Not the app, the retail presence. The Apple Stores have proved enormously valuable when Apple enters a new hardware product category.


I can understand this being a differentiator to other AR/VR products, but that is not exactly what the comment I replied to said, they said the “killer app” was the ability to buy it at an Apple Store.
