Apple’s ‘Reality Pro’ Headset
Despite some conflicting opinions over the past several weeks, there’s good reason to believe Apple is finally ready to show off its highly anticipated mixed-reality headset.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently doubled-down on his belief that Apple’s headset will be the “star of the show” and that Apple will have a “clear story for developers” in presenting the headset. This will include multiple sessions during the conference to showcase the headset’s capabilities and its accompanying “xrOS” operating system and development tools.
Gurman agrees with other analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo that the headset won’t likely go on sale for at least several months. Some have said it could even be delayed into early 2024, but Gurman thinks Apple wants to get it out in time for the holidays — even if a $3,000+ price tag makes it unlikely to end up on too many gift lists. Nevertheless, Apple intends to get the information out there so that developers can at least get to work on having an app ecosystem ready for it when it finally does arrive.
