The Apple AR/VR headset is supposed to be the next big product category Apple will announce after the Apple Watch. The Apple AR/VR headset was supposed to launch at this year’s WWDC conference but new reports claim that it got delayed until 2023.
In a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, he claims that Apple has run into some development issues with the headset. Gurman claims this will push back the launch of the headset “by at least a few months”.
The development issues are reportedly caused by the software and cameras and also the device overheating. Gurman believes the overheating issues are being caused by the two chips in the headset and one of them is as powerful as the M1 Pro chips from the new MacBook Pro models.
Earlier versions of the headset had external processors which would transmit data to the headset wirelessly to avoid overheating issues. Apple’s Cheif Designer at the time, Jony Ive disagreed with the idea and believed it would deliver a poor experience for the users.
Apple is now planning to launch the headset at WWDC 2023 and also unveil their new operating system for the device called rOS and get developers to start building apps for the device.
