Intel to Introduce Wi-Fi 7 in 2024 as Apple Plans Imminent Move to Wi-Fi 6E

Communicating with a NAS on your home network for large file transfers is really the only use I can see. It's not like >gigabit consumer connections exist anywhere, though there is a bit of a chicken and egg situation there of course.

ha, i think you might have a bit of a wait. apple has a tendency to sit on new products for a long time while they wait for the market to develop and while they work out UX, supply chain, and marketing issues. also, the cadence of product releases is yearly, so if there isn't an optimal slot this year, they'll push launch back a year just for that reason.

despite the rumors, i don't think we see the headset in the next 3 years, and we won't get an apple car in the next 7. there's no competitive nor wall street pressure for either of these rumored product developments (as in, there's no threat to apple if these aren't released sooner rather than later).

i will say the headset fits apple's future product roadmap better than the car, because apple wants to firmly own personal computing tech, which is increasingly miniaturizing and becoming more pervasive/integrated into our lives. the car is a nice extension, but not core to that vision. even apple home is more central to that vision than the car.
