It’s nothing more than a very expensive monitor you have to wear on your head. Even if you think of it as an SDK for some hypothetical future device, Apple hasn’t come close to even hinting at the promise or potential of AR. Not only is their overpriced, over-engineered hardware not up to snuff, the software isn’t up to snuff if taken merely a proof of concept.

I still think that AR is the inevitable future, but not in this form and not soon. I may not even live to see it.
