Oooff ... I don't think it's like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.

Not that a wearable assistant doesn't make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they're good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by ... checks notes ... relying entirely on other companys' new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other "smart" devices we have just don't exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars ... really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.

It's an interesting idea and I see sth like this being used by people who struggle with using tiny phone screens or computers in general, like my grandparents.

I highly doubt someone who's struggling with a phone is going to do well with a screen projected on your hand that has very sensitive hand interaction requirements.

Good point. I'm mostly talking about the voice interaction part tho
