    The widgets do have continuity, so you can have an app just on your phone and see the widget on you mac, so for instance, i can have the Myfitnesspal widget on my mac to see my hydration just there on the desktop.

    Some of my thoughts:

    It’s a very exciting product, I think this is the thing Meta wants to be but doesn’t have the “clout” for to ask.

    I have a Quest 2 and tried using it for this kind of stuff, it wasn’t great, reviews for the Quest pro said the same. Now, maybe the Quest 3 will come closer to this, but I feel Apple is willing to up the price to give you the best product.

    At first, I wasn’t happy with the external battery, but I get it, it’s not meant to be super mobile, but to be used at a desk or other stationary position with maximum comfort, being light and easy to use.

    I think the eye tracking is fantastic, since reaching forward all the time is the exact same reason apple never made a touchscreen iMac, it just makes your arms tired.

    I felt the last bit of the presentation was a bit like what I’d say when I was selling macs “it’s quite a bit of money, but it’s not expensive for what you’re getting”, and there’s some merit in that.

    Furthermore, I can see this living side by side with a quest 3 though, having one for everyday life and then the other for games, since, as much as Meta wants it to be a pro product, it’s just a game machine, a very fun game machine though, but not the most amazing office application.

    In conclusion, I’ll see if I can get one through my employer, otherwise, well, let’s see.
