While a number of reports hinted at the possibility of Apple teasing its highly-anticipated AR/MR headset during its recent WWDC 2022, it did not happen, as predicted by Ming-Chi Kuo. Although the company unveiled the next-gen iOS and iPadOS, among many more announcements, it did not mention anything about augmented reality or virtual reality. Now, Kuo has some updates regarding the matter and suggests that Apple’s AR/MR headset will hit the stores before next year’s WWDC event.
Reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently took to Twitter to share some updates about Apple’s upcoming AR/MR headset. Kuo says that he believes that the shipping date of Apple’s AR/MR headset will be postponed to the second quarter of 2023 due to the lockdowns in Shanghai.
As for what to expect, Apple’s highly-anticipated AR/ MR headset has been rumored for quite a long time now. Previous rumors about it suggest that it will rely on Apple’s Memojis and SharePlay features for virtual FaceTime calls. Moreover, it is most likely to run a new platform called RealityOS and is expected to pack the latest M2 chipset that Apple unveiled recently. There are chances it may come with two 4K micro OLED screens, support for ‘comprehensive’ apps, and loads more.
