Apple is unlikely to announce its rumored mixed reality headset or new AR/VR operating system at WWDC next week, as mass production of the device is still some way off.
Apple's headphones are expected to launch in 2023, and a premature announcement would allow Apple's rivals to "immediately launch copycat projects" and release competition before Apple's headphones hit shelves competitors' products.
Signs of the long-rumored operating system "realityOS" thought to be running on Apple's mixed reality headsets were first spotted in Apple's source code earlier this year, raising concerns about Apple's belated announcement of its headsets. Rumors sparked a trademark for "realityOS" surfacing over the weekend, with the deadline for foreign applications set to be June 8, 2022, two days after the WWDC keynote.
Including at least one chip overheating issue on par with the M1 Pro, as well as camera and software challenges, the headset's release may be delayed until 2023. Mac-related announcements are more likely to be made at this year's WWDC, with a new MacBook Air with an M2 chip likely to be launched despite supply chain issues.
The above is the detailed content of Apple unlikely to show off mixed reality headset at WWDC, expected to launch in 2023. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
