Small, limited production run at a high price.

They’re just iterating their R&D in public. Not a bad idea. The new higher price offsets losses of experimentation in a way the first version didn’t.

Ultimately the play here is slowly building up strategic hardware expertise (which takes a long time). Specifically expertise in camera and AR hardware/software integration.

I expect HN to be needlessly cynical about this and overstate the role this product intends to play for now.

I think Snapchat has a lot of potential, but they just need some more focus or an identity.

It's definitely an interesting space, and a more convenient and fast way to take pictures is a great idea.

I just feel like snap has been releasing a bunch of 'beta' hardware for a while now, but they should be at the stage where they can put out a real device with a sensible price, targeted at the average user.
