Mark Gurman, a reliable Apple analyst, says the company's upcoming augmented reality headset will be designed for shorter activity sessions, not to fulfill the goal of the metaverse by leaving the real world behind for a digital Oasis.
Gurman wrote that he would be shocked to hear the word metaverse when Apple announces its headset. The idea of a completely virtual world where users can escape is off limits from Apple.
It seems like Apple CEO Tim Cook won't follow the lead of Facebook, er, Meta, and just about every other company that has chimed in recently to discuss the ways they can bring us closer to a poorly defined, ill-conceived future where the physical and digital world melt
Apple is said to debut a mixed augmented and virtual reality headset that will allow for bursts of gaming, communication, and content consumption. It is a device that allows you to get back to the real world once you are done playing a game or watching a movie.
We know that Apple is more bullish on augmented reality than virtual reality, but the details of its forthcoming device remain shrouded in secrecy.
We might know a few things. The headset will include two 8K displays, more than a dozen cameras for hand- tracking, and will retail for $3,000 according to a report from The Information. According to trusted analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, the device could run on multiple processors, including one with the power of Apple's M1 chip, to offer higher bandwidth and low latency.
It looks like we will be spared of any more rumors about Apple's upcoming product, as key details about its upcoming product are unconfirmed.
