a phone is going to do well with a screen projected on your hand that has very sensitive hand interaction requirements.
Good point. I’m mostly talking about the voice interaction part tho
