Apple's CEO Bashes the Metaverse, and Nvidia's CEO Embraces It: What It Means for Investors
On a recent trip to Europe, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook spoke with Dutch online media company Bright to discuss the future of technology. In the interview, Cook downplayed the metaverse, instead touting Apple's focus on augmented reality (AR). Cook said that one day, we will all "look back and think about how we once lived without AR."
Meanwhile, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) spent an entire week at its biannual GTC event for tech developers, and the metaverse consumed a large amount of the time. In fact, CEO Jensen Huang talks about the metaverse a lot, and how it will shape the future.
What in the name of metaverse originator Neal Stephenson is going on here? These debates about what the metaverse actually is and what it will do are becoming silly. Not to mention confusing for investors, let alone the everyday consumer, who is already overwhelmed by the rapid changes the world has undergone in the last few years.
