What matters

The clearest signal from The Verge is display and hardware priorities.
It is worth taking seriously, but one reporting line is not the same thing as a settled roadmap.
Our take: this advances the Orion smart glasses story because it narrows the conversation to display and hardware priorities, but it still needs either a second source or harder evidence.
The next useful check is corroboration: a second outlet, a filing, a supply-chain trace or a direct comment from Meta that confirms display and hardware priorities.
