If Vision Pro wins, its likely because of the higher-res (so virtual monitors become usable) and the ecosystem (any iOS apps + projecting Apple devices).

The 'trust' factor may play into it too. For years, we've seen Meta and Apple bicker about privacy. I don't think this was just for fun; I think this was for the upcoming headset war we're going to witness.

Do you trust Meta or Apple with eye tracking data?

Apple pushes an update so that FB needs to ask you for permission for tracking. You think that's just being noble? It's because they want to become an ad company too[1], at the cost of destroying countless SMBs in the meantime.

I'm not sure how long this trust is going to last.

That's the thing. I don't trust facebook at all. After many years, I switched to Apple (Mac) and I don't fight as much as before. Heck, I'm now learning Swift/SwiftUI just because that by the time we get version 3, We could program something similar to what Tony Stark has at home (fingers crossed).

Now, fb is still "sharing" with the community (React, Pytorch, Prophet, etc...), so at least on that front they're winning.
