Humane Ai Pin Vs Rabbit r1 – Applications
Humane Ai Pin
Humane Ai has announced in the very beginning that they don’t do apps and for the complete functionality of their Ai Pin the operating system uses the AI. They are completely adhering to their promise of being screenless and when there will be applications involved, definitely the UI will demand consumers to dig into their screens again. Being application less doesn’t limit this tiny wearable device and it can still perform every task sufficiently well.
Rabbit r1
Rabbit r1 uses applications but that again in a very different way. As we know the display is only 2.88 inches which hardly allows users to operate apps, but this is one reason. However, consumers will be required to register their applications and integrate them with Rabbit r1 through their computers once and after that they can use applications by simply communicating with devices through voice. Booking cabs and ordering food can now be done without raffling between million pages.
Humane Ai Pin Vs Rabbit r1 – What’s In The Box?
Humane Ai Pin
The Humane Ai Pin package comes with Ai Pin, Charge Case, Charge Pad, USB-C Adapter & Cable, and two Battery Boosters. You can select the colors of your choice at the time of pre-ordering it.
Rabbit r1
Rabbit r1 package comes with r1 device and no other accessories are included. Rabbit r1 comes with a rechargeable lithium battery which can be charged with a USB-C charge cable and power adapter.
Final Verdict – Humane Ai Pin Vs Rabbit r1
First thing first, when we are talking about wearables, then Rabbit r1 is not a wearable, it’s just the smartphone punched hard on head to shrink in size and now appears like a popular pocket video game from the 90’s. To the contrary the Humane Ai Pin is built for the purpose to carry along with your apparel and it does merge completely.
The SIM types however set them apart and give Rabbit r1 more liberty. Whereas the tiny 2.88inch display on Rabbit r1 gives you the option to view many notifications but Humane sticking to their promise of being screenless comes with laser ink LED projection on your palm and fulfills the purpose also. The analog and push button on Rabbit r1 are also something giving it a smartphone look but when you look at the Humane Ai Pin, it just appears like a sleek piece of gas lighter.
It’s okay at this point to ask if it’s Humane Ai Pin Vs Rabbit r1 then who won the battle and further will lead the endeavour to eradicate smartphones, but it’s too early, from our perspective it entirely depends upon the user needs and requirements and how actually they want to do what they have been doing with phones since last more than 2 decades.
