News & Reviews:   Apple ARVR headset

For years, the Apple AR/VR headset has been a subject of much speculation. Its launch date has been delayed multiple times, and a rumour in February suggested another delay. But now, a reliable source believes that we could see it by next month.

Apple has long been rumoured to be working on an AR/VR or mixed-reality headset, though it looks like we may not be seeing it as early as first thought. According to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech giant is further delaying the headset after facing some software issues.

Apple has allegedly paused development on its augmented reality (AR) glasses and would focus on making a more affordable mixed reality headset instead. The tech giant is reportedly facing technical difficulties with the former, which has the same concept as the Google Glass smart glasses.

Apple may be offering an Augmented Reality (AR) feature on the iPhone soon that would allow customers to point at products inside the Apple Store and instantly receive more information about specs and pricing. The information will be shown through an overlay on the iPhone’s screen, with the feature itself to be embedded inside the Apple Store app.

Apple has long been rumoured to be working on its very own AR/VR headset, with the operating system already allegedly having a name, xrOS. Now, based on claims by industry insiders, it looks like the tech giant is ready to announce the mixed-reality headset as early as the first half of this year.

Previously, we reported that Apple’s AR/VR headset is getting closer to release after the company has already gotten the name of its operating system, xrOS. However, it looks like there are still some “software-related issues” to be resolved as according to reliable tipster Ming-Chi Kuo, the mixed-reality headsets have been delayed to the second half of 2023.
