For some time now we have been talking about an augmented reality set from Apple, a device that could become one of the most important products of the apple company, both because of the possibilities that would open up for it in terms of monetization and content, and because of its technical characteristics. , because according to the latest rumors, he would have everything to settle as “technological miracle”

Apple Augmented Reality Kit has been in development for several yearsso it’s clear that it’s very likely that it went through different stages and that several prototypes and different hardware configurations were discarded in them until the final form, which should be perfectly outlined since this novelty entered production. A virtual reality kit is expected March 2023.

It is important to note that the development of Apple Silicon would be essential because it will enable the apple giant use your own SoC in this new device, and this allows you to maintain a fully controlled and unified development ecosystem. You will also be able to manage the development and release of future revisions of your AR kit without relying on third parties, at least when it comes to SoC.

So what can we expect on a hardware level? Well, everything seems to indicate that we will see a high-performance chip that could be at the level of the Apple M2, always taking into account the limitations that the Cupertino company should assume. for space and thermal reasons. What I mean by that is that its brute force would be limited by those two keys, but that it wouldn’t end up giving up any of the key technologies we saw in the M2.

In addition to the M2 chip, customized and tailored to the specifics of Apple’s augmented reality suite, the Tim Cook-led company is said to build a total 16 GB of unified memory for use as both RAM and VRAM, and this will be accompanied by a high performance storage solution. Obviously, it will also have a large number of high-definition cameras to create a first-class augmented reality and mixed reality experience, and it will have two high-definition OLED screens.

The price will be high, but to what extent? At the moment, the most reliable information is given by Apple’s first set for augmented reality between $2,000 and $3,000. If this is true, there is no doubt that we will face one of the most expensive sets for augmented reality, although it also has everything to become one of the most powerful. Pegatron will be one of the main manufacturers of this new device, although its initial run may be quite limited, with talk of 700,000 to 800,000 units.
