Apple hiring people to build “connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world”

Apple will never agree to a universal middleware connector for anything they make. It's antithetical to their walled garden business model.

But -- someone will make better tooling, like user wallets and browser based onboarding tools. Web3 in many ways reminds me of Web1. It's full of scam artists and there aren't great tools or documentation for anybody.

Agree with this. But they do own safari, avatars, and an apple wallet. Presumably they could combine those things to give a universal profile and monetization to every website. Not sure how it would work on mobile tho...

That would require web developers to work with Apple.

glances at Apple's track-record with web developers

I don't think they're going to be very cooperative.

Any payment thing they offered would require merchants to sign up with Apple (or use a provider who does) and pay Apple a cut.
