According to sources, mass production of Apple's mixed reality helmet will be launched in September or October this year. The device will go on sale by the end of 2022.
The Taiwanese edition of DigiTimes writes that the Apple helmet has passed the second stage of EVT 2 tests, which means that several prototypes meet the company's design requirements.
Apple has completed the second round of engineering tests for its first mixed reality headset, which should be out before the end of 2022. The information comes from sources in the supply chain.
The next stage is the confirmation of the final design. The company will then be able to submit an application for regulatory approval of the device. According to DigiTimes, mass production of the helmet will begin in August or September.
If the device is indeed released in 2022, Apple should talk about it at the WWDC conference. This won't be Apple's only AR/VR headset. The company is also working on cheaper augmented reality smart glasses.
The first mixed reality helmet can cost between $2,500 and $3,000. The gadget will be aimed at application developers. According to DigiTimes, a cheaper version of the helmet for the mass buyer will be released in 2023. The accessory will weigh lighter, last longer and cost less.
The company has been working on its mixed reality helmet for several years now. It will be a completely independent device, and not an accessory for the iPhone, as previously planned. Due to changes in strategy, the release of the helmet had to be postponed. Many analysts believe that it will be released in 2022 or 2023.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes that Apple's helmet will still be released in 2023 due to production problems.
Today's news gives hope that the device will be released this year. In 2022, Meta will release its new AR/VR devices, so it's time for Apple to step into the game.
