There have been reports for years that Apple is working on its own AR/VR headset. Now Apple's schedule has allegedly leaked.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo according to Apple plans to announce the brand new product at its own event in January 2023. Recall that the first iPhone was also unveiled in January. According to Kuo, Apple will unveil the product at an event in January and deliver the tools for developers "within 2-4 weeks of the event." However, pre-orders for the headset will begin in the second quarter of 2023, so customers will receive the device before WWDC 2023. Several reports have pointed to ongoing problems with the headset's development, delaying a market launch until next year.
Apple AR/VR headset could cost around $3,000
Apple's first product is said to be a hybrid headset with a curved visor and a soft mesh that conforms to the face. According to various rumors, the product will feature a band similar to the Apple Watch to keep it in place. The goal is to make the headset lighter and more comfortable for the wearer. It will feature two 4K Micro OLED displays, 15 camera modules, powerful processors equivalent to the M-series chips, eye-tracking capabilities, support for hand gestures, spatial audio and other features. According to sources, the product will be a niche device and will cost around $3,000 when launched. (Image: Rendersbyjan)
