Scoble: Meta's new glasses weakness is content — Apple holds the exclusives
DevinRavenGamin · x · 2026-09-24
Robert Scobleizer argues the biggest weakness of Meta's new VR glasses is the content ecosystem, not hardware: Apple has shipped Dolby Atmos for years while Spotify doesn't, and Apple holds an exclusive on Formula 1 that Meta can't replicate. He concedes first buyers won't be bored for months given how much there is to do. His debate counterpart counters that Snap Specs blow Meta away for hands-on use cases like working on a car or learning an instrument, asking why people show so much ignorance and hate toward Snap.
