Prepare for Apple Stock's WWDC23 Explosion | VR Headset Demands

uh today is also apple day so it'll be

fascinating to see and five hours apple

day begins uh apple day is expected to

announce their VR uh headset they're

they're dived into virtual reality

apparently it's expected to have a

detached battery pack and something that

you can wear here and cable into it or

maybe Bluetooth into it I'm not sure I

think the cable tethering well no

because if it's a detached battery pack

it's got to be cabled in so you cable it

in where did you put in your pocket or

something potentially and uh

yeah it's been three thousand bucks I

guess on some sort of VR slash AR tool

the one thing I'm excited about is this

idea that you could potentially uh look

at

or use it in such a way where the

augmented reality actually is something

that you could basically turn on and off

uh and this I think is very interesting

because much like the uh watch you know

how it has maybe you don't I don't know

if you'll be able to see yeah see the

little scrolly wheel right right here it

went out of focus like right when I

touched it anyway there's a little

scrolly wheel there it is this little

scrolling wheel imagine if you scroll it

you're like in VR and then you scroll it

the other way and you're an AR augmented

reality that'd be kind of cool I

actually think that's a pretty brilliant

idea where you know for me the future of

These reality headsets at least for the

next 10 years is uh augmented reality

you know is this is this going to be a

tool that I could put on and be more

productive in my workplace if I could be

more productive in my workplace with

this headset

it's going to be a business tool and

then all of a sudden as soon as you call

something a business tool remember what

that means

it means people can write it off so just

because it's three thousand dollars

doesn't matter if you can write it off

it's actually only like 1500 to 1800

bucks now you're talking about like iPad

Pro level with a case of of spending

iPad Pro with spec with a case and a pen

is like almost two grand it's crazy but

anyway

uh now now it potentially knocks on the

door of a little bit more reasonableness

if it could have function for for

business if for example it can make you

more productive while you like

personally an idea of like my my dream

for this headset

would be that I could put it in my

pocket the pocket thing is really

important because I want to be able like

there's one thing in my life that really

I haven't figured out how to optimize

yet and because I haven't figured out

how to optimize it yet I just don't

really do it and that's go to the gym

and what's frustrating is and I know I

have like problems everybody's got

problems but this is what I mean don't

make fun of me okay

I get anxiety when I go to the gym

because I'm like

like you go do a bench press and you're

like come on man I could be researching

right now what is this and I try to

listen to other stuff

but the others the others options that

there are aren't that great and you

listen to like the the mainstream TV

it's the same thing on Loop all day long

if uh you know you you I I don't know I

maybe I just haven't found the right

podcasters I I don't know

but it's been frustrating

so for me I end up not listening to

anything or I try to listen to to the TV

and it's terrible uh so then I I resort

to music but usually I like listening to

music when I'm actually doing something

productive like researching or

bookkeeping or whatever so workout time

is terrible for me I don't know why it

just drives me nuts so

if this is a headset where maybe there'd

be a way to like work while you're

working out that's where I think the

opportunity is how can you let people

work

while they're doing other things now

here's another extreme example and I'm

going to say extreme here because I

don't want people to be like oh that's

not safe Kevin but imagine you could

while you're driving be wearing this

headset and it's augmented reality right

and you could just have like a Siri

conversation with it over like your

messages or something because it's like

beaming it in front of you I don't know

probably wouldn't be safe but I have no

idea maybe there's a way to make that

safe but the point is this can't be like

another a quest like The Meta Quest or

whatever where basically you put the

sucker on in your living room and its

purpose is for you to use while you're

at home look while I'm at home

I got Xbox I got PlayStation we got DDR

we got rust on the computer we got Age

of Empires on the computer I can do

research I got TV I could also go

outside and stop playing video games and

go card or cyber quad or Nerf gun or

whatever

I think this could be a game changer of

a tool if it could fill in these odd

times when maybe you're commuting on a

bus or you know the car one's probably a

little risky but we'll see or or even

like your I don't know on a plane or or

just places where like it's hard to be

productive and it's somehow fake it like

has figured out Apple's figured out how

to make you productive in a new way and

if you could sell it to an audience

under the guise of productivity

Apple wins my take so so we'll see what

happens Joanna Stern did a piece on it

today uh let's see what what her take

was the release event is in five hours

it's at 10 A.M and uh Joanna Stern's

piece on it speculates on the following

she thinks it'll cost and usually the

wsj gets a good heads up on these things

because that Apple uses it to kind of

like

preview Market reactions Wall Street

Journal believes it'll be about three

thousand dollars many capabilities which

could include a FaceTime like

communication app but see that's not

good enough like honestly

I can't even remember the last time I

used FaceTime I think when FaceTime I

actually I remember when FaceTime came

out okay this this shows you how much of

a like an apple nerd I feel like I am

but when the iPhone I want to say was

the iPhone 4 came out so it went I found

one iPhone 3G iPhone 4 the iPhone 4 had

FaceTime but guess what when we got our

phones Lauren and I were in Santa Monica

we get our phones

and we're like oh let's try FaceTiming

each other this is so cool then you try

to do it it's like can't FaceTime over

3G connect to Wi-Fi and it's like what's

the point so anyway uh that was our

first sort of intro to FaceTime uh

obviously now today you can FaceTime

anywhere but but who actually facetimes

anyone I mean family maybe I suppose I

like FaceTime audio that's great because

I have really bad service where I am

FaceTime audio is fantastic because when

I see blue text I just FaceTime audio

people but anyway

uh let's go back to Joanna Stern's piece

here but by announcing the launch at its

developer conference uh oh a developer

conference if you're traveling to the

developer conference you're going to be

around all the Apple crazy fans make

sure you also have that life insurance

you can get in as little as five minutes

by going back kevin.com life uh that's

the wrong button or by going to uh the

link to us down below uh Met kevin.com

Life sign up for life insurance in

lizilla's five minutes all right it's

clear paid promotion it's clear that

apple is hopping uh hoping rather

third-party developers will figure out

new and interesting uses for the device

I don't know if that's such a great idea

but we'll see virtual reality developers

are hoping Apple will reignite interest

in the category that has been slowing

down all right I don't know while the

new headset is likely to steal most of

the attention the company is planning a

Refresh on various Hardware platforms uh

maybe iPhone iPad I mean the iPhone's

usually its own event in September so

probably not iPhone but maybe we'll see

some news about the iPad and the watch

and the Mac Apple's new iPhone operating

system iOS 17 will include a number of

new health features great that's it

that's all they have on the headset now

the new hardware headset tools for

Developers

the applications which may run a gamut

from games to workplace apps are

critical to the company strategy

fantastic uh sales dropped of the meta

unlikely to be available right away mass

production isn't expected until the fall

lame

uh first year estimates expected to be

200 to 300 000. I or 300 200 to 300 000

units that's a lot more than 200 300 000

I don't know we'll see uh I I'll put it

this way I'm optimistic but I remain

skeptical that it's going to be

something actually functional if they

find something functional though uh that

the the stock will perform very very

well and I'm confident of that if they

find something functional but if there's

not something functional that actually

convinces a business use case here I'm

not very optimistic on uh this this

apple headset I there's a risk of it

just being another meta uh where where

you know they're spending billions of

dollars on reality labs and it's just

not going anywhere now who knows maybe

that'll end up being a great investment

10 years from now and we'll get ready

player one world uh in IRL but uh we

shall see now I want you to know this

when it comes to AI time is what's going

to make you money and if you can prove

that value to an employer you'll always

be able to be employed so this is

another way of making sure that you

don't get replaced but
