There are many rumors about Apple's mixed reality headset, which is supposed to combine AR and VR technologies in a single device. At the same time, the company is also working on a new AR glasses. According to Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong Intl Tech Research, Apple's AR glasses will be announced in late 2024.
In a letter to investors, Pu mentions that Luxshare will be one of Apple's main suppliers for devices released between late 2022 and 2024. Among all the devices, the analyst highlights products such as the Apple Watch Series 8, iPhone 14, and Apple's AR/VR headset. In addition, Pu believes that Apple plans to launch new AR glasses in the second half of 2024. At this point, no details about Apple's AR glasses have been revealed. What we know so far is that unlike Apple's AR/VR headset, the new AR glasses will be heavily dependent on the iPhone due to design limitations.
Apple's AR/VR future: The headset is expected to be unveiled in early 2023
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in 2019 that the so-called "Apple Glasses" will function more like a display for the iPhone, similar to the first generation of the Apple Watch. The mixed reality headset, on the other hand, is said to have a more robust design to accommodate its powerful hardware that can handle AR and VR content in high resolution and independently of other Apple devices. While most rumors are still focused on the first generation of Apple's AR/VR headset, Pu mentions in his report that the company is already planning the second generation of its headset, which is set to launch in late 2024 alongside the new AR glasses. Not surprisingly, the analyst still believes that Apple's new headset will launch in early 2023. (Photo by Iryna Imago / Bigstockphoto)
