Idk man, if you let go of the requirement of wireless and standalone, we’re already there.
So I’m expecting there to be a lot more headsets like that next gen.

Am I wrong in my reading that this hardware product is only available for people who already own and use an iPhone XR or newer? It seemed neat until I got to that bit…

I don’t own one nor do I know anyone who does, but as far as I’ve understood it from casual Googling the product, you just have to find one to use it to submit a scan of your face so they can mold the thing properly. So it’s more like you have to lend an iPhone for 5 minutes from someone/somewhere, which while being annoying, hardly seems like an obstacle to me when considering those.
Idk why they don’t have an app for Android based phones (fuck iPhones) but it’s a small-ish company which is making them and I imagine there are things about software development I’m unaware of so I couldn’t say “they should just have the app in Google Play store as well” as if it were that simple with 3D-scanning.

You’re right, it’s not an insurmountable obstacle, I think I was just feeling petulant about seeing another product with a sign next to it saying basically, “you must be this invested in the Apple ecosystem to ride”.
Let’s be real though, it’s already a better option than what Apple is offering for $3500, so I’m sure they will get some traction before being bought out.
Lastly, because you underscored the point I was making, fuck iPhones.
