Apple’s annual WWDC 2022 event is just around the corner and apart from the obvious software updates, rumors suggested that the company would at least tease its much-anticipated AR/VR headset at the event. We even saw trademark filings, hinting at “RealityOS,” which could be the operating system for the headset. However, if we believe Kuo, Apple would not reveal its headset at WWDC this year. Here’s why.
Ahead of the WWDC event next week, Kuo recently took to Twitter to report that it will take time for Apple to start mass-producing its highly-anticipated AR/VR headset. Hence, the analyst does not believe that the Cupertino giant “will release AR/MR headset and rumored realityOS at WWDC this year.“
(1/2)It still takes some time before Apple AR/MR headset enters mass production, so I don’t think Apple will release AR/MR headset and rumored realityOS at WWDC this year. Apple’s competitors worldwide can’t wait to see the hardware spec and OS design for Apple’s AR/MR headset.— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) May 31, 2022
He also went on to add that Apple would release the AR/MR headset sometime in 2023. This is in line with a previous report from Bloomberg that hinted at a delay until next year.
