The device may also include features not found even in alternatives like the Meta Quest Pro. Rumors suggest it could include dual 4K displays and a wide range of cameras that allow for advanced tracking and controllerless input.
You’d have to use the battery in an external package, but you’d also get an M2 processor that outperforms mobile chips in other standalone AR and VR wearables.
The underlying platform, xrOS, is said to include an iOS-style interface that relies on finger pinches and voice commands for interaction. There would be an emphasis on health, as well as updated versions of familiar experiences like full-body avatars during FaceTime calls. You can even have easy way to create apps using Siri.
This early model is reportedly aimed at creators and enthusiasts, and a WWDC debut would help developers understand the technology once it becomes public.
However, rumors also suggest that Apple is working on a more affordable headset closer to the $1,500 Quest Pro. This more accessible design may not emerge until 2024, but it suggests a longer-term strategy to make the company’s mixed reality technology more accessible.
