Apple might launch the first-gen AR/VR headset at the next WWDC event, with a release date set for late 2023
Apple has been developing its first mixed reality headset for several years, although rumors about the wearable device have intensified in the past couple of years. This suggested Apple was getting closer to an official AR/VR headset launch, even though the tech giant never committed to anything.
Newer reports said Apple had to delay the launch and release date again. The headset is now supposed to hit stores in late 2023 rather than in the first half of the year. A second insider provides similar claims, teasing a potential launch date for the AR/VR headset: Apple’s WWDC 2023 event.
Capable of delivering standalone augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences, the head-worn device would be as powerful as a MacBook. That’s what some leaks say, suggesting Apple will make a more sophisticated mixed reality device than what’s available from the competition.
