Many analysts are anticipating that Apple glasses may arrive later this year, albeit in very limited quantities.
The same sources predict that virtual and augmented reality headsets will be Apple’s next big hit in generating significant profits.
Apple Glasses launches in late 2022 and reaches users in the first quarter of 2023
Several market analysts are turning their attention to Apple’s augmented and virtual reality headsets. Now they are beginning to anticipate that the Apple Glasses will be launched at the end of this year, with the first units arriving at the hands of users in the first quarter of 2023.
One of the voices most heard with these forecasts is that of the renowned analyst Ming Chi Kuo, who goes so far as to say that the Cupertino company considered presenting the innovative model in the first half of this year.
Also according to the same analyst, in a first phase, Apple will start by selling some units of Apple Glasses, but will be able to put more equipment in stores during the first quarter of 2023. This is, in fact, a current practice of the company.
Apple glasses will be the next hit in generating millions of profits
Other market analysts prefer to center their predictions on the success of the new headphones. And here they are unanimous in stating that this device will be the next great advance of the American brand, capable of generating significant profits and driving Apple’s growth, in the next ten years.
The idea is that headphones will replace the iPhone, in the company’s portfolio, as soon as the smartphone is discontinued. It may seem like an ambitious plan, but if we consider that there are around a billion iPhone users, the handset that will replace it already has a very important market waiting for it.
Apple glasses pre-orders in November and / or December 2022
But analyst Ming Chi Kuo goes further, saying that pre-orders for the new headphones could open to the public in November or December 2022. That could happen if the brand decides to present the equipment at its usual fall event, usually reserved for mobile devices. News.
But to the delight of Apple fans, sources like Bloomberg news agency reporter Mark Gurman point out that Apple may already be preparing to show a small glimpse of its headphones at this year’s WWDC, which will take place in June.
However, it will only be a small glimpse, as these sources also point to a later launch in 2022, in addition to hitting stores only in 2023.
What can we expect from Apple Glasses headphones?
In previous statements about the new Apple equipment, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had already presented some of the specifications that we can expect to see in Apple’s augmented reality model. So we know that it should include two processors, one of which would have similar performance to the M1 chip.
On the other hand, and being an Augmented Reality device, in addition to Virtual Reality, the headset will also have two LED screens with 4K resolution.
But best of all, it will work without the help of a smartphone or computer and, in addition to being compatible with third-party applications, it will also have its own ecosystem.
Apparently, Apple spares no effort or resources to make Apple glasses a global success and a worthy successor to the iPhone.
