Apple typically takes its sweet time to enter new product categories, but the wait may soon be over.

Apple’s first-generation AR glasses will apparently be an iPhone accessory, rather than a standalone product.

Now’s the time I tell you that you’ll have to stop reading if you want to avoid some big Endgame spoilers. That’s because the clip we’re about to dissect isn’t a trailer, but a scene from Endgame that might not be shown again until the movie is released.
