Teasing a teaser before Christmas might actually be a solid move. People might not grab a Quest for Christmas if something better is possibly around the corner.

Fast vintage glass is hardly cheap these days with the mirrorless video shooters gobbling them up and destroying them by making them “cine lenses”
Still cheaper than modern equivalents for the most part tho

Honestly. The incredible 2 was my first smartphone 10-12 years ago. Loved it.

They started teasing this in September.
Probably going to officially announce it next month but it'll be still few months before it hits the stores.
Bradley on YouTube leaked it a month ago and called it "Flowcus" - a standalone modular headset, something like an upgraded Vive Flow with higher res (1920x1920, 120Hz), much faster chip (XR2 Gen 1 or Gen 2) and depth sensor.
I'm kinda excited about this one because of how small, lightweight and portable it looks despite being so powerful.
Hope Vive don't fuck it up.

I agree. But the problem is that most vintage glass is stupid heavy. The EF 85mm 1.2L which is around 700 used is like 2.5 lbs so it is a terrible carry around/travel lens. It weighs about the same as my Hassy x1d ii with the 45p lens.

Give me an iPad mini that takes calls and I’m thrilled and buy that and a watch.
Give me an iPad mini that opens to a full sized tablet and you can have all the money.

So it’s straight up not a consideration for me until it’s an iPhone because I’m not willing to tolerate android, and the tech isn’t there yet for acceptable durability.
But I straight up don’t understand how a person can dislike the premise. They basically universally allow you to use them folded at whatever size you choose. The foldable bit is just a bonus feature that lets you open it to a bigger screen when you need it. What is there to dislike about that?

Sounds like it's still a ways out if they're only talking about a reveal now. Doesn't really matter if they announce it before or after Christmas if they won't ship for 6-12 months regardless.

Meta disagrees with what you wrote.
Starting january 1, 2023, users will no longer be able to use occulus accounts and will be forced to create a Meta account
Article saying they are switching from requiring a Facebook account to requiring a Meta account
I also get a message on my Rift telling me I need a Meta acct by Jan 1st
