This is exactly the kind of niche feature I'm afraid of. It looks to me
that they are spending *way* too much time and effort on the augmented
reality features. And for what? The average user (like me) is not
interested in those features. AR might be fun to play with... for
perhaps a half hour tops. 99.99% of the usage would be for video games
which do not benefit at all from AR. And I don't think I'm the only one
who is like that.

So putting so much effort on the AR capabilities is just a waste of
time which may raise the price of the device for nothing.
