Well-connected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple’s much-rumored AR/VR headset will be released by the end of 2022, with shipments ramping up in spring 2023.
Kuo’s comments come via a TF International Securities research note shared by MacRumors. Kuo also said Apple’s headset will boast two “3P pancake lenses,” featuring a folded design that allows light to reflect back and forth between the display and lenses. This design will allow Apple to release a more compact and lightweight headset.
We’ve seen various drawings and prototype renderings, with numerous reports claiming the headset will have a curved visor with a soft mesh material, swappable headbands, and more.
Display industry consultant Ross Young this week commented that Apple’s headset will be equipped with three displays.
