I think it's going to heat up the race for AR technology and force competitors to step up their game.

I'm excited about the potential of AR, but I'm concerned about privacy issues. Apple will have to address these concerns as well.

I'm not convinced AR is going to be as popular as people think. It still has a long way to go before it can really compete with more established tech.

I think it's great that Apple is investing in new technology, but I hope they don't forget about their existing products and customers.
