Recent reports have suggested that Apple will showcase its long-rumored AR/VR headset at WWDC in June, and now Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest predictions are in line with the rumors and an industry analyst says the announcement is “very interesting”. most likely” and the company “well prepared” for the opening.
Kuo previously said that Apple is delaying the production of the headset until the third quarter of 2023, and as a result, the device may not be unveiled at WWDC, but the analyst apparently no longer has this opinion.

In a brief report published on Medium on Monday, Kuo wrote that the announcement of the headset next month “does well” for Supply Chain’s stock price, with the analyst citing five of the device’s components—other than the assembly. “the most expensive.” material expenses”, in his opinion.

These include 4K micro OLED displays, two M2-based processors, a headset body, 12 optical cameras for tracking hand movements, and an external power supply. These components are provided by Sony, TSMC, Everwin Precision, Cowell, and Goretek, respectively.

The price of the headset is expected to be around $ 3,000. Perhaps with that in mind, Apple will not target it to mainstream consumers, but instead position it as a device for developers, content creators and professionals. Apple plans to sell only one headset per day at a retail store, and told suppliers it expects to sell between seven and 10 million units in its first year of release.

Monday, June 5, is the date of Apple’s WWDC keynote event, where Apple is expected to finally break its silence on the existence of the headset, although some non-Apple employees may have been briefed about the device in advance.

In a tweet earlier on Monday, Palmer told Lucky, “The Apple headset is very good,” without going into detail. Lucky is the founder of Oculus, which was behind the original Oculus Rift VR hardware in 2012. Meta acquired Oculus in 2014, and Lucky is seen by many as the renaissance of the virtual reality market.
