UPDATE 12/8/22 8:05 AM ET: According to multiple reports, it’s possible Apple could use two different names here. That will pair with 16GB of DRAM, which means you’ll be wearing a MacBook on your face. Since then, we’ve seen reports of it having multiple chips inside, one of which would be “similar computing power as the M1 for Mac.”Īn even more recent report says that Apple will put the M2 chip into the headset. What kind of processor will the headset have? Image: AppleĮarly reports said that the headset wouldn’t do its own processing, instead it would need to be connected to an iPhone or Mac. That seems a bit clunky to us, but time will tell if this is true. One report from The Information also believes that AirPods will be needed to communicate with others while wearing the headset. The upcoming headset could also feature an Apple Watch-like crown that allows users to quickly switch between the screen and the real world. Essentially, the spot we’re looking at it will appear high resolution, while the periphery is lower quality. That type of display works in the same manner as our eyes.
Some reports say there will be a third AMOLED display behind those two high-resolution screens, to make a foveated display. The displays are supposedly 4K (4000×4000) using micro-OLED. These patents are related to eye-tracking, image-capturing, and controller processors. UPDATE 1:30 PM ET: Apple has now been granted five patents for mixed reality headsets. The headset will reportedly feature iris scanning as an extra layer of security. One report from TomsGuide via The Information says Apple’s headset will introduce a new biometrics security feature. That means a closed-off helmet-style headset, with external cameras for positional tracking, AR overlays, hand-tracking, and gesture control. What features do we know about? Image: Antonio De RosaĪpple’s first headset won’t be restricted to VR or AR content – it will feature both. Those include “Reality One,” “Reality Pro,” and “Reality Processor.”Ĭould that be the name(s) of the upcoming headset and the chip that will power it? We won’t have long to wait to find out. What will the headset be called?īloomberg reported that Apple has new trademark filings for names that could be associated with virtual reality. The headset that’s believed to be coming early next year is a more traditional helmet-style mixed-reality headset. Supply-chain analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, says that contact lens-type AR glasses are also in the works, with a 2030-2040 release window. He describes the headset’s launch as “the beginning of a post-iPhone era.” Isn’t this Apple Glass?

In a April 2023 newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is confident Apple will reveal its upcoming AR/VR headset at WWDC 2023. Then another headset is tipped to arrive in 2025, or possibly two, one cheaper and one more premium. That’s for Apple’s first headset, which might be developer-focused. It’s even possible it will launch with the iPhone 15, according to Kuo.

UPDATE : After apparent software issues, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now states the mixed-reality headset might not launch until Q3 of 2023. That could indicate that AR will be more important to Apple as a tool to improve user experience. Apple hasn’t confirmed this to be true but does consider AR “ critically important.” It’s one of the most open secrets in the tech world that Apple is working on a virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headset.
