Apple is planning to introduce a brand new product – Apple Glass. There have been rumors about it for several years. But it was only recently that the augmented reality glasses were “unveiled”.
A few days ago, the well-known leaker and Youtuber Jon Prosser, revealed the first concrete details about Apple's upcoming glasses. So far, there have been reports about the development. However, there have been hardly any details about how it works, the price, the presentation and the market launch. Now the Taiwanese news site DigiTimes in a new report on Apple Glass. According to this, the AR glasses are expected to be released in 2021, with production going into the first half of the year - but initially in reduced quantities. This statement is consistent with Prosser's report that the glasses could go on sale in late 2021 or early 2022.
Apple Glass: Presentation in front of a live audience
The unveiling of Apple Glass could take place this fall. According to Prosser, Apple wants to present the glasses at the annual iPhone event as "One More Thing". However, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the event could be postponed like the WWDC 2020 held digitally. In such a case, the presentation of Apple Glass would not take place until spring 2021. In terms of price, Prosser stated $499. Users who need prescription glasses will have to pay an additional charge. The Youtuber also stated that Apple Glass will be completely dependent on the computing power of the iPhone. In addition, it will only have a LiDAR scanner and will not be equipped with additional cameras. You can read the full Apple Glass report read here.
