TF International Securities expert Ming-Chi Kuo is known for anticipating Apple items & moves over a year beforehand using his source chain sources. Apple Track provides him a 72.5% accuracy rating.
In 2015 Kuo stated Apple’s headset will certainly release in overdue 2022, as carried out Taiwanese headlines outlet DigiTimes. The Information had actually originally reported on this 2022 launch plan back in 2019, and also Bloomberg’s Sign Gurman in 2020. But in January of the year, Gurman reported the item was actually put off in to 2023 because of “problems related to getting too hot, video cameras and software program”, and also in June Kuo professed it would certainly release around June 2023.
But Kuo currently asserts the headset has been actually put off also further, to the 2nd half of 2023 as a result of “software-related concerns”. Kuo mentions he right now estimates only 500,000 devices to be shipped due to the end of next year, contrasted to previous estimations of 750,000 devices.
The Information and Bloomberg have actually earlier mentioned the item is going to be priced in between $2000 and also $3000.
In August an Apple-linked firm submitted to trademark ‘Truth One’, ‘Reality Pro’, and also ‘Truth Processor chip’, proposing the headset as well as its cpu will be actually branded Apple Fact.
Previously in the year, an Apple-linked layer business trademarked RealityOS, as well as endorsements to realityOS were discovered in Application Outlet upload logs and Apple code. Bloomberg mentioned Apple is actually dealing with a realityOS (rOS) client for FaceTime with face tracking for steering Memoji characters, a virtual reality variation of Maps, spatial models of Notes as well as Calendar, the capacity to view a Mac computer’s display in-headset, and also AR/VR tools for developers.

Thus if the documents until now are to become strongly believed, Apple’s product will definitely possess greater settlement, a much more powerful cpu, additional attributes, and a slimmer layout than Meta’s Pursuit Pro– however at a greater price. And provided Meta apparently plans a follower for 2024, Apple’s headset might devote more of its own lifecycle completing against Journey Pro 2, which could feature OLED microdisplays as well as a faster chip too.
