Apple AR glasses will be available in 2022 |
A new report claims that Apple's augmented reality headset could hit the market as soon as possible in the second half of next year at a price tag of $2,000.
The report cites supply chain sources saying that this helmet has completed the second part of prototype testing and is ready to go into mass production in the second quarter of 2022 and launch in the second half of the year.
In June this year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo presented a similar schedule for the company's headphones, saying they would launch between April and June of next year.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, usually releases its new devices in the fall. The tech giant could deliver headphones in a similar time frame.
Future headphones may not be intended for consumers. On the contrary, it is aimed at developers and corporate clients.
A more consumer-focused product, Apple Glass, won't be on the market until 2023 at the earliest.
The report indicated that the device could contain a camera and an optical laser sensor, and also weighs about 100 grams, and has a 5-nm chip.
In contrast, Google Glass Enterprise Edition glasses weigh around 46g without a frame, and the newer iPhone 13 uses a 5nm A15 Bionic chip.
In addition, the glasses are connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth and the frame is made of magnesium alloy.

Previous reports said that the device should be connected wirelessly to your Mac or iPhone. Thanks to no less than 15 camera modules with eye tracking and iris recognition, it also has augmented reality capabilities.
The augmented reality function of the headset covers computer-generated images in the real world used. Improves game and tutorial.
A patent application from 2019 shows that Apple is working on a technology described as a display device with an array of 3D reflectors.
This 3D technology facilitates the integration of objects displayed on the helmet screen. This increases depth of field and reduces eye strain and nausea commonly caused by augmented and virtual reality.
