Dystopian is an apt description. It does look like something straight out of a black mirror episode. A lot of recent technology is really embracing the uncanny valley feeling.
It only strong black mirror vibes, but like meta level black mirror vibes, where you know Apple know that this has strong black mirror vibes and were like fuck it, let’s power through and engineer the shit out of this, which only gets us closer to black mirror, which is exactly what the show was about (the black mirror of an iPhone screen and the inevitable futures we can’t resist).
I’m hoping that Apple are hoping that the product will find some niches and that not everything they have thought of will work but that’s ok for them.
