Apple will want to use the best possible specs for an AR/VR headset that should offer more sophisticated specs than what’s available from the competition. With that in mind, Gurman’s prediction that Apple upgraded the mixed reality headset to the M2 SoC makes sense. The device will supposedly then be released sometime in Q2 2023.

Kuo now sees Apple unveiling the AR/VR headset in January 2023. The AR/VR headset will also get a secondary chip that handles sensor-related computing.Īt the time, the analyst expected Apple to unveil the mixed reality device in late 2022. Ming-Chi Kuo said back in late November 2021 that the first mixed reality headset will feature a processor similar to the M1 chip. But it’ll also deliver augmented reality (AR) features where users will see digital objects overlayed on top of the real world. The headset will feature virtual reality (VR) content, like high-end gaming. The Apple mixed reality experience we keep hearing about will involve seamless switching between VR and AR.
