According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple plans to unveil its long-awaited mixed reality glasses at its annual WWDC 2023 developer conference.
It is reported that Apple has postponed the launch of the glasses from April next year to June next year and will be launched by the end of this year.
While Apple usually holds its annual WWDC developer conference in early June each year, the exact date for 2023 has not been announced yet.
According to Bloomberg, Apple delayed the release of the glasses, which will be called Reality Pro, due to hardware and software issues that needed to be resolved.
It is worth noting that Apple's chief supply chain analyst (Ming-Chi Kuo) tweeted back in January that mixed reality glasses could be launched in the spring of 2023.
For years, there have been rumors that the company best known for making the iPhone and many other consumer products was looking to enter the virtual and augmented reality market.
The company's next product is believed to be a strong competitor to Sony's virtual reality glasses and Meta, which has been focused on building a digital universe called the Metaverse for quite some time.
The company is expected to sell its glasses for around $3,000, and one of its biggest features will be more than 10 cameras inside and out, Bloomberg previously reported.
On the software side, the mixed reality glasses will work with xrOS and offer popular Apple apps like Messages, FaceTime messages, and Maps for mixed reality compatibility.
Announcing the upcoming glasses at WWDC, its annual developer conference, is believed to make sense if the company wants to showcase the glasses alongside the latest software tools developers will use to create apps for them.
At WWDC, Apple privately reveals annual software updates, selects new features for its iPhone smartphones, iPad tablets, Mac computers and Apple Watch smartwatches, and holds separate sessions during the conference for developers to learn more about the latest method to learn how to integrate it.
