What Apple gets right are all the tiny details that make it feel like an AR pass-through device. Aside from the impressive spec differences that are required for usability, these are the things they focused on that really matter to me from a user perspective:

1. No noticeable lag due to very high refresh rate

2. The viewpoint and perspective of the cameras mimics your actual view almost exactly

3. AR-first, and user-friendly VR shows other people when they approach you

4. Quick, accurate eye tracking and comfortable gesture controls
