    It’s Apple, which is a dealbreaker for me. Everything Apple is proprietary. All the OS, all the apps, everything is locked down. Last I used it, you can’t even compile your own software for Apple platforms without paying a massive fee.

    I will wait to buy the open source AR goggles, even if it makes me 10 years late to the bandwagon.

          Developers need to get comparatively exensive apple machines to develop software for apple’s operating systems. That’s what I meant. In many cases you need to pay premium for ports to iOS or Mac because of that.
