Analysts at the TrendForce market research institute predict that Apple's future augmented reality headset will include a monthly subscription system when it launches, based on cost estimates and pricing of current popular augmented headsets.
So far, there have been various reports about the price of Apple's first augmented reality headset , with a price tag of between $ 1,000 and $ 3,000. However, analysts now believe that in addition, Apple will make its headset available to the public with a monthly subscription.
According to Trendforce, the market for these products is currently dominated by Microsoft's HoloLens 2 headset . However, the "powerful supply" of Oculus and Microsoft devices is said to be forcing the Cupertino-based tech giant to launch similar products to compete with them this year.
"But given the needs for hardware performance and gross profit margins, Apple is likely to target the commercial market and adopt the same HoloLens pricing strategy," the report said. However, Trendfroce expects the device to sell for thousands of dollars and adopt a monthly subscription-based software approach.
Microsoft headsets also include subscriptions, but these are for third- party applications only . Because each augmented reality or virtual reality headset requires its own unique application , the company's analysts claim that the Cupertinos have the same approach as the HoloLens 2 third-party applications.
The HoloLens 2 headset targets the commercial and industrial user market. Although Apple products are more popular with consumers, some rumors claim that the company will design its first augmented reality headset for commercial use.
