Driving around and AR shows you the route directly on your windscreen. Walking in town and it'll give little popups for places of interest that you can find more about when tapping them. Buying clothes and trying them on in AR to see how they fit. Measuring and dropping furniture in your house to see how big it would be and how it looks in context.
Those are just a few off the top of my head. Yes they're fairly mundane things but with enough time, it'll be something we can't imagine we lived without. AR's still in its infancy but I can definitely see lots of purposes for it.
In terms of offering the consumer technology that will soon become ubiquitous, AR is far more useful than VR which involves slapping on a massive headset and locking yourself away from the world, rather than incorporating virtual images into the world.
Apple: "We are concerned about how much people are using their devices, so we have developed an app called Screen Time to help avoid over-usage."
Also Apple: "We are introducing a project in some of the world's best and most populous cities, so if you walk around while holding up your iPhone, you might see a giant green foot."
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
