- TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Meta Orion AR Glasses! They're not real! YOU can't buy them! HOW will Apple react???
Over a decade of Apple Glasses hype, and we're still pretending that AR glasses are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! These aren't real products yet, and we're missing incredible opportunities to make more accessible products for consumers. This is so frustrating...

Hell, the reason I follow you is because you were the ONLY PERSON I found covering phones that weren't Apple and Samsung
Ben's Gadget Reviews does plenty, often from [and of models available] outside the US. He shows Apple and Samsung are far less innovative than they think. Juan's analysis is better, of course.
@@impulsesystems thanks, it's always nice to get some extra opinions though
TechTablets does a lot of Android stuff, too. But he's in Europe so many of the phones he covers don't have the band support for the US (many do, tho). He's also pretty honest. I've bought a number of things he recommended and found them as described (good AND bad points).
While I still use Samsung, it's always good to know , there is more than just apples and oranges.. plus , it helps spread the word out that other phones can "it just works"
Competition is the only fun part.
videos like this are exactly the reason why i subbed to you in the first place, you don't give a sh*t what big tech companies think of you, you spit straight out facts.
Lemme tell you how much money you DONT make with this strategy LOL.
@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah that must suck :/ these tech giants should be thankful for the few honest experts who are calling them out and making suggestions for improvements, but honesty and constructive criticism is what they fear, cause it means they have to move their lazy asses.
but you haven't lost your dignity, haven't sold your soul like all these other "reviewers" that have turned into advertisement husks, and you and your work are GREATLY appreciated by many!
seriously, your knowledge of phone cameras and mobile photography alone is second to none, you know all the details about sensor size, aperture, pixel binning and so on, all the other tech tubers are only talking about megapickles🥒, even giant channels like mkbhd, it's kinda mind-blowing.
@@SomeGadgetGuy 🤣
I have a bunch of "innovative" and "daring" Android phones in my house, a Galaxy S23, Surface Duo, Xiami Mix 3, Essential PH-1 all of them newer than my wife's iphone 8 and she still uses hers reliably and will not give it up until the day the battery cannot hold a single electron.
God I love your refreshing straight talking rambeling. Dont worry though, you wont have long to wait, Apple Glass Vision Pro Plus is just around the corner.
IT JUST WORKS!
And this time it will only be $2500. A bargain! Don't ask questions, just consume product...........
WHAT ARE NEXT??? CONSUME PRODUCT!!!
You and TK bay's in depth and honest experiences with XREAL AND Rokkid glasses help me take a leap into an entirely new category of tech. Not only do you guys present really well but you cover all your bases of possible use cases for the average and diehard consumer. You guys are also knowledgeable enough where you see the forest from the trees on ambitious product or companies that try to do something different but dont shy away of giving honest feedback when needed. It is honestly refreshing. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate that. Guys like TK give me hope for the future of our hobby. The main reason I started digging into this was to meet other fun geeks who also care about bigger issues.
yeah because a lot of the tech youtubers are Apple sheeps.
And those Apple sheeps are the ones responsible for the killing of less popular brands, particularly LG. Even Sony seems to be heading that way too.
It pays the bills better. I can tell you that...
I am an Apple user and I approve this message 100%! You are right I’ve been here long enough and in the last 3 years I’ve been BORING, you and another 2 RUclipsrs are keeping here for the great work.
Right? It's not helping Apple fans. You don't get better products when Apple isn't being constructively criticized, or when good competitive options aren't given credit. It's a lot less fun...
Meta Ray Bans have been the biggest jump in wearable tech since google glass, and it's actually quite popular in mainstream crowd. Now with the AI assistant integration it's actually quite good, but still the recording limit of 3 minutes is too low for me at least. 15-30 minutes and streaming would be good enough for basically all my needs.
And that's an audio system. Now add oleds and try and make it through your day on tiny batteries...
I came here for the word of the day: 'highjinkery'
It's such a fun word!
Tomfoolery, monkeyshines, clowning, and highjinkery 😁
I love how you explain why I can't stand Apple in a nutshell. It's the fanboys mostly and the fact that Apple get loved for other people's work. Really telling what happens when you capture people's imagination. For me , I was a fan until I realized that they locked their otherwise powerful hardware for reasons for hyper profits and to me, that kinda destroyed their anti-corp campaign back when they were cosplaying a rebel company. No company is out friend and apple definitely left us on read.
It sucks a lot of the fun out of a good tech fight when you can see how a RUclips algorithm "encourages" creators to point their opinions in specific directions.
@@SomeGadgetGuy yes, honestly, you and a few other tech youtubers albeit small ones, i follow for when i really need an actual opinion rather than , s24 ultra vs iphone 16, look, it's 3% faster than last years model...our software is still the same so no difference there. big ones like LTT , i follow just for the entertainment white noise segment when i'm doing work. It's sad really that algorithm can bury you in an instance if you don't follow the trend , like i swear if you use diddy as your youtube video title right now, you'll probably get a few million views lol. btw, do you think it's worth getting the xreal glasses? i have been looking at it, thinking if i should. I use both windows and macOS and i specifically use android for my phone and tablet mostly.
"What phone would Diddy smuggle into Prison??? iPhone 16 vs Galaxy S24 FE AI Gone Sexual!!!"
The Orion glasses are not a concept; they are a product that they just can't ship yet because the technology is too expensive to make right now (also not high volume).
PoTAYto, poTAHto.
Regardless why, they aren't a real consumer facing option.
@@SomeGadgetGuy but they actually exist. AR glasses were only concepts for long so because they were literally impossible to achieve (ie how to do put an image in focus when it's a centimeter from your face)
@@SomeGadgetGuy You're moving the goal post. You said it was a concept and he explained why its not just a concept but an actual product. Just because consumers can't buy something doesn't men it doesn't exist in reality.
I'm really not. This is a pedantic exercise in "existence". Concept cars EXIST. They aren't real products. A physical thing called Orion EXISTS, and when a mass produced gadget makes it to market, it wont resemble Orion.
So no. There are no rich AR solutions in sleek frames. That product doesn't exist just because a physical concept can be shown off on stage.
For any future replies to this thread, I'm gonna say this and mute it because I have other stuff I need to do today.
We've had REAL affordable HUD products that people could buy and use.
From Google Glass to Focals by North, and Vuzix in the industrial space. Now we're playing with things like Frame and Even Realities or media glasses like Rokid and XREAL. All of these were/are practical new devices, that helped define new consumer experiences.
Orion is not any of that.
You would not want to own Orion in its current state.
It's a completely moot and waste-of-time "debate" to categorize Orion as anything other than an internal laboratory test device, that will eventually become a dev kit, and maybe in another five or so years, become an EXPENSIVE first gen consumer solution.
It kinda shows you missed the whole point of the video, how techies keep passing on real products they could afford to buy and enjoy today for the PROMISE of sci-fi that still wont work with another five years of research.
If that's your only criteria for something being "real" then we'll never see eye-to-eye on what kinds of consumer experiences we should be highlighting.
Enjoy your... nothing, I guess? Id rather use SOMETHING.
Media has the problem of leak culture and constantly making us look ahead to the point we can't enjoy the good things we have now. I remember seeing an article that said "forget the iphone 16, iphone 17 will have this key feature". Its so laughbly bad and on the nose
"WE NEED THOSE CLICKS!!!"
@@SomeGadgetGuy exactly 😂
Apple makes some good products but they're also overpriced... by a lot. I don't really get the hype surrounding them esp when they are anti-right-to-repair, have (up to this point) made it very difficult for third-party repair shops to service their stuff (complete with gotcha-style design choices designed to screw over the consumer), and their walled-garden app system is essentially a monopoly where all money flows to Apple. Do people **like** being food for the Corporations, 'cause that's what it feels like to me.
It's generational marketing, and a lack of accountability. Literally since the 1984 commercial in 1984, they've been a marketing company that makes cool tech. Since Tim Cook took over, that equation has been imbalanced. The marketing side getting heavier and heavier, while the "cool tech" part has mostly been a string of failures.
Except for M series ARM chips. That's the biggest success Apple has pulled off in a decade.
I was JUST reading an article in Ars Technica about what shenanigans people can get up to with AR glasses. Apparently, it's "easy" to get personal data from people wearing Meta's AR glasses. I'll wait...a good long time...before buying Meta or Apple's glasses, I guess.
It's not "easy" those were modified
That's the other issue with techies. This obstinate block against anything that sounds like "politics".
We nerds should be on the front line advising on things like Network Neutrality and consumer privacy protections.
Meta already knows everything about everyone, and now they want to know what people are looking at too ;-)
Thank you, only about 5% of the world population is in the US but the tech news is 95% from the US. I will learn Chinese and visit their websites ! I can't stand the standstill that Apple has caused in the western would. At least the Chinese still make interesting phones for not too much cash. (I am Dutch live in Thailand and buy IQoo phones)
Yup
Google and Samsung saw Apple making BANK in the USA and said "we can slow down innovation too!"
Anywho, Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, Honor, are all rocking my socks these days...
Hell yeah, only voice of reason in the tech world, this was a 1000% iPhone moment for the next step in computing; Had apple unveiled this product, the world would have ended.
A decade of hype videos, apple enthusiasts would have been freaking out. Now it's another on the list of "innovation doesnt matter, and nothing is worth supporting until apple invents this tech five years after..."
RUclips is hack right now...
The glass will be an extension of the smart device.
It was always going to be. roughly TEN years ago, I was on a podcast and I kept saying things like "if we're still just looking at our phones in five years, I think the industry will have failed consumers".
The idea was, we could move novel experiences to other devices, and keep the phone as a "brain" handling all the data. Thirteen years after Google Glass, we should be farther along...
Its very sad that Apple has become Microsoft, Microsoft became IBM back in the eighties. Is this just the inevitable course of capitalism?
And what the HECK is going on with Intel right?
It seems that the drive to squeeze ALL PROFIT EVERY QUARTER keeps killing companies on this cycle...
Oh, I was struggling to understand the title, but i get it now!
I try not to clickbait TOO hard, but RUclips prevents me from just telling you what the video is about. It's maddening. We always have to play some stupid game to "entice" (trick) you into clicking....
Bruh could you go to tech demos like this one so we can get your takes on them?
LOL Companies like these dont invite me to the real hands on stuff. That would be silly.
You always keep it real.
Thanks!
No no! Thank you 😊
I think the tech is cool. What do you think about what the Harvard students were able to do with Meta Ray bans
I love the research side, and it's fun seeing what the engineers come up with. Orion and Apple's mixed reality headset just aren't real consumer facing products. Over ten years from Google Glass, it's sad we still haven't worked out optical systems for consumers better.
As to the doxxing. It kinda just shows how desperate we are for better consumer protection/privacy laws. We need to make it really painful for big data companies to misstep with our info. If they can't handle that responsibility, they need to find another business model. Ditto Apple location tracking, credit cards, auto industry, banks, etc...
PREACH!
It does seem like in the USA Apple is a bit of a religious institution. Apple geniuses could probably be renamed to techpriests instead and nobody would bat an eyelid😆
And yes, now that you mention it (at length and in video format), you're absolutely right. Since Meta showcased their new glasses I've spotted a few of these myself, article titles such as "apple Air glasses" accompanied by concept renders or just some random ai image of super sleek glasses apple never even mentioned or announced.
That scroll I'm doing in this video is from ONE search result on "Apple Glasses", and I show about half the results I recorded in this. I gave up screen recording after about twenty minutes of scrolling... There are A LOT of results hyping Apple AR...
@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah that's insane
I totally doubt Apple would do something like that, especially when they are so serious about making a wearable standalone PC.
It's so frustrating. We could have been working this stuff out along the way. Like I just started playing with Frame, and it's inexpensive (and it is kinda "cheap") but it solves the issue of a Google Glass style prism not looking like a borg implant.
That's an evolution that should have happened in 2014. We're just now getting it today...
