There are many claims about the price and features of Apple’s first mixed reality headset. The most well-known of these claims is that the headset will bring together the worlds of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These areas, which are closely followed by companies such as Facebook and Microsoft, are not unusual for Apple either. Because the technology giant has been working on augmented reality for a while. Now, new information has come about the mixed reality headset, which is said to be tested even by the company’s board of directors. With the information coming, it has been suggested that the new AR / VR headset could be launched early next year, but it could burn pockets.
“REVOLUTIONARY CONSUMER ELECTRONICS PRODUCT”
According to the news of Gizmochina, the information came from the famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In his latest report, Kuo denied rumors that he was leaving Tianfeng International Securities, claiming that the Cupertino-based giant plans to launch “the next revolutionary consumer electronics product after the iPhone” next year.
PRICE OF APPLE’S MIXED REALITY HEADSET BY KUO
It seems that the mixed reality headset, which will offer both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) functionality, will also be quite expensive. According to Kuo’s report, it will launch with a hefty price tag of between $2,000 and $2,500.
Also, the analyst added that the Apple-signed mixed reality headset could launch as early as January 2023.
EARLY 2025…
Judging by Kuo’s words, the pocket-burning mixed reality device isn’t the only title the brand is working on. Because Kuo claimed that Apple will also release an AR-specific headset. Apart from that, the company will apparently also launch the affordable version of the titles in early 2025.
