$70 billion loss over 4 years in metaverse and VR/AI glasses
Just looking at their current product, rayban metas, they’re pretty damn cool and work very well. Based on them being the first mover + cool factor I’m bullish on meta. Plus they have shifted their focus to AI and the metaverse stuff seems to have taken a back seat. FB + instagram + WhatsApp continu

We’re blowing up! 🚀 To all our new members: Which pair of smartglasses is currently your favorite?"
I am in LOVE with my RayBan Meta Displays. I wear them as much as possible but the lack of progressive lens option is limiting. Ray BanMeta Gen 2s get worn when I need my full prescription. Even Realities are third, because of the progressive lenses issue and I'm not shelling out a billion dollars f

The First 48
I took your same path almost. Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Even G1 and now Rokid. I agree on just about all of your points. The Evens were great style wise, but the Rokid Glasses are far more capable.

Nice daily camera better than Ray-ban meta
I live in Japan and own Ray-ban meta gen 1 and was satisfied as a casual camera. draw backs are Can't use meta AI(not sold and supported officially in Japan) Glass don't fit my face. I'm typical asian and ray-ban meta is not for me Short battery . I use ray-ban meta only as a camera and ear phone .

Are you upgrading to Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2
I ordered the RayBan Meta 2 and returning my Oakley HSTN Metas. While the HSTN is ok… it’s not great for everyday use. Plus it’s slightly uncomfortable for me. All my typical sunglasses are Wayfarers… so this is an easy switch.

Mark Zuckerberg unveils $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses
I’m not sure how many other ways you could interpret it but okay lol, the price on all the meta ray ban models are fairly similar. And based on numerous reports that I’ve seen retention is quite high with the model that released at the end of 2023 (not the rayban stories), significantly higher than

Oakley met clear frames. Will they become yellowish in longterm.
The clear is really cool. I had the ray ban meta on clr gen 1 for a year and they were fine. I have then new ones in matte clr too and no problems thus far. However, anything clear plastic will eventually yellow. Could be 1, 5, 10, etc years but it will eventually happen.

Apple absolutely cannot miss its smart glasses swing
Ray Ban Meta glasses have sold 2 million and they’re ramping up production like crazy, the Vision Pro has sold around 500k and the rumors are frequently mentioning that they’re winding down production. Granted they’re not the same thing, the Vision Pro is much more of a tech demo/first gen/early ado

about in & out in charging case
I put them in my pushing my glasses down in that area. I did that with my first gen Ray-Ban Metas, and I do that now with both my HSTNs and Vanguards. I take them out with the glasses arms because I don’t want to touch the lenses. I haven’t had any issues, going back to my first-gen Ray-Ban Metas.

Audio Only Smart Glasses
No. The only one that comes close to it so far is the RayBan Metas. Lucyd's new Reebok collection supposedly has better quality and sound containment. I actually love my Lucyd Lytes, but my situation and preferences might be different from yours. Also my personal bias
