Reality Pro will need a killer feature to justify its rumored $3,000 price tag. For me, workouts and fitness apps aren’t it.
As the saying goes: When there’s smoke, there’s fire. And judging by the amount of smoke coming out of the rumor mills and reports about Apple’s next big product, a hybrid virtual reality/augmented reality headset, we’re almost guaranteed to see it during the WWDC 2023 opening keynote on Monday.
The headset will purportedly carry the name Reality Pro and share the same basic design elements of a pair of skiing goggles. There’ll be a battery pack that you have to connect to the headset using a cable, with the pack presumably attached to your hip or in a pocket.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has done a ton of reporting about the headset, detailing what he’s heard from those on the inside about the various hardware and software aspects of what’s shaping up to be one of Apple’s most anticipated hardware launches since the Apple Watch in 2014.
Since its debut, Apple has sold more than 200 million units of Apple Watch models.
Playing either of those games, depending on your intensity level, can feel a lot like a workout.
