I left the headline like the original, but I see this as a massive win for Apple. The device is ridiculously expensive, isn’t even on sale yet and already has 150 apps specifically designed for that.
If Google did this, it wouldn’t even get 150 dedicated apps even years after launch (and the guaranteed demise of it) and even if it was something super cheap like being made of fucking cardboard.
This is something that as an Android user I envy a lot from the Apple ecosystem.
Apple: this is a new feature => devs implement them in their apps the very next day even if it launches officially in 6 months.
Google: this is a new feature => devs ignore it, apps start to support it after 5-6 Android versions
Just putting it out there, many people you see walking around with a detachable lens camera are wearing about that much visible gear on their person, if not far more.
@Solemn Sure, hopefully they are careful. As a kid I used to live places where people put rifles in gun racks on their pick up trucks. That stopped years ago of course, because they were invitations for crime.
I get what you mean, but I think stealing something unguarded and violently confronting people take vastly different mindsets.
