Apple Expected to Unveil High-End Mixed Reality Headset Next Week
- Apple is planning to release an AR/VR headset that will cost around $3,000.
- The headset will have two displays inside, each measuring 1.41 inches diagonally with 4,000 pixels per inch and the ability to show more than 5,000 nits of peak brightness.
- The headset’s curved glass design and ultralight weight have caused manufacturing challenges, delaying the release date to fall or winter.
- Apple hopes developers and early adopters will build apps to showcase the headset’s potential, though some are concerned about its high price and limited use cases.
- The headset is rumored to run existing iPadOS apps, focus on gaming and productivity, and compete with Meta’s Quest 3, which may release at a lower price point.
