All the rumors about Apple’s innovative virtual and augmented reality headsets suggested that the device would hit the market later this year.
But now new information shows that only in 2023 the model reaches the hands of users. But it looks like the wait will be shorter than anticipated as the much-desired headset is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2023.
Apple headphones arrive in the first quarter of 2023
There are many rumors circulating about Apple’s new Virtual and Augmented Reality viewer that not only reveal the specifications it includes, but also point to it as the replacement for the iPhone. In addition, all the information leaks indicated that the team would arrive at the end of this year.
But now Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Securities, has publicly revealed that the much-desired headset won’t arrive until next year. To calm the grievances of the most expectant users with the model, the analyst also anticipates that it will be revealed in the first quarter of 2023, so the wait will not be that long -the latest information indicated that the equipment would be launched at the end of 2022 .
But Jeff Pu goes further and makes a sales projection for the new Apple device. According to the analyst, in the first year alone, the headphones could sell between 1 million and 1.5 million units worldwide.
Mark Gurman, a journalist from Bloomberg, agrees with this prediction by Jeff Pu and advances that the presentation of the team should take place between the fall of 2022 and the summer of 2023, and its effective arrival on store shelves should only occur in 2023.
But the possibility that Apple will present its innovative headphones later this year cannot be ruled out. This is because the company will be able to reveal the model in 2022 and only put it up for sale in 2023. In fact, this would not be the first time that the company has used this strategy. Remember that you’ve done it before with the Apple Watch and HomePod.
Specs expected on Apple’s VR/RA headset
Rumors are also circulating that point to some of the specifications that we can expect to see in the VR/AR viewer and these indicate that it will arrive with 10 advanced sensors (including cameras), not only to detect the environment but also that of the user. gestures; in the latter case to allow the user to control the equipment with air gestures, for example.
Apparently it will also come equipped with a set of two Micro OLED screens and a third AMOLED screen. Other rumors already speak of the integration of powerful proprietary processors of the brand that will give a performance equivalent to the line of Apple laptops.
As for the design, all the information indicates that it is inspired by the Apple Watch and the brand’s AirPods Max.
As for the price, so far the forecasts suggest that the headphones will arrive at a cost in the range of 2,000 and 3,000 dollars, that is, between 1,840 and 2,760 euros. It is a fairly high value, but Apple is known precisely for its strategy of getting paid for the included hardware and for the innovation it offers.
