It was the centerpiece of the event and highly touted by Apple. Mashable's Stan Schroeder covered the launch in depth, but the headset features no controllers and a see-through display that promises to put a digital landscape over the real world. It's an entirely new kind of product from Apple and, though reviewers haven't gotten their hands on it yet, it could mark the beginning of a new reality for spatial computing.
Anyway, the internet mostly joked about the battery cord that attaches to the headset. (You carry the external battery pack.)

There was also the case of how people might look all wrapped up in the goggle-like headset, even if they might think it's cool.

And how will Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, who now has a big-time competitor, react? People have thoughts on that too.
