Thats a good point and I'd still argue that yes they would because the end goal is truly immersive AR glasses. I also could see them releasing a "kinda" AR to begin with that would set the products apart.

>Apple cannot bypass the laws of physics, and there are many physical limitations with AR today even if they've made multiple breakthroughs.

I was gonna say how so, but to be honest I'd agree in some sense. They may be a little short on full AR but much less so with on display glasses that while they aren't fully immersive AR are still moving in the right direction. Which would be in Apples wheel house of release and iterate.

I don't know about that, that is all just speculation. Like I said earlier Apple has been able to do tremendous things with their watches. I could absolutely see them releasing glasses with thicker bands to house the board and battery. Speculating they could put the battery in one band and the board in the other. The screens/viewport is the real, no one knows.

All the recent articles about Apples difficulties could be misdirection so when they do drop their glasses, it has a bigger impact. I don't know though I'm just speculating. You absolutely could be correct.

I don't know, they absolutely could release Apple glasses. They have the capability given what they can do with their watches with concern to screen and battery. But the whole AR/VR headset seems kinda far fetched IMHO as VR doesn't fit well into their lifestyle ethos with concern to their gadgets.
