Apple company On Monday, it’s widely expected to announce a new hybrid headgear at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in California.
This will be the tech giant’s most significant product launch since the release of the Apple Watch in 2015.
The iPhone maker has so far limited its augmented reality efforts to the technology that runs on its current devices. But it seems ready to take advantage of the new generation of technology where the real and digital worlds meet.
The upcoming headset will put Apple in competition with FB dead mother that have been operating for years to push its own parallel digital universe, or “metaverse”.
What we know about the Reality Pro headset from Apple
According to media reports citing analysts, Apple is expected to highlight a “Reality Pro” headset, with a price tag of around $3,000 and software specifically designed for hardware that can resemble a pair of ski goggles.
The goggles are expected to feature the elegant design of the Apple family, combined with the ability to switch between virtual reality or augmented reality, which is referred to as mixed reality or external reality (XR).
While hopes are high that Apple will show off surprising technology, the high price tag of these Spectacles may leave many die-hard fans disappointed.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives estimated that Apple could sell just 150,000 units during the headphones’ first year on the market — a low number for a company that annually sells more than 200 million of its flagship product, the iPhone.
