Meta is feeling constrained by Apple's platform restrictions. Zuckerberg has publicly stated that building Meta's services is limited by what Apple allows. This is likely due to Apple developing its own competing smart devices and wanting to maintain control over its ecosystem.

Meta recently experienced public demo failures with its new AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses. During live demonstrations, the glasses malfunctioned - failing to provide correct instructions during a cooking demo and missing a WhatsApp call.

meta downplays the issues as "demo failures" rather than "product failures." Bosworth,a Meta executive,attempted to minimize the impact of the glitches.
