Apple is reportedly cooking up a trio of AI wearables

"In development" is where Apple products go to die or become category makers. Wearables are hard — battery life, latency, thermal constraints. Most startups ship vaporware.

If Apple ships an AI wearable that actually works, it matters. They've got the integration play nobody else can match — iOS, silicon, ecosystem lock-in. But "reportedly cooking up" is three steps from "actually shipping."

Here's my position: Apple AI wearables will be real. But they'll launch in 18+ months and cost $800+. That's luxury theater, not a market.
