šŸ›°ļø The Signal

This week’s defining shift.

Fashion is becoming the front door for smartglasses.

The fashion layer is now the distribution layer for physical AI wearables. This time, it’s not just about making glasses smart, it’s about making them matter. And brand equity is what sells.

šŸŒ€ Tom's Take

Unfiltered POV from the editor-in-chief.

Apple Vision Pro should have launched as Apple TV Vision.

The hardware is incredible, but the magic isn’t in multitasking; it’s in entertainment. I was reminded of this during DAZN’s XR World Cup experience, which features 3D tabletop matches, 180-degree video feeds, and interactive replays for key moments. Similar experiences can be found in the PGA and NBA apps. Watching sports on a big screen is one thing, but watching it unfold as a real-time simulation in front of you, from multiple perspectives, is a game-changer.

Pair that with Apple’s massive investment in Apple TV+ content for Vision Pro, including immersive originals featuring Alicia Keys, Bono, and more, and it becomes clear that Vision Pro is a premium media device in disguise.

While I love the ambition behind a true spatial computer, I can’t help but wonder if we’d see more Vision Pros in people’s homes if Apple had positioned it as a next-gen Apple TV. A focus on immersive sports, music, and entertainment could have simplified the value prop, allowed for lower specs (and a lower price), and reached a broader market. Plus, duo or family bundles could have made it a shared, social experience that would have eliminated the need for a traditional screen completely.

Apple may not have needed to make a spatial computer right from the start. It needed to disrupt TV to win the living room before conquering every use case.
