Just when we thought the metaverse frenzy had faded into the digital sunset, along comes Apple, the world’s most valuable company, ready to breathe new life into this futuristic fantasy.</p><h2 id="header-0">The Metaverse: A Brief History of Hype and Hope</h2><p>Let’s rewind to 2021. Remember when Facebook, in a fit of identity crisis, rebranded itself to Meta? The tech giant hoped to lead us into a brave new world – the metaverse. But alas, it seems that the public wasn’t quite ready to follow Mark Zuckerberg into his vision of a virtual utopia.</p><p>Fast forward to now. Interest in the metaverse has waned, and companies like Microsoft and Disney have quietly packed up their virtual reality dreams and turned off the lights on their metaverse projects.</p><h2 id="header-1">Apple’s Vision Check: A New Era or Just New Eyewear?</h2><p>Enter Apple. The Cupertino-based tech titan has announced its new mixed-reality headset, dubbed the Vision Pro. This device has supposedly been in the works for a whopping seven years, and Apple is now ready to unveil it to the world. The Vision Pro is expected to fuse augmented and virtual reality into a single device and is rumoured to sport a price tag of around $3,000. Oh, Apple, ever the master of understatement.</p><p>This is Apple’s first major new product in nearly a decade, and the company has tantalizingly declared that “a new era” is about to begin. Apple CEO Tim Cook has even been quoted saying, “In the future, you’ll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality”. Well, Tim, right now, we’re just wondering how we’ll afford this new piece of tech!</p><h2 id="header-2">Apple’s WWDC 2023: Coding New Worlds or Old Hype?</h2><p>Apple’s theme for this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is “Code new worlds”. But before we get too excited, let’s remember that this is the same company that once convinced us we needed a $1,000 stand for our computer monitor.</p><p>Apple’s move into the metaverse is expected to reignite interest in this digital frontier. But, in a twist that could only come from Apple, don’t expect them to use the term “metaverse”. Apparently, Tim Cook believes the word is too confusing for us average folks. Maybe they’ll call it the “iVerse” instead?</p><h2 id="header-3">Meta’s Missteps: Lessons from the Past?</h2><p>As Apple gears up for its metaverse adventure, let’s take a moment to reflect on Meta’s missteps.</p><p>In 2021, we saw Meta – or as we fondly remember, Facebook – paint the town red with its name change and grand metaverse dreams. Their publicity machine was in overdrive, churning out visions of a future filled with Web3 metaverse games. It felt like the metaverse was not just an idea, but a tangible inevitability. And for a hot minute, we all got swept up in it, didn’t we? Virtual <a href="https://nftandgamefi.com/2022/09/17/axie-infinity-land-plot-sale/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">land NFT plots</a> skyrocketed in value and it felt like we were all just one virtual land purchase away from becoming metaverse moguls.</p><p>Read the full article: <a href="https://nftandgamefi.com/2023/06/05/apple-metaverse-vision-pro/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Apple Vision Pro: A Metaverse Lifeline or Another Tech Mirage?</a></p>
