This was stated by the analyst at Haitong Intl Tech Research Jeff Poo. According to him, now Apple is in the process of designing an AR headset. The prototype of the device is expected to be ready by the end of this year and Apple is expected to start mass production in the second half of 2024.

The analyst believes that Apple’s AR headset will use components from Corning and Hoya. It is also reported that the device will be called AR Glass.

Pu was one of the first to talk about Apple’s augmented reality headset. Unlike the mixed reality headset, which may debut later this year or early next year, the future AR device will be purely augmented reality.

In addition, Pu expressed his uncertainty that the iPhone 15, which Apple will introduce next year, will have a periscope camera. According to him, the probability of this is high and Apple will supply such modules to Lante in case of a periscope camera. Most likely, the periscope camera will appear on the iPhone 15 Max or iPhone 15 Pro.

It was recently learned that the company has been working on the mixed reality title for over five years. After the Apple Watch comes out in 2015, it will be a fundamentally new product. The emergence of the VR/AR headset will kick off Apple’s rivalry with the Meta and the still dominating Oculus headset.

• As always, Apple does not reveal any details for the official announcement.
• Well-known analyst Ko Minci wrote that the Apple headset will work on the M1 microchips.
• Bloomberg previously reported that the company was delaying the presentation due to “content and overheating issues” and cameras.

By the way, the first prototypes of the Apple headset were incredibly heavy, and some even worked on Windows. Finally, after the new direction was finally decided, a long work began on a new device that we could see very soon.
