What if Apple Fails?

Written By Jason Stutman

Posted May 22, 2023

As we approach what could arguably be Apple's most pivotal product launch in the post-Steve Jobs era, it's impossible not to feel the anticipation. 

A decade or so of speculative excitement finally seems to be coming to a head as June looms, with Bloomberg and other news outlets all but confirming the long-awaited debut of Apple's virtual reality (VR) headset.

Apple's launch comes at a pivotal moment, casting a contrasting shadow against Facebook's clumsy and often-ridiculed plunge into the "metaverse." It prompts an important question: Why has the integration of augmented and virtual reality into everyday life remained such a challenging puzzle so far?

People around the globe are hoping that if anyone can succeed, it's Apple. The tech giant is often hailed as the one company capable of achieving what others can only dream of. But what if Apple, against all expectations, fails? What does this mean for an industry placing its bets and staking its future on this technology?

The implications are far-reaching. A failure on Apple's part could shatter the tech industry's optimism and would even be seen as a national embarrassment. It's not just a product anymore — it's the fate of America’s most darling company, a long-promised multitrillion-dollar industry, and even the future of our society.

The more existential question at hand is what it means for us as a human race. Will we plunge deeper into the technological abyss or will this moment provide a collective awakening, a realization that we need to reconnect with the physical world and, as the current parlance goes, "touch grass"?

Over the past decade, we've become inextricably tethered to technology. We carry portals to the digital world, bestowing us with a degree of power and connectivity unimaginable in previous generations. It's abundantly clear that our integration with this digital landscape, despite its quirks and occasional pitfalls, is now almost indispensable.

Yet the allure of expanding this digital realm into a three-dimensional world cannot be denied. It brings with it the promise of unprecedented engagement and immersive experiences. 

But are we, as inherently natural beings, equipped to handle such a seismic shift? As products of millions of years of slow-paced evolution, is there a limit to the level of technological exposure we can absorb?

It's a precipice we stand on, staring into a future that is both exhilarating and terrifying. Technology moves at a breakneck speed, leaving us in a constant state of adaptation.

Apple's VR launch is not just about a new product; it's about a societal shift, a test of our readiness to embrace the next level of digital immersion. This is the moment when we discover if we're ready to move forward or if it's time to take a step back and reevaluate the pace of our technological evolution.

In this monumental juncture, only time will tell if we're heading toward an immersive digital utopia or a cautionary tale of tech-induced estrangement. As the world watches Apple's next move, we all wait with bated breath, knowing that the consequences extend far beyond the boardrooms of Silicon Valley.

Sincerely,
