Apple’s first augmented reality headgear will be unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2022, predicts MacRumors and 9to5Mac analyst Ming-chi Kuo in a research note.
We can now predict it by looking at the technological details on the device after Kuo stated in March that the headset will be released the following year.
The headgear will include two processors, one with “the same level of computing power as the M1 chip,” and a less powerful chip to handle input from different sensors, according to Ming-chi Kuo. In order to allow continuous video viewing through AR services, the headgear, for instance, contains “at least 6-8 optical modules,” according to Kuo. The headset has two Sony 4K OLED microdisplays, which is also known.
According to Ming-chi Kuo, the headgear stands out from rivals due to its “Mac-level (PC-level) computer capability,” ability to function wirelessly, and variety of apps.
According to a number of stories, the device relies on an iPhone (or another processor box) to stream content. No two descriptions may be identical.
If the AR headset is simply viewed as an add-on for the Mac (or) iPhone, Kuo claims that it will eventually become a stand-alone platform. It won’t aid in the creation of products.
This implies that a standalone AR headset will have its own ecosystem and offer the most comprehensive and adaptable user experience.
