I don't know if I've fully bought into the idea that smart glasses will replace phones for most people, but these prototypes are about as close as you can get to what the ideal version of the device should look like. They're pretty stylish and the tech looks impressive. And they're infinitely more useable than the Vision Pro and Quest headsets for a larger set of situations.

Seriously, how was this app ever meant to make money? Its whole purpose in the beginning was to get users to spend *less* time on the app/social media in general. …
