The biggest announcement coming out of the iPhone 17 series' launch event earlier this week wasn't about the most powerful iPhone yet -- it was for the thinnest.

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them.
