> It's Ray-ban smart glasses is already a huge hit.

Sure, "huge hit". Anecdote but the only time Ive ever seen anyone wear one was when I interviewed at meta and one of the folks interviewing me was wearing them.

Also, completely anecdotal, but the only people I’ve ever seen wearing them are Facebook employees.

I'm getting Google Glass flashbacks.

Here's Nat Friedman saying he's a DAU of them: https://x.com/natfriedman/status/1796986709751759304

> DAU

"Daily active user" apparently.

DAU is really a common terminology used in mobile web apps and games(aka modern day tobacco and gambling).

Well now we know at least one person uses them.

He's the CEO of EssilorLuxottica saying that they've sold more units of the latest version in a few months than the previous version did in 2 years.

These things ARE selling, the product is just early.

The CEO of a company selling them says he likes them, and they are selling more quickly than a product which flopped. I am not particularly swayed by this information!

Hope you're sitting down, because the next iPhone is going to be the Best iPhone Ever.

I would absolutely die of laughter if Tim Cook came on stage and said "we worked really hard and we think you will agree, this iPhone is definitely in our top 3 iPhone models ever released. It is really quite good. Seriously, its nearly as good as last year's model, which was great!"
