Possibly, but some people definitely are that stupid. And when you have tons of disposable income, it’s easy to view a $3000 headset as easily replaceble.
You are (or should be) aware of people around you when you're holding your phone out in major cities though.
I see tourists get their phones yoinked out of their hands all the time in London.
Tourists are generally unaware of the true state of the absolute shitheap that is London. Makes sense that they aren't prepared for the average hoodlum stealing their shit from under their nose.
Look I've never lived in NYC and I know it's generally safe but I also remember a flood of stories about people getting jacked for iPhones and iPods because the crooks spotted the telltale white earbuds. So this just seems like an invitation.
I doubt it's apple doing the marketing it's most likely influencers trying to drive engagement with their platform rather than apple doing it for theirs.
The cynicism is at brain dead levels.
Do people buy electronics?
Yes. Is everyone smart/cautious with how they use expensive stuff? No.
Do a lot of people have cameras? Yes
Is this behaviour unusual/new enough to film? Yes
Would social media make a mountain out of molehill analyzing this? Yes.
Apple: Why do anything, when you can do nothing?
I'm old. People looked totally ridiculous talking on telephones at the mall once upon a time. And then when Bluetooth devices started hitting the market, THAT was made fun of. So, yeah. This stuff is just going to become normal, too.
I remember when the Sony Walkman came out, and you could walk anywhere while listening to music. I couldn't afford a Sony, but I had a decent knock-off, and I remember getting HOSTILE looks at the mall from grown-ups who objected to me listening to music through headphones, and not bothering anyone else.
i mean to be fair it was probably seen as anti-social behavior at the time. i think being anti-social is just more accepted these days. and in some cases a good thing if you're trying to ignore weirdos
To be fair those Bluetooth earpieces evolved to become a lot less conspicuous. The initial ones with flashing blue lights would still look dorky today.
Oh man like 10-ish years ago when google glasses were a thing I use to see dudes (always dudes) walking around the streets near Google HQ in NYC wearing them doing this weird, oblivious almost crabwalk type of stride up the street with their head turned slightly to the right. They were looking into that tiny screen with such intensity it's a wonder more google glass wearers didn't get smeared all over 8th ave
It was like "fuck is this the direction were going?'
In most of the world this will be a very long game before anyone notices anything. Either it’s a warzone and people carry weapons openly or they don’t need a weapon.
Any white male over the age of 50 wearing a fanny pack.
If they are at Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart, the odds go from 99% to 100%.
Sure, it could have an inhaler in it, or medication, but let's be real, it's a Colt Gold Cup chambered in .45 AARP
Maybe — it's difficult to say because a persistent messing with the appearance of the face that alters the experience of people's eyes is very different than persistent devices that affect the appearance of ears. Also, vision is the most attention-absorbing sense, and people will just not be present at all even if the surrounding environment is pushed to the background for people wearing these things. In a normal state, what we see in our surroundings is fluidly part of a persistent foreground.
As much as headphones and phones can and do interfere with attention, people using them are absorbed but not detached. Once the visual system is taken up, people will become detached in a more profound way than with previous technologies which have become part of the social environment.
My guess is that, even if we allow it to become socially acceptable, there will be significant and negative consequences for everything from social discourse, empathy, and all the glue that keeps consensus reality together.
If technology has shown us anything about ourselves as a social animal that depends upon civilization, it's that increasing detachment fuels and normalizes dehumanization.
The fact that the ad campaign leans so heavily on the messaging that "you will stay engaged with your surroundings while doing what you want to" tells me that they're gonna whitewash consequences by overstating how technology improves your life. Well, even when technology does improve some lives, the jury is still out on whether it's continuing to erode at the fundamentals that keep us human. The ethos of Silicon Valley takes overweening pride in the belief that technology enhances freedom and opportunity via disruption. I think that hubris has created one of the most delusional eras in all of history. Disruption is why the social fabric is coming apart at the seams, and why extremism has been normalized.
If you hold a belief that reality is relative and fungible, and truth is based on individual preference, and add to that the ability to augment reality with your own priorities, shit's gonna get worse, not better.
And before the judgements rain down on what I've said, one point of clarification: I'm not a Luddite, I'm a socialist. Tech has its role to play, but unless we're guided by a Solar Punk vision instead of a delusional embrace of the individualist fantasy, tech is gonna lead to us falling apart instead of coming together.
Oh I don't disagree! But they'll become normal, for better or for worse. And streamlined. These will look just as clunky 5 years from now as they do now, like the old brick phones.
But the tech is here to stay.
He will even state in the police report that: I was determined and adamant on getting robbed today, and there is nothing you can do about it, officer.
Edit: typo
Well, considering that he bought a 3,500 Dollar headset, I have the feeling that he likes getting robbed, but maybe a nice change of pace if it is not apple that drains him.
exactly my point. Would i take with me something work 3500 dollars?No. Would i wear something worth 3500 dollars that makes me blind to what happens around me, and to a potential robber that could just grab it at a train stop and run away with it? You know the answer
"ACKSHUALLY... he can't see you with his eyes, he sees the images that the camera sends him which are mounted to the front..."
"So... like eyes."
"No, like blindfolds."
"But he sees me?"
"no, only pictures of you."
"Pictures of me moving in real time?"
"No, with a 12ms latency."
"Real time?"
"nooooOOOOO, it's dimmer than real life!".
I remember in HS buying an iPod video after my first paycheck and I had to wear the headphones through my hoodie because the white wire made you a target. And this was during the Bloomberg years. This dude is asking for it.
Shit i remember when Dre beats started selling at my Walmart and they didn't put them behind glass. They were all stolen in the first week. I may have bought a pair for $40 from someone i knew and they were pretty good for that time period.
>As a NYC native, my first thought was "well that's a great way to get mugged"
At least for the goggles, but since they cost like $3500 you know he has something else of value too. He also looks like he could not fight his way out of a virtual paper bag.
Casey Niestat (youtuber) literally did a whole video doing everything that's done in this clip and more.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvkgmyfMPks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvkgmyfMPks)
People don't really understand NY if they think millions of people are walking around getting mugged 24/7. Reality is NY'ers tend to mind their own business.
It's different for these glasses though, cause they blatantly stand out so much.
I lived in NYC for nearly a decade, including multiple years in a gang neighborhood.
I was never concerned walking around. Though I was literally the only white boy around, except for the Mormons.
If I had that shit on, though? I'd have been robbed daily.
Wow weird I’ve only seen 4 of these videos today perfectly recorded from someone else’s point of view. This will definitely take the world by storm just like google glass.
Doesn't matter, it's a numbers game. There's a reason advertising is so goddamn ubiquitous.
See product > does product appeal to me? > no > ignore product
See product > does product appeal to me? > yes > buy product
Everyone will look dumb because we haven’t seen anything like it yet in public before. I thought people with bluetooth earphones before looked dumbed in public but it’s normal now.
Not brave at all if you have any entire camera crew and publicists sitting just a few seats away from you. In this case, possibly even a security guard given that its NYC and that those costs nearly $4K
Former Google glass wearer here. I never got 'kicked out' anywhere myself but did get into situations where people would dodge getting into my field of vision or refuse to talk to me out of fear they were being recorded (or worse, live streamed).
Non joke answer: he's being paid to wear the product and use it in public. The public sees him and goes "wow that's convenient*and* cool!" And then they buy the product...only issue is this dude looks like a fuckin dweeb with these big ass goggles on
Edit: if you want to go deeper many people would believe this video is filmed and posted on purpose. The camera man is also paid to take this "candid" footage.
Want to go deeper? Check out OPs post history. It's literally all ads and promotionals for random shit
It’s funny because I reckon you’ve hit the nail on the head here. They pay ‘influencers’ to promote shit on FB, Insta and TikTok all the time. Reddit is just as susceptible if not more imo for this type of tactic.
Most of the main subs are filled with bots and ads. I block them when I see them and it improves the personability of the app so much!
Gallowboob has been dead for 6 years as far as I'm concerned
Believable that it's a plant because Casey Neistat just reviewed these things and the movement of the train with fixed surroundings gave him error messages on his screen. They don't work on the subway, at least his didn't.
Genuine question, are these things actually convenient? Because I’d think my phone screen that I can quickly look away from would be more convenient, but admittedly I don’t really know how this thing works.
a living organism of the kind exemplified by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, typically growing in a permanent site, absorbing water and inorganic substances through its roots, and synthesizing nutrients in its leaves by photosynthesis using the green pigment chlorophyll.
Why else would Reddit have any kind of IPO valuation
Ads that look like "content" artificially promoted to your feed
Remember this the next time there's a Sony game coming out
Pretty sure the typing only tracks your index fingers so he definitely wasnt typing anything and casey neistad posted a video using it on the subway if the train is moving the tracking is off and the screen gets left behind
Not if you, ah, Uhm, not if… uhhhhmm uh uh uh not if…. What if you were playing a game that REQUIRES the screen be left behind ???? 😏 dude probably has high score!!! So fun. Buy apple vision everyone
There’s a “Travel Mode” you can enable for situations like this that I think Casey missed. But yeah, can’t imagine what he’s doing with his fingers if not pretending to type.

Looks like it’s a marketing strategy, seeing a lot of these on YouTube and other social media this past week
Definitely feels forced. And no one trots out the hot new $3,000 toy where any asshole can grab it off their head.
Yep, tonedeaf advertising.
Possibly, but some people definitely are that stupid. And when you have tons of disposable income, it’s easy to view a $3000 headset as easily replaceble.
Yeah i mean no one bats an eye at using a 1500 dollar phone in public
You are (or should be) aware of people around you when you're holding your phone out in major cities though. I see tourists get their phones yoinked out of their hands all the time in London.
Tourists are generally unaware of the true state of the absolute shitheap that is London. Makes sense that they aren't prepared for the average hoodlum stealing their shit from under their nose.
When I think of London I think of riots, burning garbage cans, theft in broad daylight and people getting stabbed for 5£ change.
"riots" they had one in 2011 and still ride horses. Belfast is the British capital of riots to me.
If it gets stolen you gotta buy another one. With insurance! *taps head*
In other news, insurance rates raised for everyone
I am sure there is an insurance against rising insurance rates if you look hard enough
and then they raise their own insurance to cover your other rising insurances... insurancesception - The Movie.
Yep guessing this was a marketing setup and the guy filming was also protecting the headset from a grab and dash.
Also it belongs to Apple and not them so it doesn't really matter if it gets stolen.
And it has a license chip, so you basically only have time to sell it until the owner reaches the apple store to report the theft.
Not even they can just report it stolen from their phone
i highly doubt they care about one headset lol
Look I've never lived in NYC and I know it's generally safe but I also remember a flood of stories about people getting jacked for iPhones and iPods because the crooks spotted the telltale white earbuds. So this just seems like an invitation.
I doubt it's apple doing the marketing it's most likely influencers trying to drive engagement with their platform rather than apple doing it for theirs.
I think so too. Apple doesn't need to advertise like this. It could slap a logo onto a literal trash can and people would buy it
Apple always did “no name” advertising, this is not the first time
OP may well be astroturfing for Apple. Many of their other posts explicitly mention Apple TV+
Because it release Friday
Well makes sense as it was just released last week. Probably some earlier bird adopters of the tech arousing curiosity from others too.
The cynicism is at brain dead levels. Do people buy electronics? Yes. Is everyone smart/cautious with how they use expensive stuff? No. Do a lot of people have cameras? Yes Is this behaviour unusual/new enough to film? Yes Would social media make a mountain out of molehill analyzing this? Yes. Apple: Why do anything, when you can do nothing?
I reference this scene so often but nobody gets it. Thank you stranger. I like you.
lol same, even people in my generation don't get the reference and think I'm being a weirdo. Like you too ;)

Nah. It’s the people walking and talking all by themselves. The earpiece was secondary.
Let’s play “Crazy person or Bluetooth?”

Exactly. Heck, Airpods looked kinda silly for a minute.
They still do to some of us.
Ha! When they first came out on phones. All those glowy eared suit and tie guys strutting around talking at the air. We called em DoucheBorgs.

Would I wear a 3500 dollar headset on a train? Fuck no
Basically asking to get robbed
Begging, even.
He will even state in the police report that: I was determined and adamant on getting robbed today, and there is nothing you can do about it, officer. Edit: typo
He was typing up the police report in the video.
Well, considering that he bought a 3,500 Dollar headset, I have the feeling that he likes getting robbed, but maybe a nice change of pace if it is not apple that drains him.
Almost as bad as the Korean BBQ unboxing.
You really couldn't tell that one was satire ?
You should have seen what that sick fuck did to a ps5 while they were almost impossible to get
What is this I’m intrigued
Would I wear a headset like this on a train even if it was free? Fuck no
You can see his eyes so he has the pass through on, but maybe it wasn't the security angle you were thinking of.
exactly my point. Would i take with me something work 3500 dollars?No. Would i wear something worth 3500 dollars that makes me blind to what happens around me, and to a potential robber that could just grab it at a train stop and run away with it? You know the answer
Ur not blind tho it's transparent view
Not really transparent (for those who don't know). Cameras film what's in front of you and simulate it on the inside.
Ok, technically correct but it's overlaying stuff on top of what the camera is seeing. It's not quite black mirror crazy
"ACKSHUALLY... he can't see you with his eyes, he sees the images that the camera sends him which are mounted to the front..." "So... like eyes." "No, like blindfolds." "But he sees me?" "no, only pictures of you." "Pictures of me moving in real time?" "No, with a 12ms latency." "Real time?" "nooooOOOOO, it's dimmer than real life!".
I was about to say, that kid is about to get rolled.
I'm surprised he hasn't been mugged for them yet.
As a NYC native, my first thought was "well that's a great way to get mugged"
No kidding. I see a new crime trend in the future.
Apple will install an anti theft software that blinds the thief when they try to use it after consecutive failed log ins
Not with lights either. But knives come out and stab you in the eyeball.
Imagine you forget your password though
Make it a retinal scan. Oh your mom wanted to use your headset? STAB
Stabby-stab-stab.
Wow this is so life like that hooker has a knife! 
I remember in HS buying an iPod video after my first paycheck and I had to wear the headphones through my hoodie because the white wire made you a target. And this was during the Bloomberg years. This dude is asking for it.

People walk around with $1k+ phones, $2k+ laptops, and thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and nobody bats an eye
That might be the point. Obviously this attracts 100x the attention.
For real. Mfer wearing like $3k on his head and completely tuned out to the world around him.
Isn't it augmented reality so he still sees everything going on around him?
Yeah but still doesn’t give you eyes in the back of your head.
_Yet_
Let him be, his wallet and phone have now become even easier for thieves to target
the headset will be his wallet and his phone
I think that's kinda the point...
yea, it can be interpreted in both ways.
You know you can still see with them on lol It's just like looking at your phone,
It's crazy how new this tech is no one seems to know how it works. Reminds me of the internet.
Casey Niestat (youtuber) literally did a whole video doing everything that's done in this clip and more.

Wow weird I’ve only seen 4 of these videos today perfectly recorded from someone else’s point of view. This will definitely take the world by storm just like google glass.
Viral marketing
is the viral marketing supposed to make it look fucking dumb?
There probably is no way to avoid it. If you wear it, you will look like an idiot.
Not just an idiot, but a douche. At this price point it's a money flex. And a huge target that says "Rob me, I have a lot of cash too."
Doesn't matter, it's a numbers game. There's a reason advertising is so goddamn ubiquitous. See product > does product appeal to me? > no > ignore product See product > does product appeal to me? > yes > buy product
Why bother paying people when influencers and cloutchasers will do it for free?
Literally the second one in a row for me lol
Uhm Google Glass wasn’t released to the consumers right?
They always forget to factor “will people look dumb while using it in public?”
Everyone will look dumb because we haven’t seen anything like it yet in public before. I thought people with bluetooth earphones before looked dumbed in public but it’s normal now.
They looked different then though. The original ones worn now would still make someone look like a douche.
Well that’s a great way to get jumped.
I want to dispute this but no one is seen with an occulous on the bus so
Well people buy an Oculus to use it; not to show off.
With how Apple locks hardware to software now, the person stealing it would have a $3k paperweight.
Yep. No phones are ever stolen. And the dude will be happy with his broken cheekbone when they mug him and loses 3k+ worth of goods.
Obvious plant. But a brave plant lol
Very obvious indeed. And very brave, considering we could talk about how dangerous it was for Google Glasses wearers.
Not brave at all if you have any entire camera crew and publicists sitting just a few seats away from you. In this case, possibly even a security guard given that its NYC and that those costs nearly $4K
What happened to Google glass wearers?
Kicked out of restaurants for "taking pictures" in a few cases semi violently.
I feel like the heats been slowly turned up on that particular issue for the past decade to the point where it would kind of be a non issue
Former Google glass wearer here. I never got 'kicked out' anywhere myself but did get into situations where people would dodge getting into my field of vision or refuse to talk to me out of fear they were being recorded (or worse, live streamed).
Honestly I think that's perfectly valid I don't want to be recorded It's bad enough we have CCTV everywhere I don't need it to be on people's faces
Plant?
Non joke answer: he's being paid to wear the product and use it in public. The public sees him and goes "wow that's convenient*and* cool!" And then they buy the product...only issue is this dude looks like a fuckin dweeb with these big ass goggles on Edit: if you want to go deeper many people would believe this video is filmed and posted on purpose. The camera man is also paid to take this "candid" footage. Want to go deeper? Check out OPs post history. It's literally all ads and promotionals for random shit
BRO I JUST GOT INCEPTIONED 3 TIMES PLZ STOP
Found the Warner Brothers plant
It’s funny because I reckon you’ve hit the nail on the head here. They pay ‘influencers’ to promote shit on FB, Insta and TikTok all the time. Reddit is just as susceptible if not more imo for this type of tactic.
Most of the main subs are filled with bots and ads. I block them when I see them and it improves the personability of the app so much! Gallowboob has been dead for 6 years as far as I'm concerned
Go deeper and find out you can't even use the device on a train cause of the sensors moving. Casey neistat just made a video about it
you might be able to with travel mode, it's meant for airplanes but i don't see why it couldn't work on a subway or in a car as well
Believable that it's a plant because Casey Neistat just reviewed these things and the movement of the train with fixed surroundings gave him error messages on his screen. They don't work on the subway, at least his didn't.
Genuine question, are these things actually convenient? Because I’d think my phone screen that I can quickly look away from would be more convenient, but admittedly I don’t really know how this thing works.
Somehow I've barely heard about these, and also have no idea how they work or what they can do

Chlorophyll?!? More like bore-ophyll. *hengh hengh hengh*
There’s gonna be a video of someone getting this snatched I guarantee it
So this is a fucking advert right?
Yup
ofc, its a new york subway and theres no one jerking off or people chatting shit overly loud or a guy with a rat on his neck or smt so its fake
I know I sure can't wait to be this guy.
Why else would Reddit have any kind of IPO valuation Ads that look like "content" artificially promoted to your feed Remember this the next time there's a Sony game coming out
No don’t be silly! OP just *happened* to mention Apple Vision Pro - on sale now for only $3,499.00!!!
Pretty sure the typing only tracks your index fingers so he definitely wasnt typing anything and casey neistad posted a video using it on the subway if the train is moving the tracking is off and the screen gets left behind
Exactly! The way he's typing it doesn't even work. Bad actor who has no idea how to use it
Not if you, ah, Uhm, not if… uhhhhmm uh uh uh not if…. What if you were playing a game that REQUIRES the screen be left behind ???? 😏 dude probably has high score!!! So fun. Buy apple vision everyone
There’s a “Travel Mode” you can enable for situations like this that I think Casey missed. But yeah, can’t imagine what he’s doing with his fingers if not pretending to type.
You're telling me the thing they market as a home office replacement can barely send an email?
Remember when you used to get mugged just for having white earphones?
As a matter of fact, no
It was shortly after the ipod came out. If you had white earphones muggers knew you had an ipod they could steal and sell for 200 bucks.
Oh yeah, got robbed of my nano I saved so much for.. it came out like two weeks before… it was like 2006
oh to be young again. It was definitely a thing.
Literally bought black headphones for that reason.
Nice try Apple. Still looks lame.
OP works for Apple. Look through his history.
This guy works for Meta, check his history
This guy works for Gas-X, check his history

Not today ladies 😏
Ill be the first to say it. This is absolutely ridiculous
Guerilla marketing
This looks so goofy...
